one of his best albums..the turning point in his career when he started making music he loved rather than to please the Record labels...Thanks to his amazing wife,Gemma for making him believe in himself..
@@outpost31737 i like some of it, like 'Absolution' and 'Crazier', but he tends to use the same lyrics over and over: "God, you suck" plus the BDSM stuff. i know its tough being in a one-man creativity situation, but i just get tired of the asberger's fixation on the same themes
I truly loved this album and all the memories of 94. I had some lovely times with gary and beryl and Tony at the gigs but especially the sacrifice tour. I had some lovely conversations with beryl when she used to call me. May she rest in peace. She was a truly beautiful woman with a heart of gold. And she was so very proud of gary. It's good to have memories but also sad how memories can really hurt you when you look back and see how times have changed and how empty life can be when we realise how many beautiful people have gone from our lives but not from our hearts. 👤
This album helped me get through a very dark time in my life. For that i will forever be gratefull to Gary Numan. (I collected scars like a man at war and then i thought "isnt life peculiar")
Same. The power of music is unmatched. The fact that people here share the same passion, makes it so much more than just music. ‘Sacrifice’ is brilliant. I remember having horrible night terrors about 15 years ago. This album frightened me at first. The opening track is eerie, but once I embraced the record and acknowledged my own pain, it was a light in the dark for me. ♥️
I absolutely love this album too, but I was actually in the best part of my life when this came out. It just made life even better listening to this album. The music is definitely some of his best. Also, I knew he was an atheist pretty much right after I started listening to him in 1980 (as an U.S. American, I was a bit late to his music). Even though I believe in a different higher power, if you will, I stopped believing in any religion by 8th grade. So this album spoke to me like so many of his others because I love that his music is so emotionally honest. And his railing against god and basically people who think atheists are going to hell resonated with me so much that I loved the album even more. What does an atheist or someone who doesn't believe in hell care that you think that. It's laughable at best. My one grandfather was an atheist (married to my practicing Catholic, but not preachy or forceful Grandmother), I was engaged to an atheist, and my best friend who also has spiritual beliefs is married to an atheist (26 yrs. now). I loved singing these songs at a very loud level and getting my own emotions about these things out. And isn't that what Gary Numan does best? Makes amazing sounding and honest music that his listeners can relate to so much that he actually gets people through some of the hardest times in their lives. For me it was Dance, which I owned and listened to for years, but for some reason it was that album that got me thru junior year of high school (1985). Every morning I started with Slowcar to China and it calmed me down enough to actually face the day. And Tubeway Army's Replicas still gets me through bad days. I really wish he realizes what he and his music has and continues to do for his fans and listeners.
It sounds to me like he's being original, pretty unique flavoured music, but in modern music most artists use the same elements to create their own sound. In no way this makes me think about DM, but in the sounds, yes they use what everyone uses. Same could be said to the first days of synths, since everyone used Moog and that was the sound of that era, but each one has its own distinctive vibe.
I love you Gary Numan! Your music defines my life as if you are watching me through a spy glass filled with cracks! Keep up your wonderful music. We NEED YOU!
@@garynumansunconvincingwig2435 I was only expressing the ideas that Gary Numan inspires in me. It was not a description of something from the past. My childhood and many of my memories have Gary Numan's music as part of the foundation. I would love to be in his presence someday before he retires.
He's helping my life. I resonate with all his music. Unbelievable music. More music per inch of tape and the words touch with all parts of me. Especially dead son Rising is my own family. What I'm going through with them. Sad.
Had totally forgotten just how good this album is and yet somehow i never ended up with a copy. Just put that right, managed to get hold of the USA version, not extended or with extra tracks sadly, still very happy. Brilliant album, many thanks for posting, for now its playing on loop here...bliss.
Bought this album in the 90s only because i was a big Joseph Linsner DAWN comic fan. Ended up liking the album tho. This album was billed as "Music to read DAWN comics too." And i did that many times
