Ultravox News

It seems that Ultravox's new album is coming along nicely. We spoke to Midge 10 days ago, when he confirmed that the album is going to be produced by Steve Lipson.

He also said that everything is coming together and sounding better than any of them had imagined... The same day, he tweeted:

New Ultravox album turning out to be one of the best pieces of work we have ever done. Looking forward to completing it over next few weeks. Classic Ultravox but with 2011 twist. Synth stacked. Guitar chugging. Texture filled. Haunting. Beautiful and fragile. Soaring and exciting.

Are we excited yet? It seems that Billy is, saying on his website:

I have dug out my old ARP and got it fixed up by my old Huddersfield mate Pete Wood. Pete used to work for Ultravox back in the 80's. He built original custom electronic instruments for us as well. He did a good job on my ARP. It may end up on a few more tracks!!!!! I had forgotten what a lovely instrument it is. Me & the band had such a hoot doing these solos and bits!!!!!! It was fun doing it like we do now :- WITHOUT AN ENGINEER. That does make quite a bit of difference. Making ALL the decisions ourselves. It brings you closer!!!!!! WOW!

Chris has very kindly sent us two photos to show you, one of Bill on his viola, and one on the aforementioned ARP Odyssey...
