On this day September 10, 1982, Gary Numan released his fourth studio album, I, Assassin. The album showcased Numan’s evolving sound, blending his signature synth-driven style with elements of jazz and funk. I, Assassin reached #8 on the UK charts, solidifying Numan’s continued success in the early 80s music scene.

The album features standout tracks such as Music for Chameleons and We Take Mystery (To Bed), and while it didn’t replicate the massive success of his earlier work, it remains a fan favorite, known for its experimental approach and moody atmospheres.

Fun Fact!

I, Assassin is often noted for Numan’s increasing use of bass-heavy grooves and a more organic sound compared to his earlier, more mechanical work.
