||||||
| The
debut album that helped set the standard of synth albums to come. Wildly
original and with a strangely paranoid feel to it. Evoking the antiseptic 80s perhaps? |

||||||
| The
last of the John Foxx records,
you can tell he was becoming a little dissatisfied with the group thing
and wanted to go solo. Which is what he did. But he did leave U-Vox with an intriguing album. |

Vienna 1980 Chrysalis Records |
Astradyne New Europeans Private Lives Passing Strangers Sleepwalk |
Mr.
X Western Promise Vienna All Stood Still |
||||||
| Ohhhh,
Vienna . . . . what more needs to be said? THE Ultravox album. If
you don't have this, then you don't have a record collection. It's that good. Oh, and of course it's the first of the Midge years. |

The
Thin Wall Stranger Within Accent On Youth The Ascent Your Name (Has Slipped My ............................ Mind Again) CD Bonus Tracks: I Never Wanted to Begin Paths and Angles I Never Wanted to Begin ............... (Extended Version) |
||||||
| A
solid effort with a couple great singles ('The Thin Wall,' 'The Voice').
Not very commerical, though, and it did nothing to break the band in the US. |

When

||||||
| Great
album, produced by The Beatles'
legendary producer, George Martin. However, there's no bottom end on this. Very tinny. But the songs overcome this oversight. |

Monument 1983 Chrysalis Records |
Monument Reap the Wild Wind Visions in Blue The Voice |
Vienna Passing Strangers Mine for Life Hymn |
||||||
| Apparently,
U-Vox did a film of the 1982
Quartet tour and released it as Monument. This is the soundtrack.
Never saw the movie, and since I never caught Ultravox in concert, I'm dying to find this sucker on VHS or DVD. (Hint, hint!) |

Lament 1984 Chrysalis Records |
White
China One Small Day Dancing with Tears in My Eyes Lament |
Man
of Two Worlds Heart of the Country When the Time Comes A Friend I Call Desire |
||||||
| The
last great Ultravox album! After this, Midge
would be taunted by a solo career and would return for a very mediocre stab at one last U-Vox record. Should've ended it with this one. |

||||||
| For
once, a record company hits it on all cylinders with a greatest hits collection!
EVERYTHING is here from the Midge years, painting a wonderful picture of 80's New Wave. A definite must have. |

Time

||||||
| Weak.
Half-hearted. Actually, just plain sad. Midge must
have been too wrapped up in his burgeoning solo career to fully commit to this mess. Should have quit while they were ahead. |

||||||
| Billy
Currie's first stab at resurrecting U-Vox. If compared to the
back catalog, this one sucks big time. But if you listen to it on its own merits, it's actually not that bad. |

Ingenuity 1994 Resurgence Records |
Ingenuity There Goes a Beautiful World Give It All Back Future Picture Forever The Silent Cries |
Distance Ideals Who'll Save You A Way Out, A Way Through Majestic |
||||||
| Another
stab at resurrecting one of the great 80's New Wave bands by original member,
Billy Currie. He almost succeeds, but Midge Ure's voice is too blatantly missing. |

Future Picture 1995 Receiver Records |
Dancing
with Tears in My Eyes Reap the Wild Wind All Stood Still Slow Motion Distance The Voice Ingenuity Ideals |
Vienna Give It All Back Future Picture Forever The Silent Cries One Small Day Hymn Lament |
||||||
| A
live album taken from the Ingenuity tour. You can't really blame
Billy Currie for trying to keep U-Vox going, but since he's the only original member left, it is kinda sad. And you have to give him credit for going all the way back to the beginning with 'Slow Motion.' Not that this incarnation tarnishes the classic line-ups of U-Vox, it just doesn't do anything to add to the legend. |
