I loved how they still use that high pitch bell sound at the beginning in their live concerts ...just as it sounds on here and as axelusul said ,you could skip over this on the Vienna album until you realised on further listening what a gem it is ...ahead of it's time .
@axelusul I bought this as soon as it was released and used to skip this track and listen to the others instead, now, 30 years on, I listen to this one only and skip the others!
I love this track, as a kid at school I played it almost to death, my friends called it 'the milk bottle song', but no one ever said it was bad. It has never been surpassed.
At the end of the day Ultravox are Classical musicians with words added!!… that’s why they get better with age…that’s why they never sound dated!! THE GODS!!!!
@robcol800 Back in the 80's even the punk-rockers were starving ex-music students, fully classically trained, locked and loaded, itching to out-perform. I mention "melody" and "key changes" to today's youth and they say they never heard of them...
@Dracopol I remember when Vox played at my home town in Doncaster 1980, Midge was getting spat at by some disgruntled skinheads, I remember Midge very forcefully and clearly shouting at them to F_ _K OFF!!!! He was not happy!
@robcol800 I heard some retrospective show looking at Ultravox's career, a long time ago on student radio, and they simply said "their music was rejected by the punk community for being 'too sophisticated'."
I had an Ultravox urge at 14/15 after listening to The Collection - first heard this track in 1986 and it was great then as it is great now! Best group ever!!!!
Opening track of the Vienna album ,reminds me of those long winter nights back in the early 80s and one of the reasons why I had to see Ultravox live then to ...thanks
...can't forget the sensation I've felt when listen this great instrumental for the first time...it was 31 years ago, and I still feel the same sensation...
Brilliant and very apt indeed, Astradyne was quoted by Warren Cann as bein a mix of latin, as used by The Royal Air Force, meanin ''Through adversity, to the star's ....
Astonishingly excellent.
