Ultravox Ultravox are a British New Wave rock band. They were one of the primary exponents of the British electronic pop music movement of the early 1980s. The band was particularly associated with the New Romantic and New Wave movements. Until 1979, the frontman of Ultravox was John Foxx who decided to quit the band to embark on a solo career. Following Foxx's departure, Midge Ure took over as lead singer, guitarist and frontman, and he helped to steer the band to commercial success. Ure left the band in 1987 after establishing a solo career and the group essentially disbanded for a while. A new line-up, led by sole original bandmember Billy Currie, was formed in 1992, but without success. Click here to listen or Download

Nostalgia of the Future - Moustache!

The moustache can amuse, disturb and challenge, simply because it’s outré. The soup-strainer is a backwater-icon of pop and jazz as well as Film Noir and Edwardian Professional Footballers. My favourite ‘tache is the Ronald Colman-style matinée idol, sported by my dear chum Martin Koerner from London’s charming literate pop group Marcel.

This interview is totally raw and uncut. What that means is as it was recorded at the time without edits, so it contains everything from screw-ups, intro's to tracks with no subsequent music, strange background noises, pregnant pauses and idle chatter but that is what makes it so unique. This interview has not seen the light of day in this format since it was recorded nearly 30 years ago.
