The initial premise of Ultravox came from the 70s school of
electro-rock from pioneers Kraftwerk and the glam rock of
Brian Eno and Roxy Music. Formed in 1974, initially as
Tiger Lily, the early line-up comprised Royal College Of

Review about Ultravox First two albums | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About artist/band Ultravox

------ About the song Vienna performed by Ultravox
A timeless classic. Operatic in performance, perfection in execution. What more can be said about Midge Ure's vocalistic excellence in what can only be described as one of the 80's signature melodies. Hang your head in shame Joe Dolce!
this song is particularly memorable and haunting,not the typical poppy syth type of music most popular with u-vox fans but truly a standout !
fantastic | Reviewer: diana

I absolutely agree with you Anon. I felt the same way you described when i first heard this years ago, & still feel it whenever i listen. This song is a masterpeice.
A wonderfull,Dark and Haunting song.Although slightly repetitive the song is pure and simple enough to keep the sombre mood of what the song is about.I Remember(Death in the Afternoon)

------ About the song Vienna performed by Ultravox
I'v just been introduced to this song. There was a shiver down my spine when I first heard the chorus. absolutely amaizing vocals and very good lyrics. I'd say it is one of the best -genuinely- songs i've ever heard! And i'm not a fan of ultravox
