:D Not seen that in a long time... Not the Nine o'clock News could be quite harsh! Shame there's no one getting away with this sort of thing any more.

No, I had this debate when I first came on here!! :lol: I've always done it (not shout) as I never knew that capitals were classed as shouting until someone on here told me; if you look over a lot of my posts, I use bold, bright colours, capitals and all sorts of whatever etc................. I guess old habits die hard!!! :ner: :lol:Quote:

An underrated classic, imo.
I would guess Loz is in his late '50s to early '60s.Quote:

And yes Steve, I'm pleased I got you into Japan/David Sylvian....................... real worthy addition to anyone's collection and I'm glad you like em!! :thumbsup:
Yes the songs are what you touch you emotionally, stick in your memory, as you hear them day day out here there and everywhere. Vienna was pipped by Adam and his ants, though it probably is the more memorable record, very distinctive sound. Also Visage Fade to grey.
Sex dwarf - gotta play it loud!!Quote:

A legend tune. Why doesn't this crop up more often ?
100% agree. Sleazy at it's best.Quote:

I've put the Visage albums on here quite a few times but, at the time, it didn't get much interest. I cant understand why as they are REALLY GOOD (IMHO) and are classics. I must say though, it's the first and second albums (Visage and The Anvil) that are the ones to get as the third album (Beat Boy) isn't quite up to scratch - you have to wait 30yrs before Visage returned and out of the blue did a really great album called Hearts & Knives; when I first got wind of that, I thought it would be just another attempt at a comeback for older artist/band............... BUT IT WASN'T!!! This was a REALLY GOOD album, mixing the classic sound of Visage with some newer sounds and really was beyond my expectations as I thought they couldn't recapture that original vibe...... but they did!!!
After Hearts & Knives, Steve and the band did another album called Demons to Diamonds but it wasn't as good as Hearts & Knives. Unfortunately, sometime after releasing Demons to Diamonds, Steve Strange died of a heart attack in 2015. I think there was another album released called Orchestral, a mostly live album containing twelve Visage songs remade with a symphony orchestra.
Got this one cranked up a bit - it's punchy

This LP was released in 1983 but the track Going Home could have been written this morrning. Will we never learn ? Feckin’ depressing
Did you know that Jerry Dammers is related to Barry of this parish? That's a pretty good claim to fame :)Quote:

Sir Horace Gentleman - what a bass player.

The Fixx - 1982 - Shuttered Room. THIS ALBUM IS GENUINELY (IMHO) BRILLIANT and I would gladly put it in my top 20 of all-time favourite albums!!
Nice bit of colour-matched text Loz, and you already know what I think of this album :) Don't know why this band were so much more popular in the US than here :scratch:
Steve, I guess it must be that people over here aint got a clue when it comes to good taste in music............. except for the "select few" mate!!! :eyebrows: :lol:Quote:

A joyous riot of an Album ��
Which leads nicely into -

Which is likely (today anyway) one of my top 20 Albums
