On 11 July 1980, Ultravox released Vienna, their fourth studio album and the first to feature Midge Ure as lead vocalist and guitarist. It also marked their debut on Chrysalis Records and the beginning of the band’s most recognisable and successful line-up: Ure, Warren Cann, Billy Currie and Chris Cross. Produced by Conny Plank, who had also helmed 1978’s Systems of Romance, Vienna was recorded at RAK Studios in London and mixed at Plank’s own studio near Cologne. The band approached songwriting as a democratic unit, trading ideas in a way that marked a new creative phase following the departure of John Foxx.
For a band navigating a major line-up change and a shift in musical direction, Vienna didn’t just survive the transition—it helped define the sound of the decade that followed.
