We are celebrating the 40th anniversary of ULTRAVOX’s classic ‘Vienna’ album in the new Electronic Sound. We have a limited edition Ultravox seven-inch on clear vinyl featuring two non-album tracks from the ‘Vienna’ sessions to accompany this month’s magazine too. We’ve interviewed all four members of the group – Midge Ure, Billy Currie, Chris Cross and Warren Cann – to get the full inside story on ‘Vienna’. From the split with original singer John Foxx (“We were at each other’s throats for a long time”) to working with the legendary producer Conny Plank at his remote studio in Germany (“There was nothing around us except cows”) to becoming one of the most successful electronic pop outfits of all time, this really is a great read. The many highlights include Midge Ure describing Kraftwerk as “a corduroy band” and talking about his brief spell in Thin Lizzy.
