I like ultravox they mistakingly get called a "new romantic" group but along with O.M.D and the original HUMAN LEAUGE were never part of that genre..VIENNA RAGE IN EDEN and QUARTET are good albums I'm not a huge midge ure fan solo wise but they contributed to some of the best electropop records of the early 80's

Been revisiting Ultravox recently - Used to listen to them a lot at the same time I started seriously getting into The Stranglers (when I was about 11). Some really good stuff. Some of the non-singles tracks can be a bit lame though.
Is that Midge laying down the guitar on "All Stood Still"? - that's some commendable work indeed on that track. I love how he lets the feedback hang and he riffs off it.

Yeah I was thinking of Mr X - They get a bit comical at times - surely they weren't serious about some of it.

Re: Ultravox
I used to listen to Ultravox's Vienna album a lot in the 80s. Still got it on vinyl in fact, but recently got hold of the CD. The first track, Astradine, is definatelly my favourite on that album, although the bass on the next track - New Europeans - is pretty awsome I think...The Sewer The Sewer wrote:Just bought several old CD's and I found an old fav - Vienna by Ultravox. It's got some corking little tracks on there from yesteryear - In particular, Sleepwalk and Western Promise.
I also got More Specials by The Specials, Anthology by Bad Manners, Night time by Killing Joke, Fossil Fuel by XTC and am awaiting Best of Adam and the Antz - Yes I know, but I liked the early stuff up till Kings of the Wild Frontier
