Vienna

When John Foxx left the band in 1979 after their final San Francisco show, to embark on a solo career, it seemed to signal the end for Ultravox. But whilst collaborating on the Blitz Club guru Steve Strange's Visage project, Billy Currie asked Midge Ure to join the band. Midge had been in Slik and Glen Matlocks The Rich Kids with a couple of successful singles to his name. For the recording of the subsequent Vienna album, the band again used Systems Of Romance producer Conny Plank. The German who produced Bowies German trilogy of albums Low, Heroes and Lodger, plus Kraftwerk the pioneers of the sythn sound, brought the sound to life and the resulting title track, inspired by Carol Reeds 1949 film The Third Man gave the band their biggest single success to date.
