Visage- new song "In The Dark"
Posted: Wed Nov 01, 2006 4:30 amI've heard the new Visage song a few times, and I would say it gets an A for effort, but hasn't quite grabbed me...yet.
It is very electro, and similar in style to songs from The Anvil (not Beat Boy).
Here's what the wikipedia has to say abou Visage after it's first incarnation dissolved:
"Second incarnation (2004-)
Steve Strange reappeared in the music scene in 2002, after several years fighting with his heroin addiction. Strange performed several Visage songs on the "Here and Now Xmas Tour" — a revival of 1980s musicians. Some time after the performance; and noting he still had a fanbase, Steve decided to relaunch what he calls a "mark II" of the band with people from several electronic bands and projects: Steven Young, Sandrine Gouriou and Rosie Harris from Seize and Ross Tregenza from Jetstream Lovers/Goteki. After the announcement of the formation of the new lineup, the plans of reworking old material, releasing a new record and remixing songs for the likes of Kelly Osbourne have yet to be realised (as of October, 2006). The long-deleted "Visage Videos" VHS have been re-released in DVD in Summer, 2006. Steve Strange recorded the first Visage's "mark II" original composition, named "In the Dark" as part of electronic music duo Punx Soundcheck's debut double album "When Machines Ruled the World". The album was released in Europe in fall 2006."
