3rd album
Released in September 1978
Last recording with original lead singer, John Foxx
First album without guitarist, Stevie Shears
Robin Simon - Shears replacement - made first and only appearance with Ultravox
Mixed reviews upon release
Did not chart upon release
Impressive point to consider -
Significant influence on electropop genre
"Slow Motion" -
First track
Noted for multi effects pedal guitar sound and synthesizer bass as well as several synthesizer parts
Although the album did not achieve success, the lead track - "Slow Motion" - defined what would become an iconic genre that made its initial stamp in 1980s music. Roger Taylor's interest in Ultravox and "Slow Motion" truly is intriguing and worthwhile to know.