Stumbled upon this album today after looking up Dawn comics online. Really glad the rabbithole led me here as this is an awesome album! Going to read my Dawn comics to it as well :D
@@sstrange96 He founded Numa, so obviously there is no-one else involved. The production methods have changed, Gary now creates things in his own studio, based on crowd funding; so there is no need to run a record company. Source: Autobio (R)evolution by Gary Numan
I never write reviews. But this album is unbelievably fantastic. I like Gary's early stuff and his last two albums - what happened in the intervening years is a mystery. I must have missed this one somehow. How did Numan come up with this work? Truly inspiring. So much more than it seems.
The Haunting solo piano with an agelic dark synth in background is the essential Depth I just embrace. it has always been the Numan vibe even pre (my fav) "Exile". The newer stuff hitches a ride with better Bottom end now. Can't get enough Numan..Nope*
I own the American version of this CD, it's called Dawn, for some reason. It has some female-warrior comic book character as the front cover. The artwork in the booklet is beautiful, though, the whole thing makes little sense to me from a marketing perspective. Also, thank you for uploading this. I did not even know this album had an extended version like Exile. I almost thought this would be a bootleg like some Pure extended albums. I imagine this is pretty rare to find, so you are a legend in my eyes. 😎
@@numan6959 3 years! But no. His 80s albums were great but patcy by his own admission. Those 3 do make a pretty rad trilogy. Now, Id rate his last 4 as ( maybe ) his best.
@@numan6959 I will agree hes getting lazy re the industrial phrase. His last album Intruder waa praised, I myself was a tad dissapointed. And would it kill the guy to lighten up, just a tad! Lol.
If any of you guys listen to Kraftwerk and are familiar with 'Stop Sellafield' from The Mix...the voices used have a lot in common with the beginning of Pray.
This new direction was inspired by Songs of faith and Devotion (Depeche Mode) Its cool to look the style differences btw this album and the one before it. Thanks to Depeche Gary bacame darker :)
I've got the dawn version it's a fantastic album it needs re recording which I believe he is in the process of doing. Truthfully this is way better than his latest albums. 👽
With Gary re-recording this and the two other albums after this ,1 will he do an extended album again ?, 2 , will he release them over a period of say a year , and not all 3 in one go (could be a lot of money to fork out , colour and picture discs etc .) and 3 , it would be a great reason to do another residency , 3 night 3 albums . Please what are your thoughts ?
I have heard from good advice that this version was never officially released by Numan and he denied all knowledge of it. So, if it was shelved, how has it escaped his clutches? Or was it briefly available? Either way, I've never heard it and well done to the uploader! 90 mins of this dark stuff really sounds great.
Can’t see that being true as I’ve got the extended CD. It’s a quarter of a century ago now, so the memory can play tricks, but I’m fairly sure it was all official and sanctioned/promoted by Numan.
So, come on, he’s gonna play at least one track from this massively important album on his 40th anniversary tour. Which one will it be? ‘Seed of a Lie’ is up there with the Numan greats for me, but I wouldn’t be averse to a bit of ‘Scar’. What do you reckon?
Every Time I call his name MMMMMM my soul just OMFG Thank him for being so deep & Wise Oh Canada friends LoL :)! Amazing soundtrack... Darksiders? Lol! Thanks for coming HOME :D I bought two tickets but went alone & got fisherman handled by a fellow audience member LMFAO haven't released The footage but seeing him in person I'd do IT All over again including putting my corset on in traffic hahahahahahaha! -TheApsylum #IAMCANADIAN #TORONTOINTERNATIONALFILMS #FESTIVALS #ARTISTS #MUSICHEALS
Dance is a great album, great songs, a bit more experimental but feels like a natural evolution from Telekon to me. There’s more of a commercial sound to the albums after that but always changing style and each album a little different with something good to enjoy. Got too commercial and unoriginal for a while bit he snapped out of that.
Lmao knowing that Replicas and The Pleasure Principle along with Telekon can be heard samewise without any changes. This is called "style" and Numan preferred to go with drum machines.
Don't agree that this is a return to form. It's ok in parts but the production is awful and the final sound mix is all over the place (no it's not my stereo Gary). Since then it's been dirge after dirge.
.rsdevil why somany adds,you neede the mony?its ruiind the whole album,and that always the same with your music shame on you Ruud from the netherlands, will now skip this and warn my friends for it in the netherlands so many adds..Jezus!
Was in the fan club when this was released when he was about as popular as leprosy. Listened to it 3 times the day I bought it. Still blows me away...

