この日が来るのをどんなに待ち望んでいたことか。 そのわりには、いとも簡単にあっさりと届いたUltravox!の初期3作リマスター紙ジャケット盤。 ディスクユニオン特典の紙ジャケット収納BOXは、今回の3枚に加えあと2枚ほど入るようになっている。 とりあえず手持ちのJohn Foxxソロ1st「Metamatic」2nd「The Garden」を収納。 取り急ぎ3枚聴いた印象は、少なくとも今夜の印象は3rd「System of Romance」は別モノだということ。 既にJohn Foxxの世界になっているのは否めない。それは決して悪いことではないのだけど。 確かにオープニングを飾る「Slow Motion」や代表曲「Quiet Men」など秀逸なナンバーはあるものの。 1stアルバムはオープニングからラストまで一気に疾走する感じで、2ndもその流れを踏襲しながら「Hiroshima Mon Amour」 などが散りばめられている。この2枚はJohn Foxxが、まさにフロントマンとして前面に出ているのだけど、 最高傑作と評される3rdは、「バンドとしてのUltravoxのサウンドをバックにJohn Foxxが唄ってる」ように聴こえる。 これも、決して悪いことではない。 とにかく今夜は永年待ち望んでいた夢が叶ったということに敬意を表すと共に感謝を。
mixiで書き込んだのですが、こちらにも。 Youtubeで発見しました。 Novaspace - Dancing With Tears In My Eyes (Live 2002) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFRxXD75y4U&search=ultravox Dancing With Tears In My Eyesをカヴァーしてます。 （ドイツのおねーさんなのかな？） シングルにもなってるようです。ジャンルは「サイバートランス」だそうです。 http://konsummusic.de/novaspace/index2.html シンディ・ローパーのTime after timeもカバーしてますね。
＞PLANET ROCKさん そのうちHMVかタワレコで探そうと思っていたら、わざわざリンクをしていただいて! さっそくオーダーしましたよ。どうもありがとうございました。
>邪外さん HNはお察しの通りです。 当方KRAFTWERKやYMO等々、所謂テクノポップを好んで聴いております。 加えてヒップホップやハウス云々も聴きかじっておりますゆえ、 そういった意味ではベタなHNになってしまいまして…。 ULTRAVOXに関しましては、一応オリジナルアルバムは大体所持しておりますが、 リアルタイマーではない為、まあ「ちょこっとFAN」的な程度です。 好きな曲は「パッショネート・リプライ」、「ミスターX」辺りです。 最近やっとジョン・フォックス期も良く感じるようになって来たという新参者ですが これからもちょくちょくお邪魔させて頂くこともあるかと思います。 ヨロシクお願い致します。
はじめまして。 情報ありがとうございます。 ところで、ハンドルネームは、アフリカ・バンバータからでしょうか？

＞Bプログラムさん DUの特典のBOXは、"Systems Of Romance"をベースにしたデザインですね。 私も早く欲しいです。 http://diskunion.net/rock/news.php?news_id=2 ＞エミリオさん えっ、グレゴリアン入手困難ですか・・・。（驚） Amazon.co.jp以外でもどこかで入手できるといいんですが・・・。 ＞daaaさん WarrenならOfficial Siteのフォーラムでけっこう発言している ようなので、もしかしたら、やりとりできるかもしれませんよ。 http://www.ultravox.org.uk/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi 最近はあまり発言していないみたいですが・・・ http://www.ultravox.org.uk/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile;u=00000005 （それでも以前は108も投稿していますね。） ＞しげるさん フォローありがとうございます。

John and Louis have put together a couple of special edition CDs which will be available on the forthcoming tour - probably from the Liverpool show onwards. Please note that there are plans to make both of these CDs more widely available once the tour is over so that anyone who's not able to get to any of the shows will be able to buy them without having to pay 'over the odds'. As usual, I'll post specific details just as soon as they've been confirmed. ** John Foxx & Louis Gordon : "Live From a Room (As Big as a City)" The first disc contains live versions of some of the songs that were performed on the last tour - similar in format to previous "Exotour" CDs... Below is the full track-listing and catalogue number. 01. Intro 02. Sex Video 03. Making Movies 04. Metal Beat 05. No-One Driving 06. Plaza 07. Underpass 08. Touch and Go 09. He's a Liquid 10. Broken Furniture 11. UltraViolet / InfraRed 12. Nightlife 13. My Sex Label : Metamatic Catalogue Number : META10CD ** John Foxx : "The Hidden Man" The second disc is a double album of exclusive interviews with John, together with three brand new tracks from John and Louis, as well a reading from "The Quiet Man" by John. It's anticipated that all copies of this disc will be signed. Below is the full track-listing and catalogue number. 01. Freeze Frame 5'22" 02. Running In Traffic 5'27" 03. From Trash 4'36" Label : Metamatic Catalogue Number : META11CD ** Please note that there won't be the facility at any of the live shows to pay for these discs using a credit card - they will only be available using cash. ***** John Foxx Radio Interviews and Sessions... Tomorrow morning (Monday the 17th of July) John will be interviewed by Phill Jupitus on his Radio 6 breakfast show. http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/phill_jupitus/ And later in the day, John and Louis will be appearing on Janice Long's Radio 2 show. They are going to be playing three songs in session for her show which begins at midnight and runs into the early hours of Tuesday morning. Janice will also be interviewing them both between tracks. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/long/upcomingsessions.shtml After that, John is going to Total Rock for an interview - I'll let you know when that's due to be broadcasted just as soon details are available. John has also been recently interviewed by Jarvis Cocker for a piece on Radio 4 about art-school bands - Ultravox of course being very much part of that. That interview will be aired in a couple of months time. Full details will follow just as soon as they've been confirmed. ***** Island albums - "Ultravox!", "Ha! Ha! Ha!" & "Systems of Romance" - on CD in Japan... Following on from previous Metamatic Updates (04.03.2006, 18.03.2006, 26.04.2006 & 29.05.2006), I've been advised that all three of Ultravox's Island albums ("Ultravox!", "Ha! Ha! Ha!" and "Systems of Romance") will be made available in special 'mini LP' sleeves from Japan - these are set to be similar in design to the special edition CDs which were created a few years ago for "Metamatic", "The Garden", "The Golden Section" and "In Mysterious Ways".

以前、こちらで質問したユニオンの特典付日本盤紙ジャケ3枚セットですが、 アマゾンで見る限りUK盤と同内容と判断したのでユニオンに予約しました。 歴史的作品群が届くのが楽しみです！ 今度は延期されませんように。
>>邪外さん せっかくお教えいただいたグレゴリアンですが、アマゾンから発送遅れの メールが何度も届いたあげく、本日「どの仕入先からも入手できないことが 判明」メールが来てしまいました。感想を書く気満々だったのですが…。
ドラムをたたいてないのは残念ですね・・・
