4.0 out of 5 stars excellent, but the pressing presented here is outdate, August 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Visage (Audio CD)

Visage's self-titled album is a real masterpiece. Te instrumentation is great, Steve Strange's vocals is good, in short, this album is a perfect example of the New Romantic music of the 80's. However, this particular UK Polydor pressing is outdated since One Way Records rereleased the album in remastered form with the dance mix of "Fade to Grey" as bonus track. So, go to the previous page and select the "Visage + bonus tracks" title, it is also chaper than this one

This review is from: Visage (Audio CD)

I have listened to this album many times and it always strikes me as being unique. Certainly it is very pretensious, but so was all of the posing and imagery of the time. The tracks are an eclectic mix of synth music with Strange's vocals over the top, and instrumentals such as "The Dancer" with a beat that could almost pass for some of the glam rock tunes of the decade before. It is not music you can dance to; but as I recall from visits to Strange's clubs of the time (Club Blitz, Club for Heroes etc) that wasn't the point. You listened and posed and checked-out everyone else. The album really evokes the era well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Visage ~ Visage, July 26, 2005

Visage is a one tremedous album from the mind of Steve Strange. This is without a doubt the best New Wave album of all time. Strange has some tremedous vocals and the lyrics are incredible. Tracks such as blocks on blocks, fade to grey, tar and mind of a toy set the bar high and the rest of the tracks are truly amazing in their own right. The cover art for this album is astounding and the dancing couple with the band in the background is one of my favorite covers of all time. This is an album not to be missed.
