Ultravox: Quartet

Roy Trakin, Creem, June 1983

ALL YOU NEED Is Synth. Producer George Martin sez these guys are the most musical band he's worked with since you-know-who. So, what'd you expect him to say...Cheap Trick? Me? I don't like Midge Ure's mustache or his muzick. And I'm not too crazy about reviewing a band's record by saying, "But you have to see their video..." What IS an Ultrvox anyway? A vacuum cleaner? Or just a vacuum?
