4.0 out of 5 stars VOX OF DELIGHTS, 15 Aug 2008
A Kid's Review
Another well-chosen selection of some of ULTRAVOX's best songs. VIENNA remains the benchmark album and saw the arrival of MIDGE URE (so if you only own one complete Ultravox recording, make it that one). There's no doubt that his keen pop sensibility and impressive vocal range steered the band away from their previous Kraftwerkian experimentalism, infusing it instead with a warmth and depth that lasted for several more years.

It's not just Ure that should be praised either, original members BILLY CURRIE, WARREN CANN and CRISS CROSS were just as instrumental in creating that unique (and much-imitated) sound. A sound that, at the time, was a revelation. Given the more avant-garde nature of the band up to that point, who could seriously have predicted or imagined something as beautiful and evocative as a violin solo providing the beating heart within their best-selling single 'Vienna'? Not me.

I'm not belittling the JOHN FOXX era, but the point at which the music started touching people's emotions began, ironically, with a lyric that included the line "it means nothing to me". Far, far from it.

A seductive combination of the subtle and intense (VIENNA, DANCING WITH TEARS IN MY EYES) and the lofty and bombastic (REAP THE WILD WIND, LOVE'S GREAT ADVENTURE)...yet the result is never less than engaging. This collection may not be quite up there with THE BEST OF ULTRAVOX, but it's not far off and, as such, remains a solid buy.


HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

5.0 out of 5 stars Ultravox - the collection, 26 Jan 2005
By A Customer
This is a great album of their greatest hits - I prefer this album rather than other hits albums available by the band - it includes One Small Day - which is great song. Includes the favourites Vienna, Dancing with Tears in my eyes, Hymn.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Stuff, 8 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This album is ideal for any fans of music of the 80's but have not yet come across Ultravox as it contains all the major hits. Vienna still is one of the best tracks of the 80's. The enigmatic but simple drum beat at the start sets the scene for the rest of the track. Mystery, atmosphere, power and a great tune - Vienna has it all. Other stand out tracks include Love's Great Adventure and Reap The Wild Wind.
