New Ultravox album out this year...

thats about the right era for my music the good old days , these guys were some of the pioneers into electronic music along with Depeche Mode, Human League and OMD.

Pioneers?

How about Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Jean Michel Jarre and many other Krautrock bands? Poeple who not only played the music, but many of whom helped develop the instruments.

Also people like Delia Derbyshire at the BBC Radiophonics Workshop and Wendy Carlos (Clockwork Orange).

Depeche Mode became great song writers, but I wouldn't say they were pioneers of electronic music. Always thought Midge Ure and co were a good song writers too.

I can actually remember the days who OMD used to do sessions for Tommy Vance's Friday Rock Show on Radio1, when they were avant garde, rather than mainstream of a few years later. I think The Human League may also have done sessions for that show too, but not sure.

UVox did have a brill 'wall of sound' approach to their earlier gigs that I fondly remember - which they replicated well in 2009.

Thanks for the heads up Andy.

I'll make sure I avoid it but each to their own ... I hope you enjoy the new album when it arrives Andy

yep your right  Jamie, if i forgot to mention anyone was my fault. Named mainly bands i really like and still like a lot now. I like kraftwerk and Jean michelle jarre, But TD were not my cup of tea.  A really good read is the Human League web site on how the band formed and their first live GIG and how they used lots of tape machines etc. Travelogue and Reproductions are great albums TBH i think their best.

What is the point of your post? If you don't like the band, just stay off the thread. Simple

If you are into electro stuff go look at 'electronically yours'...

re the poster who won't be going to the Uvox gig..... thanks for sharing that with me (LOL)

Bit like i won't be going to see the Foo fighters, or the Levellers for that matter...
