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.”Product Description

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!!

Like a lot of people I was both excited and scared when new material was announced. After the first listen I could recognise bits of Ultravox of old but wasn't totally convinced. However there isn't a single Ultravox LP I ever owned where I loved it on first listening so that didn't faze me. Thankfully the same applies here. If you ever liked Ultravox buy this album and make sure you give it a few listens before you pass judgement. It's stunning and will take you right back in time, whilst also making you look forward.That's some trick, but then it's some band.

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 !!!

Christmas present!
Bought this for my brother who can remember them the first time round. He saw them in concert recently and loved their new stuff so thought I'd buy it. He likes it.

Definately Ultravox
I was a huge fan in the 1980's, and saw this band go off the boil and dissipate, but now they're back. Read more

Less Brillliant
I am not an Ultravox Fan really just like some of their music sounds so one album should have been enough for me

Still have the Ultravox sound
I heard a track on Radio 2 and thought to myself, that it sounded very like Ultravox. Blow me, it was!!!
Bought the album and apart from two tracks, it's a really good album.
