Midge Ure years: 1979–1987 [ edit ] Midge Ure in concert, Oslo November 1981 Ure in concert, April 1984 Gary Numan has stated that the original 1970s-era Ultravox was the most important influence on his music. [24] Ultravox was also a major influence on early Simple Minds [25] and Duran Duran. [26] Filename Z:\OdW\Ultravox\1977 - Ha! Ha! Ha! (74321 11292 2)\Ultravox! - Ha! Ha! Ha!

[5] He said in 1983 in the Monument video: "They are without a doubt the most musical group I have come across in recent years."

There is a 'kind of' live version of Serenade on YouTube, it's from a TV show and is live vocals over the album recording music, i think the program was called 'Getting set' or something like that. A 7-disc box set was released in July 2023, consisting of a 1982 analog master, a new Steve Wilson remix, plus discs containing rehearsals, b-sides and a Hammersmith Odeon show from 1982. A surround mix was included on DVD. The instrumental mix was not included, but it was mentioned online that that usually follows on a separate CD.The keyboards/pianos are razor sharp, as are the vocals - not only Midge's but frankly, it's more obvious here that the other boys were filling in quite a lot. There iscrowd noise and i does not sound like a studio take at all, it is very live indeed, but where Monument is monumentally :) reverbarting the crowd, and not like you were in the crowd, cause that would sound specifically different, but the new mastering rather delivers what believably is how the music actually sounded, with all quirks present, apart from a staggering and thunderous meltpot experience, maybe?

By this time, Billy Currie had been recruited by the rising star Gary Numan in 1979 to do a performance at The Old Grey Whistle Test show with his band Tubeway Army. Numan had been a fan of Ultravox and Currie was also asked to play on Numan's début solo album, The Pleasure Principle, and its subsequent tour. Warren Cann went to work for Zaine Griff, while Chris Cross did some shows with James Honeyman-Scott (of The Pretenders) and Barrie Masters (from Eddie and the Hot Rods).Yeah, I have read over the years about the Japan album being heavily overdubbed, ridiculously so, it seems. Both picdisc65 and AloneWithStrangers makes interesting comments on this fact, but it still hasn't been validated as of the exact reasons behind this or when the different UK 12" where released, simultaneously or at different dates.
