The 1st visage album is a masterpiece.so many great musicians on it. Many of the movers and shakers of the time spandau etc went to his funeral.well respected guy.rip Steve.
Madison County Sound Labs group? It’s was Midge Ure and a few other studio musicians Not a group Steve strange was just a figurehead a good one at that
@Little Green Cactus it wasn’t a group it was Steve strange and whatever pretty girl could lip sync the French vocals Midge wrote the songs Wasn’t part of the group Look up the wrecking crew if you don’t understand the concept of talented musicians writing music for folks who could perform One thing that Steve strange was brilliant at was marketing, fashion and self promotion He deserved to be the face of visage But midge was the genius behind the music
There only were three NeoRomantic groups. 1) Classix Nouveau 2) Duran Duran 3) Visage. The most underrated of the three and arguably the best, is Classix Nouveau.
+Dj Johnny Flashback Steve Strange is dead?? Do you know the circumstances of his death?? Loved him and his music since the first time i heard it....I will never forget!!
***** Too early and it is very sad Unfortunately thats life I wanted to meet him and thought I might but alas , That guy apart from Gary Numan was important to my life got me into making music so his death was very very hard for me but sadly that is how things are :(
The New Romantic era was the last hurrah for my interest in contemporary music. I was in my mid twenties. The playlist and favoured groups that inspired the New Romantics reflected what had been my musical taste throughout the late sixties and seventies. Zager and Evans Bowie, RoxyMusic, Kraftwerk, Jarre, Human League mk.1, anything remotely electronic sounding or unusual. The late seventies was a remarkable time for the sudden diversity of musical types but most of all the emergence of the synthesiser as the main instrument in newer bands energised a medium that had become rather tired of guitar driven rock/pop music. It was a great time: alright, some of the songs could be a little twee but you always get that in any musical genre. There hasn't been quite the same kind of eruption in music and fashion since then.
RIP Steve Strange - sad news - since I thought Visage's "comeback" album - 2013's Hearts & Knives - was a real return to form - the face and force behind the #80s New Romantic movement, BBC's Robert Elms said it best: "Steve loved the night...and the night loved him."
as I get towards 60 next year I am glad I was born when I was the 70s 80s what music what a band visage was great track this I do a lot of partys and 70s 80s at weekends and I still use a lot of vinyl I have and we have a lot of younger people turn they love the music and I will go spinning vinyl as long as I can love it

there were some early vinyl promos that are very rare and i believe some on green or white vinyl. sometimes these novelties are the best...the most confect (as the french would say).
Perfection doesn’t make perfection, if destroying myths is the answer you live happy in the knowledge you got all but 1, because nobody else gives a fuck. In fact they don’t know about our odd world.
it wouldn.t surprise me...there were so many editions trying to get "in" there. one of my friends mentioned seeing a poster of the gang in tuxedos. there were so many editions floating around. one thing for sure is they really were popular in toronto.+++

I love this song so much. That early 80's synth-sound was everything! Also this photo is gorgeous! Shot by the one and only Helmut Newton.
i taped it while listening to Radio One Top 40 and listened to this song over and over ever since.never got old.

One of the best and most underrated of the new romantic groups.

Not a group
Steve strange was just a figurehead a good one at that
God rest his soul. A great era. Love from Glasgow Scotland..
@Little Green Cactus it wasn’t a group it was Steve strange and whatever pretty girl could lip sync the French vocals
Midge wrote the songs
Wasn’t part of the group
Look up the wrecking crew if you don’t understand the concept of talented musicians writing music for folks who could perform
One thing that Steve strange was brilliant at was marketing, fashion and self promotion
He deserved to be the face of visage
But midge was the genius behind the music
@Little Green Cactus what bands have you toured with? I’m still waiting for a response.
There only were three NeoRomantic groups.
1) Classix Nouveau 2) Duran Duran 3) Visage.
The most underrated of the three
and arguably the best, is Classix Nouveau.
Classix Nouneaux was the most underrated group of those times.
June 2023!! 🏊
One of the best songs ever made.
One of my favorite songs
R.I.P. Steve Strange.. you will never fade to grey :(

It was heart attack. He was in Egypt, he died in a hospital.
What an amazing record.

