doing in the past. I´d bike up to his house most nights and we would sit and listen to 12"s and LPs all day and night, watching films and really chilling. We would go to his house at lunch times and eat pot noodles and catch up. So this was now 1986 - Jean Michel Jarre brought out an unforgettable LP called Rendezvous, Nik Kershaw brought out Radio Musicola, Depeche Mode brought out Black Celebration and Ultravox had returned with U-VOX.
U-VOX was different from the rest of the LPs of Ultravox, i had actually bought the tape of it, maybe thats when i started buying tapes more. It was a comeback and had some very memorable tracks such as SAME OLD STORY, FOLLOW YOUR HEART and ALL IN ONE DAY the track i mentioned at the beginning.
The group was back but without Warren Cann the drummer as i mentioned also -
it was more modern, had a slightly different sound but Midge Ure had then started his solo career with "The Gift" and had started to change his style a little. Cann was sacked during the creation of U-VOX.
Mark Brzezicki of Big Country took his place as drummer, already a drummer on Ures classic "The Gift"LP. Only one LP was recorded in 1986 - Ure and Chris Cross left the group in 1987 and the only member left - Billy Currie was on his own. Ure and Currie were part of the group Visage since 1979, with hits like the memorable "Fade to Grey", Ure left Visage in 1982 to concentrate on Ultravox and Currie in 1984.
There had been so many changes over the years, Ure wasnt originally the lead singer in the early years,
