Ultravox
Although Midge Ure was mentioned, we forgot
to mention Ultravox in our growing list . |

Oh! I could talk about Ultravox for hours. They were among the pioneers of synthpop. And they composed some of the most classical 80' hits: Hymn, Vienna, Visions in blue, Dancing with tears in my eyes, the voice... just to mention a few.

Dancing with Tears In My Eyes, Is definately my favourite Ultravox song, I remember seeing the video when I was a teen and it freaked me out a bit, It had that "The Day After" theme to it, Pretty spooky

The maxi version of "Dancing with tears in my eyes" is really good by the way...

Ultravox are one of my favourite bands, and they have been since I saw Dancing with tears in my eyes on a Swedish TV-program, called "Bagen" (which also was the program where I saw Alphaville the first time!).
There are mainly 3 different Ultravox you can speak about: 1. In the 70:s with John Foxx as the singer 2. In the 80:s with Midge Ure as the singer 3. In the 90:s when only Billie Currie was left from the original group I can´t say I like (1) at all, only Hiroshima mon amour was quite good. And (3) is not either really what I like, though they have made some good songs (like Ingenuity and The new frontiers). The Ultravox you have been writing about above is (2), which also is the Ultravox I like! My favourites are: Visions in blue Vienna Dancing with tears in my eyes Hymn The voice Reap the wild wind New Europeans A friend I call desire Mine for life White china |

Those are really great songs you mentioned there, Andreas.
To me there are only one true Ultravox band. The one with Midge Ure. |

What happened to the subject about Midge Ure? I can not longer find it.
Therefore I express my thoughts about that subject here instead: Late last year his latest album came out. When I heard it the first time I was a bit disappointed, but the songs grew when you listen to them more. And as David wrote, it is an album worth listening to. In my opinion Midge´s best album is his first, from 1985, which includes the hit "If I was". That is also the album which is closest to the Ultravox sound. Here are some favourites by him: Call of the wild Fields of fire Rising If I was She cried Hands around my heart When the wind blows Guns & arrows |

@Poul: Maybe the title of this topic could be changed so there won't be any more confusions (?) If you search for Ultravox, there is only rutgerhauer topic listed [boggled]
