Ultravox - Rage In Eden - 1981

*FOR YOUR LISTENING ENJOYMENT ONLY*

What is the openVAULT you ask? It's quite simple. Music that for lack of a better analogy, has been locked away from the general public. What has happened to the musical landscape is sickening. Far too many artists go largely unnoticed. We are here to change that. To drive the point home, this will not be some "best of" list aka Rolling Stone. No "Stairway", no "Walrus", just music that should be heard. Here at openVAULT you're going to be forced off the beaten path more often than not.

It'll be good for you, trust us.

Every song you will hear is from our private collection, so please NO copying, downloading or reproducing these videos in any form for this is strictly prohibited. You know as in illegal, a no-no. As stated before these tunes are FOR YOUR LISTENING ENJOYMENT ONLY! We won't sell, trade, or give up any mp3s, so if you're here for that purpose please step aside, you're blocking the view of others.

what did they sing on the chorus???

[OpenVault]

It's actually the chorus of another song on the same album sung backwards. "Oh I remember death in the afternoon"

Such a wonderful band, i was born years after they stopped playing, but their music, which was introduced to me by my father, is still very amazing and different than the "music" we have today. Its hard to see that this band still goes unnoticed.

It's also been re released as a digital remaster recently, along with Vienna and later.

Absolute classic album and my favorite of all the Ultravox releases.

@EricDB007 I am going to as well,if I can find it.

picked up the vinyl on a whim today because i thought the cover looked rad and lo and behold the music rules too :-D

[clarkem]

So I took the song into Audacity and reversed it. Even then it's hard to make out the "I will remember death in the afternoon" part.

This was my favorite Ultravox album when I was high school! Used to try to draw the album cover all the time! Great production by Conny Plank too! I like the John Foxx years but they really took off when Midge join the band. A classic.

I spent many of my teen years listening to this album, and until now I didn't realise the chorus was part of Death in the Afternoon backwards. I just thought it was so layered and doused in effects, including reverse reverb, that it was nearly unintelligible. I always heard it as "oooh, good for Eden, my friend. How many will fall" and was always puzzled by the 'lyrics'.

[GeneVeeAnachronism]

A phenomenal band ...many years ahead of its time...and timeless.....
