Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
it will be a sad day when he stops making music.its even sadder how he receives little to no attention from the masses.the saddest part is that hardly any store carries his cds(unless you look in the absurdly priced ''import'' section).this man has been creating music for decades and when i mention his name and the bands hes been in i get blank stares.his voice knows no bounds,his skill as a musician is top shelf.its not often you get those qualities in an artist.like bob dylan.been around before noah but his voice is as awefull now as it was in day 1.but he has incredible lyrics,so you have to deal with it.with midge,you get the whole package.great voice,very good lyrics,great music.i had the chance to see him live for his answers to nothing tour in nyc.he blew me and my friends away.the same friends that never heard of him.some concert-goers say the vibe makes it better than the cd product.maybe.but here,midge is even better live.his voice/music doesnt need the gimmicks of a studio or a dozen producers to make it work.that is true talent.he doesnt have to(i dont think he can)dance in hoochiewear or overwhelm his audience with fireworks or more background singers to help his voice(janet,britney,all the preteen junk thats out now,can you make that claim?)in his pre ultravox days(visage,the rich kids,and his short stint with phil lynotts group)he was more of a new waver and didnt really explore other genres.that was also the case with ultravox to an extent.on the cd''U-VOX''(which is my least midge ure led fave)he tried to take them out of the new wave trappings and into something different.it didnt work and therefore the band had to end.but who can forget the anthemes like''vienna'',''dancing with tears in my eyes'',''loves great adventure'',and 1 of my favorites''a friend i call desire''.when ultravox preformed for the LIVE AIDS concert,they received a rousing ovation and did an amazing encore on the strength of midges voice.singing''vienna'' live and not whimping out on the hard notes is a feat not easily pulled off.i would compare his voice to steve perrys of journey.but on his own he is able to escape that mold and let his brilliant array of stylings take over.be it ballads(the gift,the leaving-so long,let it go)or the uptempo songs(if i was,wasteland,that certain smile,lied,dear god,breathe,cold cold heart)he never fails to impress.his voice never disappoints,music never becomes stale.for those of you who havent given midge a listen to,i suggest you do.he may change your idea of what music should sound like.close your eyes and let your ears take over.
This CD is definitely the very best of Midge Ure & ULtravox. This compilation covers the best songs of Midge Ure's solo career as well as his work with Visage and Band Aid... and of course Ultravox. I mainly purchased this CD because I loved the song "If I was" which I consider Midge Ure's finest solo hit... and a great love song. Yes, this compilation is missing other great hits of Ultravox like "Hymn" or "Love's Great Adventure" but I still highly recommend this CD. Every time I listen to this CD, it definitely brings back a lot of memories of the 80s. A must have for fans of British New Wave/synth pop music.
We have been moving a few times and somehow I misplaced my previous copy of this cd.. So.. I ordered it again.. I love it.. What's not to love about this great selection of songs and guy as a whole.. He is awesome.. Such a genius..!!!
I loved this CD enough to buy it again.. That should say it all!!!!
Sorry I bought this. Maudlin and sentimental, for the most part. And the flow is not great from song to song. I guess I only like the Ultravox songs, so I should have found their best of instead. This stuff is horribly over-produced, and concludes on the worst-ever cover of Bowie's "Man Who Sold The World," (which was supposed to be mysterious and obsessive last I checked). Out of 17 songs the three I already had were the best ("Vienna," "Fade to Grey," "Dancing with tears in my eyes") so I've just bought a rather expensive single of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" Is this the guy they based the jingle-writer from Love, Actually on?
This album feature all the best songs from the great UK songwriter Midge Ure ( including do the know it’s chrismas) and from his time in Ultravox so if you really want the best from Midge Ure buy this cd and not the best of Ultravox. Everything is good in this album and you won’t regret it !
Delivered on time. I had looked everywhere to find an album with the best of Midge Ure and Ultravox but with no luck intil now brilliant album Thank you
ライブ８でイギリスでは話題のあったミッジ・ユーロ。日本ではボブ・ゲルドフの名前しかでてきませんが・・去年再び録音されたDo They Know It's Christmasを作曲したのはミッジです。この機会に原曲を聞いてみませんか？（１５曲目）たくさんのアーティストで歌ってるこの１曲はある意味興味深い。他にもこのCDに入ってるのはポップセンス抜群の名曲ぞろい。彼の歌のすばらしさを堪能できる１枚だと思います。
