Visage - "The Anvil"



I discovered this record in the dollar bin a few years back. I picked it up based on the cover art. It just looked dark and new wavey, so I had to try it out. I put it on the turntable when I got home and lo and behold, it WAS dark and new wavey. I fell in love with this song, and did a bit of research on them. Turns out, Visage has consisted off and on of members of Ultravox (one of my favorites), Magazine, Siouxsie and the Banshees and more. This album also reached #6 on the UK charts when it was released in 1982. It's always great when you can find out something new and amazing while digging for records. I haven't done it for quite some time, but I think I'm going to start again.

Visage is quite a good band. My fave is Fade to Grey, which at the time was also dark and quite sexy for pop music. It was a hit in the U.K. but not so in the U.S. However, it has been remixed by several DJ's and to date it still sounds great.
