 Ultravox
Comments about Ultravox:
Ultravox were
founders and part of the golden era of synth pop back in the early '80's. The heavy mix of
synthesizers and guitars gave them a unique sound. The band was also a tight unit of four
personalities which were all needed to create the magic. Once that unit started falling
apart, Ultravox lost what made them so special and soon became relatively ordinary. But if
you're into synth pop, do yourself the favour and dig into history and a band that really
marked the '80's and influenced way beyond... Le Mec
"Rejecting
the abrasive guitars of their punk-era contemporaries in favor of lushly romantic
synthesizers, Ultravox emerged as one of the primary influences on the British electro-pop
movement of the early 1980s." Jason Ankeny, All-Music
