Gary Numan - Disguise & Disconnection Gary Numan
Pickup currently unavailable at Dawson Street
Gary Numan rose to prominence in the late 1970s as lead vocalist, songwriter, and producer for Tubeway Army, a
punk-rock outfit that evolved into a pioneering new wave act by the time of their self-titled debut album.
After
releasing two albums with the band, Numan embarked on a solo career with a new backing group.
Known for his
dystopian imagery and fascination with synthesisers, he achieved major solo success with the hit single ‘Cars’,
helping to shape a sleek, electronic sound that would go on to influence countless artists.
By the early 1980s, Numan had become renowned not only for his innovative music but also for his theatrical live
shows and stark, cybernetic persona.
However, after stepping away from touring in 1981, he re-emerged with a new
creative direction.
Drawing influence from funk, jazz fusion, and more organic textures, his sound began to evolve
beyond the clinical minimalism of earlier recordings.
This transformation culminated in Warriors (1983), an album
that reflected both personal and artistic turbulence while exploring broader sonic landscapes.
The Warriors album was supported by a 40-date UK tour from September to October 1983, his first shows since his
Wembley ‘Farewell’ shows two years prior.
The tour was a rousing success, featuring elaborate staging, multiple
costume changes and a revitalised Numan in enigmatic form.
MARKETING & PROMOTION / SELLING POINTS
• Perhaps the finest show of the tour was Numan’s third night of a four-night run at London’s Hammersmith
Odeon on the 15th October 1983, a show that was also broadcast on local radio.
With a commanding
presence and a setlist spanning old hits and new material, the performance balanced innovation with
nostalgia and demonstrated Gary Numan at his most compelling.
Sufficiently reenergised after his stint away
from touring, the show was a musical tour-de-force that captivated all those in attendance.
The entire
performance from that electric night is now available for all to enjoy on this new CD.
