Metamatic Forums John Foxx Ultravox Hell Thaw Continues: pictures at 11...

Also the only two albums I had, but to be honest I can’t imagine listening to them now. I particularly loved RIE at the time, and it makes me laugh when I read some peoples ‘review’s’ about it nowadays on Amazon, etc, describing it as overblown, even pretentious.
Strangely, after seeing them play during the Monument tour I really lost all interest in them!
I think they are most definitely making any united appearance in order to promote the remasters, as for any new work in future, well maybe they should get Louis to join them, he’s got the X factor when it comes to helping to reignite the big engine

I am a realist and I cannot help but be excited.

Thats always good to do, but in this case, fans have been fantasizing for years, and now theres some reality to it.

You should give them a listen. Really.

Dont have the vinyl LP's anymore maryann, but when I heard about the remasters I was Very tempted to get RIE, (pretentious or not, I loved it!), but a certain Mr Foxx keeps obliging me to buy up all of his back catalogue first with my pennies

I never tire of playing any and all Ultravox, be it FoxxVox or MidgeVox....

Agreed!

Both eras are brill, in my opinion.

I never try to compare them. I have my faves from both. For FoxxVox it is Systems Of Romance. I never got a chance to hear that one live and that is the one that started it all for me.

hear! hear!

Needless to say, i agree dear.
