Page "Gary Numan" Paragraph 13

Warriors ( 1983 ) further developed Numan's jazz-influenced style and featured contributions from avant-garde musician Bill Nelson ( who fell out with Numan during recording and chose to be uncredited as the album's co-producer ) and saxophonist Dick Morrissey ( who would play on most of Numan's albums until 1991 ).

The album peaked at No. 12, produced two hit singles including the Top 20 title track and, like I, Assassin, spent six weeks in the charts.

Warriors was the last album Numan recorded for Beggars Banquet Records, and was supported by a 40-date UK tour ( again with support from robotic mime and music duo Tik and Tok ) – Numan's first live tour in the UK since his Wembley appearances in 1981.

Numan's look for the album artwork and tour was a Mad Max-influenced black leather costume against a post-apocalyptic backdrop, but this latest image change was scorned by the music press.
