#NowPlaying: #Ultravox - ha!-ha!-ha!
1979 Italian pressing.
I really liked ROckwrok and the Three Into One compilation so I knew that I wanted to find some of those early albums, and I was lucky this week that I found it at a #vinyl market. (I did get ripped off at this stall where I bought the Police album too. Expensive but bad quality media and sleeve.) I really like this upbeat punky music, drums are in your face, guitars are soaring. The songs are really catchy too!

#NowPlaying: #Ultravox - Vienna
1980 Dutch pressing.
The cover promised me a more pensive, calm album than what I'm hearing now. I do quite like it: it seems clean, powerful, and dark. The cover is a thing of beauty, that font looks brilliant as well! I heard a lot about this album so it's great to finally give it a go.

Had a stream of this last night via #qobuz #ultravox Systems Of Romance. Final LP with John Foxx. They hit a sweet spot on this one, good songwriting, epic synth sounds from Billy Currie and some strong guitar from Robin Simon. Conny Plank however brought it all together with his tasty production that continued into their Midge Ure led period. Need a #vinyl copy
Ultravox - Ultravox!
Gotta say, I just had never listened to pre-Midge Ure Ultravox. When I listened to the Steve Lillywhite feature (mentioned previously), he indicated he'd produced this LP - and indeed, he did, along with Brian Eno.
The album flopped…as did all the pre-Ure ones…but it's actually quite good. But the single, "Dangerous Rhythms”, is pretty weak, and it loses some steam after…

Big fan of #ultravox (Midge Ure era) and saw them a few times. Sadly didn’t make it to their 2009 reunion tour but fortunately there is a very fine recording from the #roundhouse in #london. Full of their hits and delivered with class even after 20+ yrs since their last tour together
#NowPlaying: #ultravox - Three Into One
1980 German pressing.
When I put this on the first time I was met with some heavy punk rock, which is not what I expected. I hadn't listened to Ultravox before, but I know I expected refined synth pop. Granted: this is a compilation album from their very early, punkier, years. I quite like the sound of this, and certainly will be looking into more Ultravox later on.

#NowPlaying #AmListening #Ultravox Live at Hammersmith Odeon 1982. Maybe a new hashtag #NewWaveMonday is in order. But I listen to at least a little new wave most days. #ChildOfThe80s

Had an incredible record haul yesterday! Only to the last two in the picture had I ever listened before, and the one in the middle below I had been looking for for months (albeit on CD).
I hope with the following hashtags this will reach the right audience so that I know who to follow! 😎

According to lead singer Midge Ure, the lyrics were inspired by the Nevil Shute book On the Beach, which is about a group of people in Australia awaiting nuclear radiation stemming from a nuclear war in the Northern Hemisphere.
"They knew it was the end but they had time to think about how they wanted to choose their final moments", Ure stated
