Visage Release “”Very Best Of”” Album

• 29th Jan 2010

Who could have imagined that a few kids in the 1970s, fed up with punk, would open a nightclub; The Blitz in Covent Garden, that would pioneer a style of music that would become one of the most resilient and successful styles of the next few decades? Some 30 years or so later, ‘Electropop’ is still one of the most enduring genres around – MGMT, La Roux, Lady Gaga, Little Boots, Ladyhawke now top the year end polls just as Visage, Soft Cell, Human League and Depeche Mode did before them.

It is 30 years since Visage released the seminal Fade To Grey. It was a huge dance floor hit, topping the charts in the UK and Europe and is a track that defines the 1980s, instantly transporting any listener, who was around at that time, back to the days of the New Romantic vanguard whose painted faces and rococo attire adorned the pages of Vogue and The Face.

To celebrate this anniversary, Universal Music are pleased to announce the release of The Very Best of Visage, updated with 2009 remixes of Fade To Grey by Michael Gray – of The Weekend and Borderline fame, and Lee Mortimer, AKA Sawtooth Sucka and resident Ministry of Sound DJ, alongside the group’s complete chart topping hit singles and some of the classic and highly sought after original remixes and 12” versions.
