I think Numan has identified Foxx as an influence, ironically. Foxx was leading Ultravox before Gary appeared on the scene.

I'll try to dig up the source, but I believe Numan had the lead on synth work and actually tutored Foxx in that light. Ultravox wasn't nearly as synth-laden in the early days (it becomes more predominant in Systems of Romance), and ironically, both Ultravox and Foxx become much more synthesized AFTER Foxx left Ultravox and Ure took his place. Billy Currie seemed much more in the spotlight after Use stepped in.
