GARY NUMAN

LP

I ASSASSIN

DARK GREEN VINYL

+ PROMO INFO SHEET

Restored from the original analogue

tapes, presented on HD audio.

Pressed on dark green vinyl.

Originally released in 1982, ‘I, Assassin’

is Gary Numan’s sixth studio album and fourth

under his own name.

Combining fretless bass with heavy rock drumming,

Numan further refined his dark, sparse, funky-

electro style,

mixing it with impenetrable, slurred vocals.

Numan recorded and wrote most of the music

Between January and March 1982, following his

infamous round-the-world trip in a light aircraft and

a near-death crash onto a British road while co-

piloting a spiralling Cessna.

Three of the album’s songs made it into the UK Top 20.

According to Numan, who was still only 24-years-old

at the time, “the round-the-world flight, the plane  

crash, these were big things that helped me shape a

new opinion of myself. Those experiences gave me

a self-confidence, a genuine strength that I hadn’t

had before.” Twenty years later, the singer

enthused, “I still think it’s one of the best

albums I’ve made.”

I, Assassin’s heavily percussive approach led to  

Several tracks becoming unexpected intruders on

 American dancefloors, notably the 12” single of

‘Music For Chameleons’ and a specially remixed US

 version of ‘White Boys And Heroes’.

 ‘I, Assassin’ stands out as a record fiercely

propelled by powerful rhythms in songs laced with

 an earthy cynicism.

 “‘I, Assassin’ also utilizes the warped elasticity of

Fretless bass lines underneath his customary  

monotone vocalising and abstract lyricism.

 Highlighted by the upbeat synthetic funk of ‘We

Take Mystery To Bed’ & ‘White Boys’, ‘I, Assassin’ is

an in-depth examination of genuine dance music

roots.” - URB Magazine
