this album is simply a masterpiece a marvel of music and incredible the emotions that it manages to convey to me i believe that the more great satisfaction in a musician is just to make you feel emotions inside the human soul and something deep that music can unleash after all, all life is made up of emotions in my opinion visage deserve a place of great respect in the world of music and the emotions I feel in listening to their music are incredible a love between a man and a woman can sometimes end and the memories of what it was remain but the music does remain because you only have to listen and if it is able to unleash emotions within the human soul it remains forever as in the case of great visage i am very grateful for this to all the of visage and especially to steve strange dear steve strange i never got to know you in person and i am very sorry for your loss this is my greatest wish i hope to meet the great steve when the time comes that i have to leave this life

Seek out the original UK pressing as the sleeve's finishes were not made on other countires' pressings. One of Peter Saville's yummy designs with Helmut Newton photography. Pure art.
