"As the title suggests, Ultravox were in a gray mood as they launched into their seventh studio LP, their previous existential angst now pooling around personal anguish. The album's title track was a study in languorous melancholy, where the emotional pain lingered on and on. And why would it ever dissipate, when romance is forever doomed, as "When the Time Comes" exquisitely illustrated? Even "One Small Day," the most musically celebratory song on the set, battles depression but dismally loses the war. No wonder Ultravox were so keen to escape far into the past, with "Man of Two Worlds" taking them back to the gloriously romanticized days of the Celts. The modern world, in contrast, was filled with terrors, both emotional ("A Friend I Call Desire") and global. There was the omnipresent yellow peril to fear; but if "White China" warned of the dangers of creeping communism, the nation sworn to protect its citizens from a Stalinistic embrace proves just as nefarious on "Heart of the Country." Each side is as bad as the other, together threatening the globe with annihilation, with the mini-epic "Dancing with Tears in My Eyes" poignantly pointing out the richness of life the world's leaders hold so carelessly in their hands. This was to be Ultravox's final album, at least in this form, and in many ways, the set was the band's perfect epitaph, as lavish musically as it was desolate thematically."

	Quartet Used Import - WWS-81531 1982 Japanese original with Obi & insert. "With the successes of Vienna and its follow-up, Rage in Eden, Ultravox's position in the music scene was unassailable, further fortified by frontman Midge Ure's foray into solo-dom with the summer 1982 hit cover of the Walker Brothers' "No Regrets." The band's "Reap the Wild Wind" followed it up the U.K. chart that fall, a taster for the band's sixth album. And what a portentous taste it was. While "Wind" buffeted and whooshed once again around nostalgia for a past never lived, "Hymn" (its melody lifted from "Mourning Star" by Ure's last band, the Zones) wrestled with faith in a faithless age and prayed its way up the chart later that fall, while the dirge "Visions in Blue" saw the spring caught in its icy grip. But it was the fourth song spun off the album, "We Came to Dance," that best defined the overall themes of the set. Having helped create a movement renowned for its fashion victims and superficiality, Ultravox recoiled from the Frankenstein they'd birthed. "The Song (We Go)" may have been a cry of welcome, but both "Dance" and "Serenade" make clear the music scene's terrifying capacity to unleash both Dionysian abandon and militaristic conformity. "When the Scream Subsides" further fuels the album's existential angst, which reaches its emotional nadir on the suicidal "Cut and Run." With their toe-tapping rhythms, billowing synths, and rousing melodies, one is often tempted to ignore the darkness of Ultravox's themes, but with Quartet, the band deliberately made that nigh on impossible."

	U-Vox Used Import - WWS-91209 1986 Japanese pressing with Obi & insert. VG++/NM- player. "Featuring new drummer Mark Brzezicki (formerly of Big Country), the prosaically titled U-Vox offered more of the same from these by-now-redundant synth stylists. The one exception was the single "All Fall Down," a slightly more imaginative variant on the formula. (The other two singles drawn from the album, "Same Old Story" and "All in One Day," were shallow echoes of the band's earlier releases.) "All Fall Down" was to prove their final chart entry."

	Vienna New - LP - CHR 1296 Sealed 1980 Original. Cut Corner. “With The Departure Of Vocalist John Foxx And Guitarist Robin Simon Behind Them, Vienna Kicked Off Ultravox's Second Phase With Former Rich Kids Vocalist Midge Ure At The Helm. Trading Foxx's Glam Rock Stance For Ure's Aristocratic Delivery, Vienna Recasts The Band As A Melodramatic Synth Pop Chamber Ensemble With Most Of The Group Doubling On Traditional String Quartet Instruments And The Synthesizers Often Serving To Emulate An Orchestra. It Was A Bold Move That Took Awhile To Pay Off (The First Two Singles, "Sleepwalk" And "Passing Strangers," Went Unnoticed), But When The Monolithic Title Track Was Released, The Ure Lineup Became The Band's Most Identifiable One Almost Overnight. The Simple And Instantly Recognizable Drumbeat Of "Vienna" Proved Infectious, Taking The Single To The Top Of The Charts In The U.K. And Making An Impression In A New Wave-Apprehensive America. Bassist Chris Cross' Monotone Narration On "Mr X" And The Frantic Ride That Is "Western Promise" Give The Album Just Enough Diversity And Showcase The Rest Of The Group On An Ure-Heavy Album. There Are Plenty Of Pretentious And Pompous Moments At Which Foxx-Era Purists Cringe, But Taken As A Snooty Rebellion Against The Guitar-Heavy Climate Of The Late '70s, They're Ignorable. Returning Producer Conny Plank's Style Adapted Well To The New Group, Pitting The Stark And The Lush Against One Another. Add Anton Corbijn's Photography And Peter Saville's Smart Cover Design And All The Ingredients For An Early-'80s Classic Are There. A Few Albums Later, It Would All Seem Like A Fluke, But On Vienna, All The Pieces Come Together.” – David Jeffries, All Music Guide more

	Vienna [Deluxe Edition] New - LP - CHRH 1296 Sealed 2020 2LP 40th anniversary, half-speed mastered deluxe edition pressed on 180gm vinyl. 2nd disc features a collection of single edits + B-sides. "With the departure of vocalist John Foxx and guitarist Robin Simon behind them, Vienna kicked off Ultravox's second phase with former Rich Kids vocalist Midge Ure at the helm. Trading Foxx's glam rock stance for Ure's aristocratic delivery, Vienna recasts the band as a melodramatic synth pop chamber ensemble with most of the group doubling on traditional string quartet instruments and the synthesizers often serving to emulate an orchestra. It was a bold move that took awhile to pay off (the first two singles, "Sleepwalk" and "Passing Strangers," went unnoticed), but when the monolithic title track was released, the Ure lineup became the band's most identifiable one almost overnight. The simple and instantly recognizable drumbeat of "Vienna" proved infectious, taking the single tonumber two in the U.K. and making an impression in a new wave-apprehensive America. Drummer Warren Cann's monotone narration on "Mr X" and the frantic ride that is "Western Promise" give the album just enough diversity and showcase the rest of the group on an Ure-heavy album. There are plenty of pretentious and pompous moments at which Foxx-era purists cringe, but taken as a snooty rebellion against the guitar-heavy climate of the late '70s, they're ignorable. Returning producer Conny Plank's style adapted well to the new group, pitting the stark and the lush against one another. Add Anton Corbijn's photography and Peter Saville's smart cover design and all the ingredients for an early-'80s classic are there. A few albums later, it would all seem like a fluke, but on Vienna, all the pieces come together." All Music Guide - David Jefferies more
