Based in Scotland, MONUMENT now has official status after being endorsed by former members of Ultravox : Midge Ure, Billy Currie, Warren Cann and Chris Cross. Read Full Biography. Disc four is comprised of rehearsals recorded to cassette in 1979 and 80. Listening back to Vienna, it seems to straddle a line between 80s pop and something perhaps more credible. Island dropped the three Ultravox albums from its catalogue, and released a compilation of highlights from the group's first three albums in 1980, called Three into One. At this time, Ure also co-wrote and helped produce the 1984 Band Aid single "Do They Know It's Christmas?".
Encouraged by Visage drummer and mutual friend Rusty Egan, Currie asked Ure to join Ultravox. The Collection went triple Platinum and reached No. Their sound had moved on from their early foundations and had keyboards moved very much to the foreground. 12 and "Hymn" No.
Foxx subsequently signed to Virgin Records and released his album Metamatic in January 1980. Famously, despite all this ubiquity, Vienna never hit the number one spot, but was kept at number two for four weeks, three of those playing second fiddle to Joe Dolce’s risible Shaddap You Face. Where some bands are content to remain on the fringes producing leftfield music, Ultravox seem always to have wanted to be stars. The band's best-known line-up of Currie, Ure, bassist Chris Cross and drummer Warren Cann reformed in 2008 and performed a series of reunion shows in 2009 and 2010 before releasing a new studio album, Brill!ant, in May 2012 which reached 21 in the British Album Charts. 27. It sounds particularly close to 'Mr X' by Ultravox. This year, Vienna turns an incredible 40 years old. One can only imagine the grin on his face when he finished making Vienna itself sound bigger and more irresistibly pompous than ever. BA1 1UA. Although Ha!-Ha!-Ha!

Warren Cann went to work for Zaine Griff, while Chris Cross did some shows with James Honeyman-Scott (of The Pretenders) and Barrie Masters (from Eddie and the Hot Rods). Ha! Billy Currie and Robin Simon reunited in 1989 as the short-lived Humania, performing live shows but never making a release until 2006, the album Sinews of the Soul.
On the strength of the single, the album then re-entered the chart and reached No. Whereas the Vienna material had been performed live a great deal prior to a three-week recording process, Rage in Eden took over three months. 6 in the UK and contained four Top 20 hit singles; "Reap the Wild Wind" reaching No. The new line-up performed live at the Reading Festival along with Radio Stars, Penetration, Sham 69, The Pirates and The Jam, playing early versions of "Slow Motion" and "Quiet Men" on 27 August 1978.[7].
Gerade in den 1980er-Jahren sorgten sie im Windschatten des New Romantic-hypes neben Bands wie Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, B-Movie, OMD, Simple Minds als eine der wenigen guten Live-Bands für Furore. 61. You are not logged in. 18 respectively. Meanwhile, New Europeans, Passing Strangers and All Stood Still proved that Ultravox were shoulder-to-shoulder with the new wave/post-punk set and, most importantly, knew how to write a cracking tune. Though largely remaining out of the spotlight, the band members all kept busy after Ultravox ceased trading. Dieser Trend zog sich leider durch alle Platten des Gründungs-Line-Ups: "Ultravox!" An anthology of unreleased Ultravox material was planned in mid-2008, but has not been scheduled for release. Musically, the album was markedly different from Ultravox's earlier work, bringing synthesisers to the forefront of the group's sound.

Originally led by the charismatic, lethally cheekboned John Foxx, the band’s first three albums had drawn in fans of artful and forward-thinking rock. Arguably at the height of their popularity, however, Ultravox then took a break while workaholic Midge Ure co-wrote and helped produce Band Aid’s multi-million-selling charity single ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’, and then scored a major coup when his solo 45 ‘If I Was’ topped the UK charts in 1985. He released the beautifully crafted Fragile during 2014 and in 2016 embarked on the extensive 80s Invasion UK Tour, sharing the bill with Big Country, Nick Heyward and Curiosity Killed The Cat. Altogether, the box set of Vienna provides many happy hours for Ultravox fans. Ha! 30 in 1986, with "All in One Day" reaching only No. 22) and "One Small Day" peaking at No. 15 and No.

