For Future Reference is the only studio album released by the British synth-pop band Dramatis. The album itself failed to reach the UK Albums Chart,however,one of the four singles released from the album,"Love Needs No Disguise",with Gary Numan providing vocals,reached No.33 on the UK Singles Chart [10] . The other singles from the album were "Ex Luna Scientia","Oh! Twenty Twenty Five" (titled "Oh! 2025" on the album) and "No-One Lives Forever". The album was reissued on CD in 2000 [11] and 2002 [12] and retitled as The Dramatis Project. This reissue was credited to Tubeway Army featuring Gary Numan,despite Numan's only contribution being the vocal to "Love Needs No Disguise". A further CD reissue in 2003,under the title Future,was again credited to Tubeway Army [13] .
