Just after their famous "Fade to Grey", Visage recorded a track called "The Steps". I was listening to it for the first time in years (well decades really) and some of it is _so_ familiar but I can't put my finger on where else I have heard it. I don't know whether people sampled this, or used the same synth settings. I am thinking particularly of the metallic "ching" around 37/38 seconds.

Unfortunately this clip has been cut short and I can't find another version on YouTube (not that it matters in this instance). Anyone got any clues as to where else this sound cropped up? Much obliged.

Midge Ure was the brains of the outfit so it may bear some resemblence to later Ultravox