A new Leeds 02 Academy date has been announced as the first date for Peter Hook & The Light’s “Joy Division : A Celebration” concerts which are now scheduled for January 2022. Their third album, 1978's Systems of Romance, was recorded with producer Conny Plank (the producer of German electronic outfit Kraftwerk) and engineer Dave Hutchins at Plank's Studio in rural Germany. Devotees waited with bated breath to see if new recordings would emerge. Musikproduzent und Toningenieur Conny Plank (DAF, Devo, Kraftwerk, Eurythmics, Killing Joke) war federführend bei diesem kühl-atmosphärischen Mix, der als höchst innovativ bezeichnet werden konnte. He brought a much-needed pop sensibility with him, which was reflected in Ultravox’s make-or-break fourth LP, Vienna, their Chrysalis Records debut, released in June 1980. The band was formed in April 1974 on the initiative of vocalist and songwriter Dennis Leigh, a then Royal College of Art student, and was originally known as Tiger Lily. Ultravox returned later in 1977 with the punkier Ha!-Ha!-Ha!. 1977 bekam die Gruppe ihren ersten Plattenvertrag bei Island Records.
Their debut self-titled album was released in 1977 and sounds to these ears like it was written before the onrush of punk, but recorded after it.
A talented vocalist, guitarist and keyboardist, the Lanarkshire-born Ure had already tasted some minor music industry success as he’d sung on studio-bound outfit Slik’s 1976 Top 10 hit ‘Forever And Ever’ and played in former Sex Pistol Glen Matlock’s short-lived new wave supergroup Rich Kids. Formed in London in 1974, the group -- originally dubbed Ultravox! "Hiroshima Mon Amour" remains a critics' and fans' favourite from the group's initial period. On 4 January 2017 Billy Currie announced on his official website that he had decided that his time as a member of Ultravox had come to an end after 43 years.
The tour played at venues across the UK.
Latter-day art rockers under John Foxx, then a major pop success and new romantic influence as synth popsters under Midge Ure. Though another commercial failure, that September’s sublime Systems Of Romance has rightly since been cited as a significant influence on the burgeoning post-punk synth-pop scene. A second single, "Passing Strangers", failed to reach the Top 40, only reaching No. Der Name Ultravox und auch die Namen der Bandmitglieder (John Foxx, Billy Currie, Warren Cann, Chris Cross) werden wohl gerade jüngeren Lesern kaum ein Begriff sein, aber für viele Kinder der 80er zählen sie zu Legenden.
We know, where does the time go!
Dank des Produzenten Stephen Lipson (ZTT, Grace Jones, FGTH, Propaganda, Pet Shop Boys) gelang die Ausführung des Albums, trotzdem blieb insgesamt der Erfolg etwas hinter den Erwartungen zurück.
Both of the record’s two significant hits, the soaring, guitar-driven ‘One Small Day’ and the bombastic, nuclear meltdown-related ‘Dancing With Tears In My Eyes’, were designed to compete with the band’s contemporaries, U2 and Simple Minds, in the mainstream rock arena, while the album’s title cut (also a UK Top 30 hit in June ’84) was a melancholic, Celtic-flavoured ballad. The group had still not finalised their band name, wanting to make a good and lasting choice. But behind the scenes, things were still happening.
In January 1981, Ultravox released the album’s title track as a single. He was replaced by Robert Simon (ex-member of Ian North's Neo), who during his first days with the band changed his performance-name to Robin Simon. This may have seemed to be short-lived however, as 2nd single Passing Strangers stalled at 57 in the charts. Ultravox (earlier stylized as Ultravox!) Musically, Ultravox were heavily influenced by Roxy Music, the New York Dolls, David Bowie and Kraftwerk. 1 solo hit with "If I Was" and his solo album The Gift reached No. Die unterschwellige Kälte, der eindringliche Gesang, perfekt konzipierte Analog-Synthie-Arrangements und ein mitreißender Rhythmus machten den Erfolg von Ultravox bei Musikpresse und Fanbasis aus. It is without doubt an album worthy of revisiting and this tribute is welcomed for giving the album another chance to shine, polished up for the 21st century that Ultravox always seemed to be predicting.
Eventually, Ultravox’s first all-new album for 26 years materialised, when the confidently-titled Brill!ant was released by Chrysalis in May 2012. Though the sessions found the band reuniting with long-time studio collaborator Conny Plank, they were quickly marred when drummer Warren Cann left the band and emigrated to the US.
Ure replicates Robin Simon’s guitar work well, having replaced both him and John Foxx in the band. Herr X, a b side from the Vienna single, and Alles Klar from All Stood Still are cool slices of 80s electro, proof again that b sides can so often contain buried treasure.
Opening track Astradyne starts the album off with a bridge between the old and the new Ultravox, a brooding seven minute epic with keyboards to the fore and a very Ultravox type of guitar solo as the first notable contribution from Ure. During the 90s, Currie slightly contentiously released two albums, Revelation and Ingenuity, under the Ultravox banner, though he was the only original band member to feature on these recordings. Later, the band went through a series of name changes including The Zips, Fire of London, London Soundtrack, and The Damned, using this last name for a few weeks before discovering that another band had already taken it.[2]. Chrysalis issued the band’s first “best of” anthology, The Collection, late that same year.
(the exclamation mark was a reference to krautrock band Neu!, produced by Conny Plank, who later produced three Ultravox albums).
