Ingenuity (1994)


This was (besides Duran Duran) my favorite new wave band of the 80's,even though Ultravox has albums in the 70's, and I have them all.

This is one band I never got to see and never will. I would rather see Ultravox today than The Cars with a new singer.

Re: Ultravox

My old school friend loved them, he used to buy everything they did, because they released everything on different formats. I have a best of and my favourite track from the Midge Ure era is, " Sleepwalk"

Re: Ultravox

ULTRAVOX were a superb band. Loved them from day one with their roxy/bowiesque style...iwant to be a machine...[ i know how you feel mr foxx!] 2nd album " hahaha...i loved at first..energetic electropunk then by systems of romance...THEY HAD ARRIVED!! Midge Ure took over from John Foxx the VIENNA album is a classic...but they slowly went downhill from there.... John Foxx made some great records his album " the garden" is reminicent of classic Ultravox and is brilliant

Re: Ultravox

The Vienna album is fantastic. Play it loud. Midge Ure said 'Ultravox is a rock band' and he was right. He was also a member of Rich Kids who were pretty good too.

The single, Sleepwalk, is my favourite.
