[15] Cross retired from the music business to become a psychotherapist. [16] Cann later moved to Los Angeles to work in the movie business. Currie and Robin Simon reunited in 1989 as the short-lived Humania, performing live shows, but never making a release until 2006, the album Sinews of the Soul. Most of the album that would become Vienna was ready to record by the time Ultravox signed a new record deal with Chrysalis Records. Vienna, heralded a major change of direction and would become their most successful to date, far surpassing any of the previous Ultravox (or Foxx) albums. As with Systems of Romance, it was produced by Conny Plank.

After three albums produced by Conny Plank, Ultravox dropped their longtime producer. Vocalist/guitarist Midge Ure explained, "It was getting a bit safe. We knew if we recorded with him again it would be great and we'd be really happy. But there would be no excitement." [5] Ultravox teamed up with producer George Martin for 1982's Quartet, which peaked at No.6 in the UK and contained four Top 20 hit singles; " Reap the Wild Wind" reaching No.12 and " Hymn" No.11 both in 1982, and " Visions in Blue" and in 1983 " We Came to Dance" charting at No. 15 and No.18 respectively. It was their most successful album in the US, peaking at No.61. On 6 November 2008 the official announcement came: Warren Cann, Chris Cross, Billy Currie and Midge Ure reformed Ultravox again, for a 15-date UK tour in April 2009, entitled "Return to Eden". [18] This would be the first time the classic line-up of the band had performed together since Live Aid in 1985. The first show was played at Edinburgh Playhouse 10 April 2009. The band did go out of sync in Astradyne and what we are hearing is what was played on the night. Most likely this was something like a stage monitor failure meaning that the band couldn't hear what everyone was playing.Matrix / Runout (Side A, runout, stamped, etched, variant 5): CDL 1394 A // 2 ▽ 420 P 11 16 .NOEL. CDL 1394 A-2 The keyboards/pianos are razor sharp, as are the vocals - not only Midge's but frankly, it's more obvious here that the other boys were filling in quite a lot. There iscrowd noise and i does not sound like a studio take at all, it is very live indeed, but where Monument is monumentally :) reverbarting the crowd, and not like you were in the crowd, cause that would sound specifically different, but the new mastering rather delivers what believably is how the music actually sounded, with all quirks present, apart from a staggering and thunderous meltpot experience, maybe?

Ultravox's 11th studio album, Brill!ant, was released on 28 May 2012. [22] Following this release the band embarked on the 'Brilliant Tour' performing shows across the UK and Europe in late 2012. Their music was played at every party, bush bash, and camp fire you would go to": Fully Completely by The Tragically Hip - Album Of The Week Club review Simpson, George (12 December 2017).

Now, I haven't listened to them yet, but just because they have been remastered, they would technically not be unreleased then, as the exact same live performance was issued before.

Yeah, I have read over the years about the Japan album being heavily overdubbed, ridiculously so, it seems.

It was done at probably the highest level we’d ever worked at. I wasn’t disappointed with the album but I was very disappointed with a certain element that criticised us for using George Martin. They completely misunderstood. They saw it as being safe and conservative and thought we’d sold out by going dull and commercial and we just scratched our heads at that." From 1974 until 1979, singer John Foxx was frontman and the main driving force behind Ultravox. Foxx left the band in March 1979 to embark on a solo career. Midge Ure officially took over as lead singer, guitarist and frontman on 1 November 1979 (despite writing and rehearsing with the band from April of that year) after he and keyboardist Billy Currie worked in the studio project Visage. Ure revitalised the band and steered it to commercial chart success lasting until 1987, at which time the group disbanded.
