My favourite blue eyes from synthpop. I remember how i was astonished for the change He has made in the direction of his music, when i knew he was on the first album of Ultravox that was of a totally different sound , very post punk. Definitely love the synthpop direction. "METAMATIC" is a great album, this song, together with "Underpass" and "he's a Liquid" were absolutely magic. Seen this video for the first time in 1995 during a tv show about the history of pop music
@andrewjohnstone9639 ай бұрын
Ultravox! This album was recorded in 76 so it pre dates any punk record in Britain New Rose by The Damned was the first record released in Britain so calling them post punk is a tad absurd as Ultravox was recorded and released before any punk record Not including any American bands 😕

Now, Foxx was obsessed with removing all trace of humanity in his performance, much like Numan, plus he liked the use of fluorescent light tubing same as Numan. I sometimes wonder if they inspired each other.

Nothing to wonder about there - Numan has said many times over the years that he was inspired by Foxx, and that Foxx was like a mentor to him.... Foxx is also admittedly a huge fan of Numan
