    I saw Ultravox at Hurrah's in NYC, I believe 1978. Klaus Nomi opened. During Rockwrok John Foxx put the microphone in my face and I sang part of the chorus for all to hear.

    Foxx was a proper frontman. Absolutely brilliant to see him, Chris and Stevie Shears on quality footage such as this.

      Stevie missed more than a few notes, but still prefer him to Robin. He did well in the studio.

    Incredibly sad news tonight of the passing of Chris Cross, bass player with Ultravox. The version with John Foxx in the 1970s was one of my favorite bands. They played their last shows in March 1979 at the Cuckoo's Nest and The Whiskey. John Foxx went solo and the rest continued on with Midge Ure as the singer. Once Gary Numan and Human League had success as synth bands, John Foxx and Ultravox MK2 had more success and hits in the 1980s.

    This song just captures the feeling of the seventies slow transition into the futuristic electronic romance, a dying love in a dying light, let's stay in here for ever, and when the streets are quiet, we'll walk out in the silence. I miss the seventies: -(

      I did in March of 1979 at the Whiskey A Go-Go in West Hollywood, CA. It was Robin Simon on guitar. Stevie Sheers was let go after their 2nd album. I was 23 when I saw Ultravox back then.

    Live lyrics version
    Enter me gently, I break in the light
    Cover my eyes, with the rags of my life
    Were you speaking
    Or did I say
    The empires are fading
    It's time to be slipping away
    Let's slip away
    Let's slip away
    Letters from lovers are lining my grate
    Some came too early and some came too late
    Were you speaking
    Or did I say
    The empires are fading
    It's time to be slipping away
    Let's slip away
    Let's slip away
    What am I to do
    Don't leave me
    What is there to say, I really...
    We're just wasting time
    Let the night takes it's place
    Colour my eyes with the dusk of this wonderful day
    Let's slip away
    Let's slip away
    All things fall from me, the bonds and the veils
    All things blow by me, my sorrows have sails
    Were you speaking
    Or did I say
    The empires are fading
    It's time to be slipping away
    As you call me
    My hands they fall open
    My mouth it is frozen
    The chrysalis tumbles
    I'm falling
    Slow motion
    Dissolve

      Seppur apprezzi qualcosa (Vienna e Rage…) del barocco nuovo corso con midge ure, gli album con John Foxx rimangono dei capolavori. Ma forse erano soltanto due visioni musicali per due periodi storici decisamente differenti. Chissà..

    One of my favorite tracks from the John Foxx era, yet, in this version, two very important things are missing: Warren's bass drum and Billy Currie! Where is Billy? Seems like the cameramen forgot that he was there too... In general bass frequencies are missing from the mix, you can hear Chris's bass or Warren's toms, but only in their high frequencies, which is pretty annoying... I know that it's an old recording, but I've listened to much better live stuff from the late seventies... Anyways: great stuff!

      This is the same recording that was previously the b-side of Young Savage. Comparing this and Modern Love with those previously released, they've really messed up the audio mixes on them with some needless reverb/echo and lost some of the bass. I can see me doing a redux of those two tracks. I really hope that these aren't going to be the audio mixes used for the EP and they stick with the flat mixes, rather than plastering this bullshit 'large hall' reverb nonsense all over them. As it is, at least I have good mixes for two tracks.

    Once certains members of Ultravox decided Stevie Shears guitar playing was too rock and roll for the sound they were trying to achieve, huge mistake as the third album, the first without Stevie Shears was nowhere near as good as the previous two albums. With Foxx going next - the next reincarnation of Ultravox was an embarrassment to the original Ultravox....

      That's a minority opinion. Systems of Romance was genre defining and, led to Ultravox being leaders instead of just another punk era band. Which was probably their plan. Tho I like Shears he really has one sound, and it's very much of its time. And an inside source tells me he couldn't improvise like his successor, but he would say that
