Additional information
In the early-'80s, the new wave movement was disintegrating into a million fragments, as those who embraced guitars and those who embraced synthesizers drew lines in the sand and began to vehemently territorialize. An adjunct arm of the synth-pop scene (see Gary Numan, OMD, The Human League) grew from out of the new wave, and, armed to the teeth with the Germanic sequencers of the '70s and state-of-the-art synthesizers, these groups became part of what was known as the New Romantics. Some grew large (Duran Duran, ABC), others receded into the cut-out bins--Ultravox grabbed the brass ring for a short while, courtesy of their brilliant VIENNA album. QUARTET followed two releases later, produced by former Beatles director George Martin, featuring a fairly stripped-down, but still illustrious Ultravox. The opening "Reap the Wild Wind," with its gigantic drumbeats, soaring strings, and windswept synths remains a high point for the band, and remains the album's finest moment. Ultravox were in something of a disarray at the time of QUARTET's release, but their glorious sound--the sort of stuff the Romans might have danced to had they installed sub-woofers in the Coliseum--remained fresh and invigorating.
