Vancouver's Images in Vogue came together in 1981 with synthesizers firmly in the driver's seat: Joe Vizvary and Glen Nelson both on synths, Dale Martindale singing, Don Gordon on guitar, Gary Smith on bass and Kevin Crompton on percussion. Crompton would later make his name as cEvin Key in Skinny Puppy, and Gordon went on to Numb. Their manager, Kim Clarke Champniss, later became a MuchMusic VJ.
The records were cool, stylish new wave, released through Anthem and Warner Music Canada: a self-titled EP in 1983 with "Lust for Love", the Rituals EP in 1984 with "Call It Love", and finally a full-length, The Spell, in 1988, home of "Strangers". Martindale, Vizvary and Nelson are still carrying the name.