@@melissaschiller713 You must be joking !!!
"when he started making music he loved" you mean boring BDSM dungeon music?
@@rickdeckard1075 Lol. He's latched on to an outdated style that the likes of Front 242 were doing in the 90's. Numan's music is stale and boring.

Someone once said that the ripples we make, never stop whilst our name is spoken. They may be gone from our lives, but never from our memory.
So eloquently said
"...and I would do anything... _anything_ you understand... just to wake up..." The horror of night terrors set to music. Epic.
I love this album ❤

Oh weird...I always thought 'Exile' was the first "dark" album by Mr. Numan. Well, now I have track this album down (never even heard of it before).
Me too, where have I been.
Gary's answer to Depeche Mode's Songs of Faith and Devotion.
Definitely both.
Not as good as the depeche mode album on first listen
Depeche Mode began to emulate INXS, they are an indirect influence, too.
It sounds to me like he's being original, pretty unique flavoured music, but in modern music most artists use the same elements to create their own sound.
In no way this makes me think about DM, but in the sounds, yes they use what everyone uses.

one of my favorite numan periods. industrial but not too metal like some of the later stuff. love that synth bass.

I always have loved it
And I always will love it
Sheer brilliance
NUMAN IS! This is the pivot point.
I think Deadliner is a gorgeous track and absolutely deserves a modern remix / retooling
My God, this is amazing. I never knew until now.
If you listen to this album alone at night it will make you feel alive.
Can confirm.
Numanoid heaven.
So good. So underrated. I wish he’d revrecord these tracks. They are truly great!!
He has and will be releasing it after he's finished with the intruder tourl also pure and exile.

Hopefully Gary still owns the rights to everything from Numa records and can reissue those records himself soon.

Masterpiece
Agreed , to find NUMAN vinyl from Sacrifice and the next 2, 3 albums are very expensive, but could be worth an investment.
8 cd singles desire scar magic blèed whisper of truth play like god love and napalm you walk in my soul
Ah, the sampler/drum loop, groovebox craze of the early 9's.. I think Enigma - Sadness brought a lot of it on..
Check out "Vangelis - Dance Of The Sensualities" (from the film Bitter Moon) for an answer
Superb album :) Subbed :)

are you saying you got into a fight?
First time I read this album's track listing, i misread "Metal Beat" as "Meat Beat".
After all, he said "My love is liquid" and "I smell the lust in my hand" LOL
@@dougm118 "I unstick pages, and read." And read? Yeah, sure Mr Webb, I believe that there are words in your mag.
Was this re-issued without the Love and Napalm extended mix?
Play Like God, kinda reminds me of the movie Hackers...anyone...anyone?
wow what drum machine was used on this album?
From what I've heard, he simply used drum loops.
Perhaps you have mistaken the drum's with than background effect.
every sft1 get's a sf2. and this is it.
also on "a question of faith" did capcom bare ass steal that synth loop for sfta3 or was it SNK? don't know.
What!
All sounds the same. From his first album to Telekon, he had it. And then he lost it Dance onwards. Everything from then on sounds the same.
Dance is a great album, great songs, a bit more experimental but feels like a natural evolution from Telekon to me. There’s more of a commercial sound to the albums after that but always changing style and each album a little different with something good to enjoy.

Lmao knowing that Replicas and The Pleasure Principle along with Telekon can be heard samewise without any changes. This is called "style" and Numan preferred to go with drum machines.
It sounds like hes reused some of the soundtrack he recorded for the unborn in 1991
most of the basic tracks were built from a bunch of instrumental tracks he did for his air display film " The Radial Pair "
Goo Numan album.Needs redoing with a decent drummer and some nice outboard gear
When Duran Duran marries Black Sabbath, the 'dark age / gothic' Gary Numan borns.

Who is this gifted dweeb.
