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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBy 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1    Remind Me To Smile  3:30\u003cbr\u003e2    Metal  3:39\u003cbr\u003e3    This Prison Moon  3:17\u003cbr\u003e4    Down In The Park  4:45\u003cbr\u003e5    This Is My House  4:22\u003cbr\u003e6    The Iceman Comes  4:33\u003cbr\u003e7    Films  4:57\u003cbr\u003e8    Cars  3:31\u003cbr\u003e9    We Take Mystery (To Bed)  7:41\u003cbr\u003e10    I Die: You Die  3:39\u003cbr\u003e11    Me!
