Great debut album 4 Sep 2005
By sonik57
Format:Audio CD
1980 is a quite a while ago but this album - released that year -still sounds great to me.

This is the album that spawned the singles Fade To Grey, Mind Of A Toy and the title track. Taking time out from their regular musical activities (Ultravox and Magazine - two of the late seventies' most influential British bands - among them), Visage were always conceived as a studio project and they delivered the goods on this album and its sequel The Anvil (1982).

Highlights here? The singles but also tracks like The Dancer, Blocks & Blocks, the stonking instrumental Moon Over Moscow and the homage to Clint Eastwood himself, Malpaso Man.

If you want to know how British synth-based pop/rock developed in the wake of Numan, Foxx and Kraftwerk, buy this and know the truth.

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is one of those albums that I bought after not listening to it for years and realising why I loved it so much in the first place.

The band consists of members of Ultravox, Magazine and Skids, along with singer Steve Strange. It's unusual to see such a melting pot of talent produce something so original and coherent. Steve Strange is far from the best vocalist technically, struggling to pitch and hold a tune for most of the album, but his style fits so perfectly that lack of technical ability is irrelevant - this is a perfect example of the performance being the most important part of the delivery.

The fantastic 'Fade to Grey' makes this album worth the price, but there is also 'Mind of a Toy' and 'Visage' here, along with some excellent instrumentals.

This album started the new romantic movement, and without it I don't think the movement would have got anywhere!

Music for early eighties fashion shows! I remember Steve Strange and Visage back in 80/81 when I was ten. When your that age bands impressions came and went with me. I do vividly remember the video and the bassline hook to Fade to Grey. This is the stand out track by far. The lyrics of Midge Ure and the music done by Ultravox's Billy Currie and Gary Numan keyboard player Chris Payne still sounds amazing today.

Sadly a one track album for me
I was expecting a bit more but regrettably it was a one track album for me, Fade to Grey being the purpose for the purchase and all that I would listen to again..

Not about looking good but sounding great
This album is a classic of it's time. In some ways I think it suffers for this - the visuals and the utter 1980-ness of the package mean it is largely forgotten. Read more
