The CS2x had a great rendition of "Fade to Grey" in its demo
bank. Thanks for the video, that woman danced in a weird and
wonderful way.

she's hypnotic.

ultravox - vienna

i had no idea this came from the same place, another
favourite song of mine.

Definitely great stuff! Love the meaning of the song as
well. I double layered it in my second radioshow just to
honour them.

I really love this era in pop music.. it's like the
revolution of the drum machine, isn't it?

Ohhh yeah, pop perfection like all of the best New Romantic
choons.

Nice one! I hadn't ever thought of searching for Visage
Vids.
Uman Thurman's mum is so lovely.

Fade to grey if ok but not in the same league as Ultravox.
Ultravox - Mr X is one of my fav tunes.

Dan, if you're reading this my friend, you're right. Nothing
else on the album comes remotely close. Blocks on Blocks is
fun though.

Awesome, haven't heard this since parts of it were featured
on a 80s compilation CD box commercial many years ago.
Sounds like Ladytron was heavily influenced by it.

Ultravox (both with John Foxx and Midge Ure) and Visage were
brilliant bands.

Billy Curry's classical influence and interest in electronic
instruments made Ultravox.

I love those electronic strings in Mr X, anyone who hasn't
heard it should check it out. You can tell this track had a
heavy influence on Juan Atkins/Cybotron etc.

Mr X / Herr X (for added German-electro appeal) is an
electro classic.

But this is THE best. Watch from 2:28 onwards - this guy was
a true superstar and his dark electronica from 79 still
pisses on most stuff today.

i used to listen to gary numan a lot around the time when i
was 19-20, that brings back memories of my house with
paintings covering every gap of the walls.

John Foxx > Gary Numan

I think John Foxx released 7 CDs last year (not albums, just
CDs, some were double albums). Is that a record?
