lol what a messed up vid

[BisbiPuxy]

AMAZING



[bioLarzen]

The problem with post-Midge Ultravox is that the classic lineup set the standard so so so high there's just no chance of getting even close - o matter how hard they try. By any standards tzhis is an absolutely OK song, well written, well sang and produced, good lyrics - but it's got to be compared to, say, Hymn or The thin wall - and it stands no chance :(

[eurofix]

Very posistive lyrics, and positive energy accurate for middle age man :)

[jempynl]

please don't spoil me memories of the great ultravox of the eighties............

[shazam1059]

where's midge ? where's warren? shazam1059

[djlumimies]

Wow, this video looks quite expensive. Must have been a hip thing to add those VR-helmets too. Well, I bet they make your head ache for sure, they are monstrous. This song sounds though like an eurovision drop-out...

[casalvista]

I'll sleep when im dead



[kondo337]

This is one of the most Sappy,Schmaltzy songs by ? Ultravox-I miss Midge but John Foxx was "Ultravox" imo

[AliceKasali]

O R R I B I L E

I MEAN THE SOUND... SORRY FOR CURRIE... IT'S NOTHING BAD ON HYM BUT..... PLEASEEE

[siropik]

@AliceKasali No, dai, Alice, non è così male! :-D Anzi...

I really like it. Billy is great!



[djbethell]

Mediocre at best. The original Ultravox and even the 2nd incarnation would truly be ashamed of this MOR track.

[bernardfate]

It sounds a bit to ordinary...

[elpicopormisvenas]

this is a good song!! revelation is also a good album! but!!! midge ure is ultravox!!

[desolatesoul87]

@elpicopormisvenas correction - John Foxx is ultravox ;)

[dippers08]

My old M8 Paul Orridge is playing bass in this Vid. We went busking around Europe together with his brother Mark.

[rooman66]

stadium pap pop without the stadium - lmao

billy currie prostituting himself - very sad

[fragmentopolis]

You can say whatever you want, but this music is great. High quality pop, better than any other, from those shitty 90's.

[xnonsuchx]

I like Billy Currie, but I think it was bad of him to try to continue under the Ultravox name.

[jajss]

BAD Ultravox!!

Shit!

[Cougari72]

I do like this track, I even bought it at the time! Not inthe same league as the Foxx or Ure days tho..

[elementel73]

Hey, could you please upload the rest of the tracks on this album. There were some great songs on this and if I can remember correctly it was very well produced. Pity it wasn't more succesful.

[dlusman]

alternatively you could buy the album

[elementel73]

Or not

[casalvista]

yES WE ARE A LIVE,,,,,,,

[vqey]

went to see them in london at the time the venue escapes me , very famous gona kick my self when i remember , not a bad show , small venue, but nothing too special as a gig

[musicman2day]

Underworld? in Camden

[Enriemadavtzy]

Con l'uscita di M. Ure gli Ultravox si sono comunque ritagliati un degno successo,se non altro grazie al grande B. Currie,più che alle voci di T. Fanelle in questo video e S. Blue dopo.

[blitzspeer]

I like ultravox but this sounds like a song made for a movie like the never ending story or something like that,cheesy airy whiney...they should have gone forward from vienna somehow they seem to have lost direction,sad they did have some great songs.

[FactionTwo]

Hi Blitzspeer. This wasn't like old Ultravox because at this point in the band, only one original member (Billy Currie, keyboards) remained - the most famous lineup had long-since split up. It's not real Ultravox. Billy just owned the name and released a couple of albums cashing in on the name.

The most famous lineup - Midge Ure, Billy Currie, Chris Cross and Warren Cann are now back together playing reunion gigs all over the place - check your favourite ticket website for details.

[KUPIDWITHABAZOOKA]

I was huge Mudge Ure/UVox fan...and I still thought this was an excellent track and that Tony did an amazing job taking on a tricky job...not easy to follow Midge Ure. I also thought the album 'Revelation' was very solid and had a couple of GREAT songs...'Perfecting the Art of Common Ground' was and still is an excellent song ! IMHO I think perhaps the music scene had changed...another time and they would have been very successful.

[debrules]

never been ultravox sorry

[musicman2day]

I was the manager at the time...it was a great band but to be honest Tony was not the right person to work alongside Billie, but it was a good album, however the label was not quite right and never really could get this album off the ground..shame. But we all had a lot of fun and it was lovely to have the sexy Paula Hamilton in the video, which was infact the 1st thing she did when she made her come back

[Garnimoa]

Commecial UV! No thanks not for me sorry!

