DRAMATIS & GARY NUMAN - “LOVE NEEDS NO DISGUISE”

Anyone who wears as much black eyeliner as Gary Numan is bound to be at least a little bit of a drama queen, so it’s easy to look back at his 1981 “Farewell Tour” (that obviously didn’t mean too much of a farewell) as the reactionary tantrum of a youthful, unlikely success, flinching at being hounded by the press far more than he, or anyone, really deserved. But even if it ended up not meaning much for Numan’s continuing career, it did threaten the livelihoods of his backing band.

While the “Tubeway Army” moniker was abandoned in late 1979, its “foot soldiers” never really left. It’s less a story of a frontman setting out on his own and departing from the band that made him famous, and more a slight rebranding of the same thing. Faced with the apparent retirement of Numan, the other Tubeway Army members decided to attempt striking out on their own, and put together an album as “The Dramatis Project”--or, alternatively, just “Dramatis.”

While their 1981 LP, For Future Reference, and its assorted singles mostly fell short of chart success, they managed to score at least a minor hit with “Love Needs No Disguise,” for which they convinced Numan to return and provide lead vocals. It’s a good song, albeit a little uncanny in how un-Numan-sounding it is, despite his unmistakable voice; “Love Needs No Disguise” has little of the hard-edged, proto-industrial lashings of The Pleasure Principle, and instead tends more towards a dreamy, New Romantic sort of sound. While there are some atmospheric Tubeway Army pieces, like the Replicas instrumental “I Nearly Married a Human,” this track takes that sound and adds a layer of emotional drama, pushing it into something that almost sounds like Visage, minus only a little bit of the camp.

Sambutan Dramatis Badut Pengumbar Nafsu

"Hei, kamu tahu, terkadang aku merasa kita ini seperti sepasukan badut di sirkus kehidupan."

"Badut? Kenapa badut?".

"Ya, badut! Kita selalu tampil, selalu berusaha menarik perhatian, kadang dengan trik-trik yang menggelikan, hanya untuk mendapatkan tepuk tangan atau sorakan."

"Hmm, ada benarnya juga. Terkadang aku merasa seperti sedang berakrobat di atas tali, berusaha menjaga keseimbangan agar tidak jatuh dan dipermalukan."

"Nah, itu dia! Dan yang tak kalah menarik, penontonnya selalu ada. Seolah-olah mereka tidak pernah bosan melihat kita jatuh bangun, atau bahkan saat kita sukses melakukan trik yang paling bodoh sekalipun haha."

"Mungkin karena mereka juga melihat diri mereka sendiri di dalam diri kita?"

"Bisa jadi. Atau mungkin, kita ini hiburan gratis yang tidak pernah habis. Kita adalah cerminan dari keinginan dan ketakutan mereka, yang disajikan dengan cara yang sedikit lebih… dramatis."

The Reds Berhasil Imbang

Liverpool menjamu tamunya Fulham di Anfield berakhir dengan Hasil Imbang. Hasil imbang ini cukup memuaskan karena the Reds harus bermain dengan 10 orang. Tidak hanya itu Liverpool juga harus kebobolan terlebih dahulu. Walaupun begitu Lini Serang Liverpool tetap memberikan impact yang baik. Terlebih lagi dengan kembalinya Diogo Jota yang langsung mencetak gol. Gol penyama kedudukan di cetak oleh…
