Yep Robin was gone but Midge is a brilliant guitar player. What you get with the first Ultravox album is a extension of The Rich Kids and the craftsmanship of Billy, Chris and Warren.Kory wrote: ↑19 Apr 2021, 6:23pmI had assumed based on its reputation that it was going to be a lot more smooth, poppy, and New Romantic, but I hear a lot of the abrasion of the original Ultravox! in here. Some very cool guitar parts, even though I think Robin Simon was gone by this point.Marky Dread wrote: ↑19 Apr 2021, 4:48pmThat first Ultravox album has some great tracks on it. New Europeans and Sleepwalk are my faves but it's all good. I've got the deluxe box set but have yet to play it.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I just picked up a couple of Southside Johnny CDs. I really dig their soul/r&b vibe.

They aren't anywhere close to my favourite band, but there's something about J&MC that is cooler than anyone else.
