Orchestral is the fifth studio album by the British pop group Visage, released on 8 December 2014. It is an album of twelve songs (eleven from the band's back catalogue and one new song), rerecorded with a symphony orchestra.

An orchestral version of the band's seminal hit, "Fade To Grey", was released as a single in November 2014 ahead of the album.

History

In March 2014, after a year promoting their previous album, Hearts and Knives, Visage were invited to appear at the closing ceremony of the World Ski Jumping Championships in Prague. They were backed by the Czech Synthosymphonica Orchestra, headed by Armin Effenberger, whose speciality is mixing classical music arrangements and full orchestras with classic synthesizer music. At the ceremony, Visage performed a ten-song set of their hits with the full orchestra.[1] The album also contains tracks recorded with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.
