Ultravox are among the key bands of the late 1970s and 1980s new wave movement, known for merging rock instrumentation with innovative synthesizer work and a strong sense of style and drama. Fronted in their most famous phase by Midge Ure, the group helped shape the sound of the emerging synth-pop era and influenced countless acts that followed. They achieved international recognition with striking singles and atmospheric albums that balanced pop accessibility with artistic ambition, and they are regularly cited as one of the reference points for electronic rock and synth-driven pop.
The CD is released by Chrysalis, a label that played a central role in the development of rock, pop and new wave from the 1970s onwards. Chrysalis is known for supporting distinctive artists and bands, giving them room to develop their own identity instead of following short-lived trends.
