1982 had not been kind to Numan - dealing with the fallout from his decision to stop touring, his mishap-prone flight around the world, plus diminishing returns in terms of sales with the lackluster "I, Assassin" album. His relationship with his label Beggars Banquet was becoming more strained but despite all of these obstacles, he returned in the autumn of 1983 with his final original Beggars release, "Warriors". It's a magnificent album, harder and more industrial than the previous two releases, supported by a welcome return to the UK stage with the extensive and eye-popping Warriors Tour. I have a huge emotional attachment to the album as it's my "break-up" soundtrack as my first girlfriend of 3 years dumped me during the latter days of 1983, not long after we saw Numan on the Warriors Tour for second time. It's all detailed in my Numan memoir "Remind Me to Smile: The Life & Times of A Teenage Numanoid" (you know where to look for it). Buy the album though - it's an essential purchase.
