Visions in Blue






I've been lucky enough to see some of my all time favourite bands, but I never thought I'd get the chance to see Ultravox cos they split up so long ago and Midge Ure has been pissing around for ages. But they are ACTUALLY touring again next year. Which is way more exciting for me than you can imagine. Ultravox were pioneers of Electronica and Electro-pop, especially their early material when John Foxx was on vocals, even the art work and styling of the band has huge influence to this day.





This video is for their track "Visions in Blue", it's a bit epic, so if you can't be bothered with the atmos-building intro skip to 2 minutes in, but if you do that you'll miss the bird-bathing-bird lesbo action.





Basically Ultravox are the bollocks and they have amazing videos and songs like this, so check it out.
