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

@ChrisMayLA6 occasionally a band will release a record that is truly astounding and reaches a peak that they never achieve again.
For me Vienna was peak Ultravox.

Other opinions are equally valid.

@frantictdrinker @ChrisMayLA6 yet, despite being so good, in the UK it only reached No.2 in the charts - shut up a yer face!
