"Visage" is a compilation EP by the British synth-pop band Visage, released in July 1981 by Polydor Records. The EP features a selection of tracks from the band's self-titled debut album, which was released earlier in 1980. Visage was a pioneering band in the New Romantic movement, blending electronic music with glamorous and stylish imagery.
The EP includes several of Visage's notable tracks, such as "Fade to Grey", which became their most successful single and a classic in the synth-pop genre. Other tracks on the EP include "Mind of a Toy" and "Visage", which showcased the band's innovative use of synthesizers and electronic beats, combined with Steve Strange's distinctive vocals.
Despite being a compilation, the EP played a significant role in solidifying Visage's place in the emerging synth-pop scene of the early 1980s. The band's music and aesthetic influenced many artists and bands that followed, contributing to the broader popularity of synth-pop and New Romanticism during that era.
