Dramatis was essentially the backup band for
Gary Numan in the late 70's, early 80's. They released the
LP "For Future Reference" which, if it had not been for the die-hard Numan fans, probably would have gone completely unnoticed (even if it HAD been released in the US, which it wasn't), despite some fun, hook-laden songs
"Oh 2025" for example and Human Sacrifice. This album
will likely only appeal to the Numan fans masses or fans of early 80's synth/new wave material. The material does not really stand the test of time, unlike the bulk of
Numan's material. Numan appears only on the track "Love Needs No Disguise" and yet the CD
version is marketed as a Tubeway Army/Numan CD billing it as "Project Dramatis" for some inexplicable reason. I wish this had been released in it's original form with, perhaps, some unreleased material that may have been uncovered in the archives. On the plus side, for those of us who were never able to actually FIND the original Dramatis LP, it's a blessing to finally have this material released particularly on CD :
