The reason Ultravox songs are so memorable is scientific - Midge Ure knew what he was doing. We remember pictures and shapes much more easily than words, and Ultravox songs are cram-packed with imagery, you can almost feel them. Just think back to the first couple of lines in Vienna, and you are 'in' the song, it's like you're there, so it becomes an experience, not just a tune... 😌👍

Been re-listening to 80s music recently after many years and a long musical evolution, and how good they sounded... The production was a bit tinny at times but the music was great and it brings back such good memories. Its good to see these fellas still playing and making an honest living. I loved Simpleminds and Ultravox but also Classix Nouveaux, Duran Duran, Toyah, Kate Bush, Japan, Soft Cell, Bauhaus, Joy Division, Stranglers, Clash, U2, Siouxsie, and many other....

It's only tinny if you're listening on rubbish equipment. Get some decent speakers/headphones, tweak the EQ, and it'll sound way better than any modern remaster. Mastering engineers actually knew what they were doing back then. Also, because the music isn't compressed to the nuts, you can crank the volume as much as you want, and it'll never sound too loud.

Jim Kerr is not arrogant there in the slightest. He is engaging and humorous, unlike Midge who could never be accused of being particularly interesting.

Good luck with that. With our proud history, and with the fact that fossil fuels have a limited shelf-life, it's a short term nationalistic band aid for jingoistic Scotsman. I think, as an Englishman, and with Irish heritage, that our people should unite, as we would do in a war, or in the face of adversity. I have nothing against independence, only I think it is short term. As a United Kingdom, as some may call it, we have a rich, and shared cultural heritage, whether it be at war or peace. The fact remains, we have more in common, than for example the Norwegians. They would never laugh at Rab. C. Nesbitt!

+charliechutney Yeah true. It suggests that while they both have respect for each other as singers, and both obviously respect the other's band, in terms of being proper mates......no, probably not............which explains the long pause both gave when asked this question. By this I don't mean that they can't stand each other, but they obviously have different musical tastes, and have different approaches to being lead singer. Kerr is the classic charismatic showman who loves to draw you (the audience) towards him, while Ure is more restrained and less likely to throw himself into the crowd or jump about on the stage. He's a singer, whereas Kerr is an entertainer aswell as a singer. Not saying this is better, but it's the difference between the two. Both have great voices but you can't really compare them. Kerr is more similar to Bono, or Freddie Mercury...or even Jarvis Cocker - theatrical, while Ure is more like Sting, or Paul Weller who let their voice do all the work without the need for additional theatricality.

Ultravox had been an adventurous, experimental band under John Foxx. They went pop when Midge Ure joined, understandable as they were desperate for commercial success. Unfortunately, it meant the band that gave us Hiroshima Mon Amour and Dislocation were then offering K-tel pop like Love's Great Adventure. But then, they were not really the same band.

Good for you, ferrers88. I used to wonder whether they should have changed their name when reforming with Midge Ure, as the remaining members of Joy Division had done post Ian Curtis. But the Ultravox name was just starting to gain momentum so I don't blame them for building on that. For the record, I do think Vienna is a very accomplished album, and made for a good "first" album, just was not keen on what followed.
