British synth pop outfit Dramatis originated as Gary Numan's backing band before striking out on their own when Numan announced his retirement from live performances in 1981. Following a handful of singles and their 1981 debut album, For Future Reference, the group disbanded, eventually reuniting with Numan a year later. Dramatis were revived in 2019 and released the single "The Torment of Angels," and Cherry Red reissued an expanded version of their debut album in 2022.
