Year: 1977 Tracks: 9 Rejecting the harsh guitars of their punk-era generation in favour of lushly romantic synthesizers, Ultravox emerged as one of the basal influences on the British electro-pop movement of the early '80s. Formed in London in 1974, the group -- originally dubbed Ultravox! -- was light-emitting diode by singer and keyboardist John Foxx (born Dennis Leigh), whose stake in synths and knife edge engineering began during his school eld; with an initial line up consisting of bassist Chris Cross, keyboardist/violinist Billy Currie, guitar player Steve Shears and drummer Warren Cann, their obvious fondness for the glam rock profound of David Bowie and Roxy Music brought them small deference from audiences caught up in the growing fire of punk, only in 1977 Island Records signed the quintet anyway, with Brian Eno agreeing to produce their self-titled debut LP. Later on grading a minor UK hit with the unmarried "My Sex," Ultravox returned later on that year with Ha! Ha! Ha!; sales were minimal, however, and Shears before long exited, replaced by guitarist Robin Simon. A tierce LP, 1978's Systems of Romance, was recorded in Germany with renowned manufacturer Conrad Plank, but it also failed commercially; Island before long dropped the band, at which time both Foxx and Simon relinquish, the old climbing a solo life history and the latter connexion Magazine. At that point the remaining members of Ultravox tapped singer/guitarist Midge Ure, an grad of Silk as intimately as Glen Matlock's Rich Kids; upon signing to Chrysalis, the new line up recorded Vienna, grading a surprisal smash strike with the single "Somnambulate," which reached the number two spot on the UK pop charts in 1981 and pushed the LP into the Top Five. Later on 1981's Rage in Eden, Ultravox teamed with legendary manufacturer George Martin for 1983's Foursome; their most successful LP in the otherwise impenetrable American securities industry, it launched the minor make "Reap the Wild Wind." Upon completing 1984's Plaint, Warren Cann left Ultravox to spirt a solo calling. The unexpended members, adding Big Country's Mark Brzezicki, resurfaced with U-Vox in 1986 before going away their fork ways. Currie and Simon reformed the band as U-Vox in 1993, adding vocaliser Marcus O'Higgins; ternary age later, they released the lacklustre Ingeniousness. |
