Ultravox is a British new wave band, active primarily during the late 1970s and 1980s. They are known for their synthesis of electronic and rock music, characterized by the distinctive vocals of lead singer Midge Ure and the innovative use of synthesizers. The band achieved significant success with their album "Vienna" (1980), which marked a turning point in their sound and was a major influence on the emerging synth-pop genre. Ultravox's influence extends beyond music, as they also contributed to pioneering music video aesthetics with their visually striking and thematic video for "Vienna".
