Then a bass drum kicks, the drums start, more keyboards fill in, and a melody begins. It starts with a tinking synthetic drum beat, and slowly various synth lines come in. When I got home and finally played the record on my dad's turntable, I was blown away.ġ1.
ULTRAVOX VIENNA LYRICS MOVIE
Upon learning that, I quickly found a theater downtown that plays the movie weekly and attended a screening. I later learned the song was written in reaction to the film The Third Man (1948), which itself is set in Vienna. I fell in love with the album and listened to it, and the title track in particular, all the time. Don't cast your eyes down too far – I do own the album, after all, fair and square. I bought the album on vinyl, and I didn't have a record player, so I took the technically-cheating route of downloading mp3s of the album. (A couple of weeks before I left I started finding the others.) While at that first store, the only record I bought was Ultravox's Vienna. I'd looked up a dozen or so stores, but we spent so much time at the first one that we didn't bother going to any others. While I was there, I always wanted to go record shopping but never did until Meredith came and visited me halfway through my time there. I'd listened through my dad's The Collection (a collection of the singles from their fourth through seventh albums) on vinyl, but it wasn't until about a year ago that I bought Quartet (1982) on cassette. Both are fairly good tracks, but it didn't immediately inspire me to buy an album. It started when my sister Meredith bought me a 7" of "The Thin Wall" b/w "I Never Wanted to Begin". Like the Human League, they've been on the fringe of my awareness for years but I've only recently begun really listening to them. Ultravox is a relatively new favorite of mine.