[oiau3]

Except no-one bought it!

[penetrator9]

not bad....:)))

[MMSZoli]

Yes, I like this song, but not SO different from the other pop songs as the OTHER Ultravox songs I linked so much. I think Billy's voice is great, but I also prefer a little more Midge's one. But what I really missed here the strong synth sounds, which made the old Ultravox song so different from others. It needed only 1-2 seconds to recognise an UVox song, it was SO special.

[desolatesoul87]

I like this...but I don't like the kinda American accent with the singing...

although for some reason, this song makes me think of "one small day"

[emt4242]

Is there something wrong with an American accent??? Everyone sings with a more "American" accent than british/scottish....

[desolatesoul87]

Not necessarily...

but I don't know - I guess it's the style of this song as well. It's that kinda cheesy 90s power ballad that epitomises the generic sound of some 90s music.

I like Tony's voice...but I have to say that the Revelation just didn't overwhelm me like some of Ultravox's earlier stuff, which I find quite sad. But that's just my opinion, which I'll likely get flamed for.

[emt4242]

I dont flame people for opinions...I have mine and others have theirs...I do agree with previous comments about Billy should have changed the name of band...I like the song and Tonys voice...but u r correct it's NOT Ultravox..so, no flaming from me...:-)

[emt4242]

Is Tony left-handed????

[sonwetton]

It sounds like Asia featuring John Payne...

[musicman2day]

That's a really odd reply and close to home sonwetton...

I managed Ultravox for 3 years and managed Asia on and off for 10 years....

[sonwetton]

@musicman2day, excuse me if my comment annoyed you.

My feeling was Revelation is a quite good album... if I didn't know it's Ultravox.

Same thing with 90125 with Yes ;)

[musicman2day]

I was not annoyed at all, just that I managed both Ultravox and Asia for a period of time, and some members played in both bands and geoff Downes was in Yes for Drama...just amazing you spotted something similar.

[mapds]

This music is too pop for me. that song is ashit without MIdge Ure

[Cougari72]

If Midge Ure was still in the band, he would of sang this better...

[emt4242]

Thats purely conjecture at this point...I love Midge with all my heart and soul..yes, he might have sang it better, but, imo, totally different style...I think it would have been a completely different song, awesome it would have been, but give Tony some credit, he had huge shoes to fill..LOL..and i think he does have a nice voice...Midge is indeed the best singer on the planet, but some songs arent meant for him to sing...cheers to Midge and Tonyxxxx

[adrianomozzo]

Soy un fan de Ultravox desde su primer disco hasta el último, y Midge Ure es uno de mis artistas favoritos. Celebro también esta etapa de Ultravox. Muy buena canción.

[fzinggl]

i like it also!!

[fzinggl]

i am a big fan of Ultravox and midge ure.i like this song

[THIRV]

i agree with those points....not quite Ultravox, but it was a damn good try. both the Fenelle and Sam Blue era Uvox failed to ignite didn't they. Billy probably should have avoided the band name, but i guess he was either looking for a bit of commercial success, or else to try and prove to Midge that the brand could survive without him, as it had when John left of course. oh well, some good material on both Revelation and Ingenuity in my humble opinion, any ultravox is good :O)

[gmansi]

Nice song but is not Ultravox... just the name remains..

[LoZambro]

Not jus the name. The mind of Ultravox is Blly Currie not Midge Ure, so it's Ultravox!

[gmansi]

Maybe the mind, but not the soul

:)

[siropik]

I like it!

[FlipMartian]

Some Ultravox fans slag this off. Its not that bad although there are better songs on the Revelation album this came from. Tony could sing, the band could play and this incarnation was better than what produced the Ingenuity album afterwards. Billy's mistake was really calling the project "ultravox"...

[1986uno45s]

Couldn't agree more. Revelations is actually a good album with some class songs, and Tony is a superb singer. He's similar to Midge's style but still manages to keep his identity. Ingenuity also has its moments but is not as polished and Sam Blew lacks the power of Midge and Tony. There are better tracks on Revelations though "I am Alive" is still a decent enough track.

[emt4242]

First track I have heard Tony on vocals..WOW!!!brilliant job

[emt4242]

So, Tony sings on all of "Revelations"? Might have to get if so..:-) cuz I really, really like his voice on this...xx
