referencing Visions In Blue, 12", Single, Cle, CHS12 2676, CHS 12 2676

A fantastic yet mostly forgotten single from the legendary New(ish) Romantic band Ultravox. Slowly building up with layers of ethereal synth and haunting piano under Midge Ure's unmistakable, powerful voice it easily equals Vienna in terms of impact and emotion.

Once the track arrives fully, you are hit with an incredible bassline and Eastern string pads while Midge's vocal drops to the background letting the music tell the story.

This track reminds me of much later work by the likes of VNV Nation. I am sure such "Future Pop" bands hold tracks like Visions In Blue in very high regard.

I know I do.
