Biography

Ultravox is a British New Wave rock band. They were one of the primary exponents of the British electronic pop music movement of the late 1970s/early 1980s. The band was particularly associated with the New Romantic and New Wave movements.

This band was effectively led by two different individuals in its career, two frontmen who, curiously, never played together in the band at the same ... Read more in Amazon's Ultravox Store

Product Description

Product Description

Brilliant is the first album of new material in three decades from the classic line-up of seminal electro pioneers Ultravox. Emerging from the new wave and electro scenes of the late 70’s, Ultravox fashioned a form of electronic rock music that delivered massive hits through the 1980’s such as "Hymn", "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes", "The Voice", "Reap The Wild Wind", "Love’s Great Adventure", "We Came To Dance" and of course "Vienna".

Uncut – August 2012

“ This first new album in 28 years picks up where they left off – in grand boulevards, sweeping choruses and cod-classical keyboard fanfares.”

5.0 out of 5 stars The boys are back!!! 29 May 2012
By Rob C
Format:Audio CD
Incredible but true ULTRAVOX really are back and how good it is to hear them again!! Of course when I heard they were putting a new album together I had doubts they could scale the heights of their heyday but incredibly they really have delivered the goods after what seems a lifetime ago!
Live is the highlight and one of their best songs ever, closely followed by lie and the rousing satellite which begs you to test your speakers to the max! Of course not every track blows you away instantly but if you listen and let them grow you will find that the real Ultravox are back, lets hope they stick around!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply "Brill" 28 May 2012
By Si Wolf
Format:MP3 Download|Amazon Verified Purchase
Just downloaded the first studio album in 28 years from Ultravox and what sheer bliss to rediscover the lads albeit a lot older but the classic sound remains but with a more modern interface. Absolutely love the arrangement of all the tracks it puts the faith back into what is now a weary ordinary music scene the power and the glory of "Life,Flow,Brilliant,Change & Lie" will in time rank alongside their superb back catologue all I can ask is dont wait as long next time lads simply "Brilliant" so excited roll on the tour in September !!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Sound is Back 11 July 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I first heard this group back in 1980 with `Sleepwalk` from the album `Vienna` on top of the pops and i knew then they were something special. This is fabulous, best album i have heard since `Quartet` back in the eighties. For me the best songs on this are LIVE, FLOW, BRILLIANT, CHANGE, RISE & SATELLITE. But for me the best of the lot is FLOW absolutely tremendous. Wonderful vocals fabulous production. How the critics can slate this is beyond me, it is a million miles better than some of the tripe around today. Keep up the good work lads and lets have another one out a bit quicker than 28 years!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars unique rennaisance of the unsung greats 4 July 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This really is a unique moment in popular music history. for such an influential band to reconvene and produce something of such quality is astounding. so many wonderful tracks are here...rise and change are favourites along with live, brilliant, remembering, hello and satellite...really up there with the vienna and rage in eden/ lament era..i would normally have given this four stars - as the original output of the band up and until lament earns five but due to this unique accomplishent and after it being so long - i think this deserves full marks. it is superior to uvox mainly due to canns involvement (though i always thought ure's the gift lp was very ultravox-more than uvox!). i really recommend this album -it is proof that even in these days of an inept music industry something amazing can still happen...bravo!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent 27 Jun 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
There are some real stand out tracks on this album. I particularly like hello... It even has quite a poigniant message.
Live, flow and brilliant are very good along with lie and satellite. not sure about the other tracks as i haven't listened to it enough. would defineatly recommend buying it on the strength of these tracks alone they are very catchy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A worthy addition to their work 24 Jun 2012
By Arnold
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is certainly no tired retread by old guys going through the motions. There is genuine energy here, and real commitment too: `Live' gets it all going with rousing piano, guitar and chorus, and `Rise', `Satellite' and `Lie' are all intriguing and memorable examples of their up-tempo work. `Flow' marries interesting percussion and guitar with stand-out vocals, a combination that gives way to a raucous synthesiser crescendo, while `Change' is mellower but is a memorable melody. `Hello' is where the synthesiser - guitar combination goes truly berserk in classic fashion, and is also an example of a song which grows convincingly on you the more you listen. And this is a real strength of the group for me: the songs throughout their work, from `Vienna' up to the present, reveal hidden depths even after years of listening, and there are few artists who manage that in my opinion. The real highlights of the album may however be the slower, more reflective songs: there is real emotion and poignancy in `One', `Contact' and `Remembering'. The latter in particular is truly moving in its examination of grief.

So this is an album that is energetic, demonstrating the renewed joy and chemistry of recording together again after so long, but also reflective and thoughtful. It saddens me that it hasn't so far had the sales that it deserves, partly as a result of the prejudice of reviewers in the press who seek to find fault rather than to recognise what quality is evident. I suppose it was unrealistic to expect a huge audience after nearly thirty years, but if you like your music well thought out, memorable and skilfully sung and played, you need look no further.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brill 1 Jun 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Having been an Ultravox fan since the 80s I hung onto Vienna as an album to keep returning to.
Seeing Ultravox live twice over the last couple of years has ingnited a new passion for what can only be described as 'true' music and the anticipation of a new album was the dawn of a new era in my musical interests.
Having played the album through a few times - always through headphones,in car and through hi fi speakers I can honestly say it is a superb piece of work.
Traits of the work they have done previously is very evident such as the drum work on Satellite which echoes Sleepwalk. What is great is the band can still write and deliver music to such a high standard and then perform it live to appreciating audiences.
It would have been good to have had an instrumental track with the driving Ultravox beat - I'm thinking of Astradyne but then I want the world. I've got to admit I'm a fussy listener and regularly put an album in the tray only to turn it off again. This album will remain on my playlist until well after and beyond I see Ultravox on tour later this year.
Looking forward to hearing this new material performed live in their set.
All in all an excellent production and one that deserves recognition for the work that has gone into it.
Well done lads, really like it. Keep the writing coming as you have much more to offer.
