It's a select group of people who can appreciate Ultravox. Selected for taste and soul.

That mix of Yellow Pearl followed by Passing Strangers made the hairs on my arm stand up. That’s how good that was! Classic Ultravox.

Yellow Pearl wasn't Ultravox. It was Phil Lynott. (Plus Midge of course).

One of the best British vocalists ever! Midge is phenomenal! This guy is out there with a select few. Midge on the vocal range easily keeps company with some of the best, Freddie Mercury and Annie Lennox coming to mind!

Bloody heck, there is so much happening here with the combo of these two songs. The first by Thin Lizzy frontman Phil Lynott, originally for his 1980 solo album, and the second from Ultravox's early days. Political. Postcolonial realiites enmeshed in poetic realities of human love. I'm a bit gobsmacked about the cleverness of what Midge Ure has done here... What an amazing bastard he is :*)

When I look back now,I see a very seamless transition for me that when my favorite band of all time Joy Division dissolved for reasons which we all know Ultravox came right in and filled the spot perfectly. There is no band like Ultravox and level of music they made was just mind blowing. They weren’t Joy Division obviously, but for me they are right in the coat tails of them as far as greatness for me. So many classic and beautiful songs like the magnificent Astradyne- the Voice- Vienna- Stranger Within etc and when I listen to them now it really brings me back to a special place in my youth. Thanks Midge and the boys for bringing me such wonderful music and was so glad I WAS INTRODUCED TO YOU GUYS BECAUSE BACK THEN SINCE THERE WAS NOT MUCH EXPOSURE HERE IN THE US. Hope to see you again next year.

Midge has just got better over the years from Ultravox, his own work , these guys, fantastic- one addition why was he or has been knighted for music and charity, especially as he was as much behind Band Aid / Live Aid as others, he is a marvellous fantastic man

Ah the memories... 1980! and the theme music for 'Top of the Pops' for what, four years or so? Can anyone explain what Phil Lynott was actually saying on the original version? I never have been sure... only Midge knows me thinks although there is some info in Midge's autobiography. 'Yellow Pearl' is such a great riff and this mix with 'Passing Strangers' is simply outstanding... I remember back in day saying as a DJ "...'Sleepwalk' and 'Passing Strangers' - welcome to Ultravox!"

LOVE Midge Ure Ultravox...despite Gary Numan's whiny pointlessness. ;-) Seriously, for those upset that John Foxx left Ultravox, blame John Foxx (or at least his control freak attitude). Midge Ure rather nicely complemented a band with a missing lead singer, but people act like he forced John Foxx out the way they talk about it. OK, U-VOX was a bit of sadness...I'll give you that. ;-)
