Visage Mind Of A Toy 1980 Unbeaten New Romantic song and video of 1980 Taken from the 3CD compilation Welcome To The Robots - Volume 2 (Mind Of A Toy - Dance Mix) [https://itunes.apple/de/album/welcome-to-robots-vol.-2-synthie/id703370473] [amazon.de/Welcome-Robots-Vol-2-Various/dp/B00EMAGGX4/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1409049476&sr=1-2-fkmr0&keywords=welcome+to+the+robots+volume+2] Pioneers of the New Romantic movement, the synth pop group Visage emerged in 1978 from the London club Blitz, a neo-glam nightspot which stood in stark contrast to the prevailing punk mentality of the moment. Spearheading Blitzs ultra-chic clientele were Steve Strange and DJ Rusty Egan, one time drummer with the Rich Kids. Seeking to record music of their own to fit in with the clubs regular playlist (a steady diet of David Bowie, Kraftwerk, and Roxy Music). Strange and Egan were offered studio time by another Rich Kids alum, guitarist Midge Ure. In late 1978, this trio recorded a demo which yielded the first Visage single, an aptly futuristic cover of Zager & Evans In the Year 2525.
