Warriors

1983

Gary's last album for Beggars Banquet was the first to feature female backing vocals (if you don't count Dance). It was also the first to have a producer other than Gary himself: Bill Nelson from Be Bop Deluxe. Bill eventually left Gary to it (because of artistic differences). The album features some excellent saxophone playing by Dick Morrissey, and fretless bass courtesy of Joe Hubbard. The synths are atmospheric - creating images of a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
