Customer Reviews Disappointing Whether you discovered Ultravox through the John Foxx version or the Midge Ure version, you were getting a band that combined influences from punk, new wave, Bowie, Roxy Music, Kraftwerk. . not faceless and bland vaguely progressive rock that makes the likes of Mike and the Mechanics or Asia sound almost edgy by comparison. Unfortunately, the latter is what you get on this disc, which combines two studio albums by two different lineups. The only thing either one has in common with any other Ultravox is Billy Currie, but for whatever reason he doesn't seem to remember what made Ultravox interesting. You wouldn't know he'd had anything to do with "Young Savage," "Hiroshima Mon Amour," "Dislocated," "New Europeans," or "The Voice. " If, on the other hand, all you know of Ultravox is a few tracks from Lament or U-Vox and the odd Midge solo tune, you may enjoy this. I certainly don't. Original sound remind me ancient Ultravox It's a pity that Midge Ure left Ultravox because they could go on years creating masterpieces. Billy Currie made a very good job. I recommend this double CD. I think Ingenuity is better than Revelation. Buy it without doubt. Trust me!. Must have Ultravox Though Midge Ure is missing, this is a quality addition to any Ultravox collection. .
