Sacrifice is the twelfth solo studio album by English musician Gary Numan, released in October 1994 by Numa Records. Its release followed a self-acknowledged career low point, Machine + Soul (1992), and is often cited as marking the start of a critical and artistic rejuvenation for the one-time pop star. The album was released in the US in 1997 with a different cover by Joseph Michael Linsner, and a new title, Dawn, based on the comic book character of the same name, but the track listing was identical.
On Sacrifice, paraphernalia which Numan had previously, by his own admission, relied upon in a bid to make his music more 'radio-friendly', such as saxophone solos, dance rhythms and female backing vocals, were dropped in favour of a back-to-basics approach that saw him playing practically all instruments himself. The result was a dirty industrial sound with darkwave undertones; a departure from preceding albums that was seen by many critics and fans as a return to the best features of his classic early work: brooding synthesizers, distorted guitars and a highly personal lyrical perspective.
After bottoming out professionally and critically with the failed 1992 sellout Machine + Soul, Gary Numan officially began his comeback with Sacrifice, an album that found him, for the first time in years, perfectly in step with the Zeitgeist. Playing more guitar than he had since his Tubeway Army days and pumping up the metallic rhythms that had animated his late-'80s work, Numan forged a sound with striking similarities to the industrial clangor of artists like Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson, who were just beginning their ascendance. But just as important in staking Numan's claim as a godfather to, and contemporary of, such bands was his new lyrical focus; while he'd once painted pictures of sci-fi squalor, Sacrifice played up an even darker side, abandoning futuristic scenarios for horror stories straight out of Clive Barker ("Deadliner") and a relentless atheism that made this material his bleakest ever. (The exception is "You Walk in My Soul," a paean to his soon-to-be wife, Gemma O'Neil, that recalled the light touch of albums like Dance.) The gloomy outlook (reinforced by the all-black album cover) was tailor-made for the times, especially among fans of the electronic goth mutation known as darkwave, who began providing Numan with a new and devoted audience. It also helped kill the idea that he was one of the former '80s stars then beginning to resurface to play their old hits. While it's hardly easy or pleasant listening, Sacrifice did prove that, unlike those contemporaries, Numan had something left in the tank creatively. Perhaps just as significantly, the album kicked off a reexamination of his '80s material, often savaged at the time of its release but deserving of a much better fate.Review by Dan LeRoy, Allmusic.com
When Sacrifice came out in 1994, most Numan fans breathed a collective sigh of relief. Sacrifice was the first Numan album in years that did not have the Janet Jacksonesque dance music with the domineering female background vocalists. It followed Machine & Soul which many fans consider the lowest point in his career. I can find many excellent tracks off all of Numan's albums from his dance era (even his collaboration with Bill Sharpe), but I was still glad to hear his new sound when I first heard Sacrifice. This album is all Numan. He sings all the vocals and plays all the instruments so it is filled with synthesizers and drum machines with no saxophones or annoying female vocalists. The music is very dark and heavy. Most of the lyrics are about questioning God's existence or benevolence, which caused some controversy but, for me, makes for very powerful stuff.
On first listen, the tracks seem to run together with the omnipresent drum machine but, after several plays, songs begin to stand out. Sacrifice was the first Numan release in years on which I find no weak tracks. There are no instrumental fillers either. A lot of thought and care was put into each track as Numan took his music into a new direction. My favorite track is "A Question of Faith" of which there is a cool remix on the compilation The Mix followed by the hardest rocker on the disc "Love & Napalm." "You Walk in My Soul" is a dark, romantic ballad that a friend of mine actually wants played at his wedding. I don't know if it's that romantic, but it is nice. Sacrifice is also the album in Numan's new dark period that does not adopt a complete industrial sound. Most of his material after this album (especially Pure and the new tracks on Hybrid) takes this new style to a darker and heavier level with iniquitous screaming that may be a little much to listen to on a regular basis. Sacrifice stayed on the fine line towards industrial Nine Inch Nails style music brilliantly. I recommend purchasing this edition with the excellent "Metal Beat" demo. "Pray Like God" is not a filler B-side, but it is not as good as the rest of the album. It's rather bland and repetitive. For those who gave up on Numan when he started going techno dance, your missing out on some incredible stuff. Check out Sacrifice and then Exile and his latest material.Review by mwreview, Amazon.com
