Some great music from the 80s, no.35

Ultravox, Vienna

Ultravox's signature hit is a wonderfully atmospheric slow electro-driven mood piece. With its crescendos & quiet sections, marrying electronics & acoustic piano, it combines a pop sensibility with (a quiet) avant-gardism, drawing from contemporary electronic music. And if you detect the influence of Kraftwerk in the later up-tempo section, then you'd be right. The sound of 1981 summed up in less than 5mins
