For Future Reference

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. 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 and 2002 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.

The album was made available again in 2014 as a digital download only, this time under the title Terrestrial Channels and with Numan as the sole artist credit.

The album was eventually reissued as a remastered and expanded double CD edition released by Cherry Red Records on 22 April 2022, with Disc One including the original album track listing, plus eight bonus tracks consisting of 7-inch and 12-inch versions of singles and B-sides. Disc Two includes seven 7-inch single mixes and eight tracks recorded "In Concert - BBC Paris Theatre, London May 1982".

Although three new singles were released during 1982, a follow-up album to "For Future Reference" didn't eventuate:

• "Face on the Wall" (released 5 February 1982)
• "The Shame" (released 21 May 1982)
• "I Can See Her Now" (released 15 October 1982 and charted at No.57 on the UK Singles Chart)
