◇ image via WikipediaVisage
Visage is a Synth-pop act. Their sound grew out of Rich Kids, Godley & Creme, Jones, Radio-Activity and David Bowie. Those roots explain a lot about how Visage arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Ultravox, Propaganda, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, ABC and Bronski Beat, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Exhumed, Johnny Hates Jazz, X-Perience, Nick Kamen and Ron Hardy, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 31 connections around Visage, reaching back through Rich Kids and forward to Exhumed.
