Sacrifice (Gary Numan album)

Sacrifice is the twelfth solo studio album by English musician Gary Numan, released in October 1994 by Numa Records.

A number of tracks displayed an antipathy towards religion, a stance that had been noted in isolated songs from early in Numan's career but which became more pronounced on this album and its successors, Exile (1997) and Pure (2000).

The same year, most of the tracks appeared on Dark Light, Numan's live recording from the Sacrifice tour.

The US edition has a somewhat different selection of extra tracks in addition to new artwork, just like earlier reissues of albums that were first published on Numa Records.
