Visage is synth-pop project formed in 1978 and also enlightening a new style of music known as “new romantic”. Their 1980 self-titled project contained their mystic-synth hit “Fade To Grey” which gave them a following for the new 80s sound and adaption using elements of the disco era. A flattened arrangement where keyboards and sequencers replaced drums, guitars and percussion. This track plays out with a heavy rolling synthesizer which brings us warmth and reminder of how breaking down elements which were used in the disco perfection of the late 70s heavily influenced new artists as it still does today.
I have taken the 12” version of “Fade To Grey” and focused on the underground feel of the song and added a drum track from another project from Midge Ure to give the intro and foundation more pump. The ghostly vocals and eerie keyboards still tell this story and this ReStructure Mix simply adds a new chapter.
