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.

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.