Favourite Visage 12"... ever. SO stunning
This track and others were hidden gems
Brilliant track......
Moments pass by, oh so slowly
Makes me lonely too
Twisting street light, in the darkness
Makes me lonely too
I was 13...what an era...80's rocks !!!!
love it
Great days.
Me too, it's almost winter and I as always start playing all my new romantic music again, again..
My favorite Visage song - New Romantic synth pop classic
Dozer LA me too
Love the instrumentation in this song.
Thank you Steve for so very much ....
great song - new wave at its best - nice synth-sound
Sensacional. 🎧
Love this 12". Have it at home, but haven't played it for probably 20 years.
get it out give it a spin great track
I love this photograph. This was everything I wanted to be back then. 😄
such a pivotal track for electronic music in the day. Lends itself well to some of the new pioneers. One of a kind, truly and truly timeless

Great Remix probably best visage Album.Melancohly but with pumping synth hard arpegiator brilliant. Takes me back.Thanx for post !
Not to forget Billie´s phantastik keyboards on the first 2 albums. I adored them these days, when i was in my early 20ies
Q pedazo de tema. Muy logrado. Años 80.
as I get towards 60 next year I am glad I was born when I was
the 70s 80s what music what a band visage was great track
this I do a lot of partys and 70s 80s at weekends and I still use
a lot of vinyl I have and we have a lot of younger people turn
they love the music and I will go spinning vinyl as long as I can
love it
john rooster I'm the same age as you John, the 60s , 70s 80s was a fantastic period for music..plus the epic summer of 1976.
I am the very same, they were magical times and so glad I was there,
You can hear the beginnings of techno in this track, especially with the intro.
Thee whole Zeitgeist , thee spiritual flavor ov a flashing generation , captured , in thee rapture ov this song ...
New Wave romantic ... Visage ... forever ...
I have this version on vinyl
incredible! would love to make a video to this - so haunting and flowing
for me is a very good influence, greetings!

The music is so good ass worth to listen and enjoy it all ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊😊
Rip Steve strange what an artist simply the best
My girlfriend and I made this "our song" years ago so it's exciting to hear this remix!
Still playing both versions of this
I forgot Midge Ure and some of Ultravox were previously in Visage and had a hand in writing this classic.
200% ultravox and the voice intonation Midge Ure
there were some early vinyl promos that are very rare and i believe some on green or white vinyl. sometimes these novelties are the best...the most confect (as the french would say).
david tracey the rarest visage vinyl is, Der amboss, promo 12" probably costs around a hundred quid.
never heard this one, pretty interesting
Memories of a CLASSIC
It's not the original 12inch. Clearly a newer edit using digital mixing techniques. Anyway, well done.
this is my favourite song of all time
Perfection doesn’t make perfection, if destroying myths is the answer you live happy in the knowledge you got all but 1, because nobody else gives a fuck. In fact they don’t know about our odd world.
GREAT SONG ...
R.I.P. Mr. Strange
Awesome stuff!!
RIP Steve legend x
There's something mesmerising about the synths on this, despite them being superficially rather simple.
still love this song
it wouldn.t surprise me...there were so many editions trying to get "in" there. one of my friends mentioned seeing a poster of the gang in tuxedos. there were so many editions floating around. one thing for sure is they really were popular in toronto.+++
R.I.P. Steve Strange....really damned don´t cry.
Mein Lieblingssong!!! RIP
Chouette !
FUN FACT: Visage Was A Visual Creation By Midge Ure, Ultravox. It Was Never Meant To Be An Actual Band.
Actually Elio the band was created by Rusty Egan and Midge Ure
They were the face of the Blitz Club and early New Romantic scene. There was a need to project this new scene into the public consciousness and create a movement to inspire and motivate their generation: it worked.
Strange leyenda!!!!!
@TheXavisVampirekiss This is the Most Phenomenal Version I have ever heard. I just wish it was a bit Louder but, Thanks anyway it's still Fabulous !!!
There is a lesson to be learned from all this...
