Our Take

ULTRAVOX's Quartet (Half Speed Master) takes listeners on a synth-pop journey that is as slick as a fresh coat of hair gel. This reissue of the classic album gives a new generation the chance to experience the band's unique blend of haunting melodies and pulsating rhythms.

From the infectious hooks of "Reap the Wild Wind" to the melancholic beauty of "Hymn," ULTRAVOX masterfully showcase their ability to craft songs that are both catchy and profound. The production on this reissue is crisp and clear, allowing every shimmering synth line and pounding drumbeat to shine through with the clarity of a diamond in the rough.

Lead singer Midge Ure's vocals are hauntingly atmospheric, adding an extra layer of depth to the already lush instrumentation. The band's lyrical content explores themes of love, loss, and longing, creating a sense of emotional resonance that is both timeless and contemporary.

Overall, ULTRAVOX's Quartet (Half Speed Master) is a must-listen for any fan of 80s synth-pop or anyone looking to expand their musical horizons. It's a shimmering gem of an album that sparkles with an energy and vitality that is as infectious as it is electrifying. So grab your neon leg warmers, crank up the volume, and let ULTRAVOX take you on a sonic journey you won't soon forget.
