I was unsure of what to expect but found it to be a very pleasant surprise!! It has perfectly captured the original sound of Visage. I thoroughly enjoyed this album although I do concede that the tracks are a touch 'soulless'. Throughout my late teens and early twenties I was CRAZY for synthpop and have always had a soft spot for it.
Seriously? That's pretty cool. I think I made it clear in my review though that I'm not saying Visage are a bad band, just their particular brand of what I'd call soulless electronica is not for me. Mind you, I was pleasantly surprised (eventually) with how rounded Gary Numan's music turned out to be...
