Hello, my name's Mariateresa, I'm from Milan, Italy. When I was a teenager, I remember I owned a tape of a band called Ultravox!
It was early eighties :rolleyes: and, while all my schoolmates listened to the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack, I loved Talking Heads, The The, Gary Numan.
In 1984 we changed home, and my Ultravox! tape went lost. A few weeks ago, I heard "Rock Wrock" on the radio. I couldn't believe how good the song was.
So I bought the cd "Ultravox! The Island Years" which contains nearly all the tracks that were on my early 80's tape.
Oh my! What a trip down memory lane. All the songs sound as fresh as when they came out and not at all dated, after all these years. "Hiroshima Mon Amour" still sends shivers down my spine.
I also saw a video on Youtube of "Hiroshima Mon Amour" and John Foxx's performance is simply breathtaking.
I just wanted to share all this with you fans (sorry for the English mistakes).
Thank you John (if you ever read this).
Ciao!
