Passionated and edgy for the New Wave influences but from the self-titled album of this London based Electro and Synth plus Goth-Pop and glamour or can be classificated as New Romantic movements on the eighties; Visage really can commanding you to do any kinds of dance following their "new modern beats" on that time and groovy techno tracks like Blocks on Blocks, Tar, Malpaso Man and Moon over Moscow or Fade to Grey which having the distincive bass-lines and electronic drum beats so intense like the next footsteps for Krautrock or Devo-ism version from United Kingdom's semi-illegal underground movements hailing David Bowie and mixing it with Dub-Electro or cold deadfloor club community on Visage the debut album. You can hear the complexity of the mixes of machinery beats with saxophone or funny keyboards play to the monotonous music with a very romantic love lyrics based on Goth-Rock appreciation. Visage would also spawning some of its member's name for being the next important figures for this type of up-beat music from guitarist Midge Ure John McGeoch (guitars) to drummer Rutsy Egan - flawlessly, didn't care if the public would liking their music but as the time is right and the era is obsessively bored with raw materials, New Romantic just popping up to the surface as a great choice for some die-hard idealists on either being mods, hip or pale and leathered in spikey hair and dark outfit or stop consuming normality of social values.
