I, Assassin

1982

I, Assassin builds on the jazzy elements of dance, sounds less experimental, and produced more hits. "We Take Mystery (To Bed)" made the top ten. Drummer Chris Slade (Manfredd Mann's Earth Band) plays alongside Numan's drum machines, and Pino Palladino gives Mick Karn's fretless bass a run for its money.
