I have a vinil U-VOX (1986) with all signatures from them, a english friend give to me when i was living in Oxford 1998. I still listen Ultravox ! They are brilliant ! Thanks for post !!
I met the producer of "Quartet" George Martin's son the other day and although he was a child when his father produced this record with UVOX back in '82, he remembers how "funny and cool Midge, Chris and Billy were", but that "Warren" was too "seroius" for his liking.
My top 10 list. 1.Vienna 2.I Remember [Death In The Afternoon] 3.We Stand Alone 4.The Thin Wall 5.All Stood Still 6.Passing Strangers 7.Cut And Run 8.Hymn 9.Stranger Within 10.Lament
@BitAnBobs I agree I don't think the music is live because Chris is playing a Bass guitar in the vid but the actual bassline is a synth. For years I thought they played this when I saw the in NYC in 1983 but I think I mixed this up with 'When The Scream Subsides' which they did do on that tour. Still its cool because this is the only live vocal I've ever heard for Serenade. Great find!
Супер музыкальная группа! редкость! решения композиций чисто свои, ни с кем не сравнимые! вокал- вообще, отлет на все 360 градусов! молодцы! я вас люблю с самого 1982 года!
Just come across this today, been listening to Ultravox for years via greatest hits etc, I was only six when Vienna was in the charts and the Quartet Album passed me by, just bought it online after hearing this cracking track. Thanks for posting.
If U-vox music lacks depth then the Mariana Trench lacks depth too if you know what I mean. I love U-vox, Midge is my No 1 and I'm seeing him live soon :)
Don't know how many of you are on the official ultrvox forum but there's a brilliant tribute band who do great covers of both I remember (death in the afternoon) and We stand alone! AWSOME! monument they're called. Just google ultravox tribute
@ingenious4t Thanks for this. just got in to Ultravox. always loved synth music but never delved deeper than the track vienna really? Can you recommend an album of theirs for me. I tend to like the ballad, slower stuff most like visions... and lament. I am already buying lament. Well done again, many thanks
@blitzspeer I think for the Quartet album you have a point. The production (by George Martin of Beatles fame IIRC) was lacking in bass. That wasn't a problem on the two previous albums or the following ones.
