Ultravox – The Artist/s
Ultravox (earlier styled as Ultravox!) were a British new wave band, formed in London in April 1974 as Tiger Lily. Between 1980 and 1986, they scored seven Top Ten albums and seventeen Top 40 singles in the UK, the most successful of which was their 1981 hit “Vienna”.
Vienna- The Song
Vienna is a song by British new wave band Ultravox from their 1980 fourth studio album of the same name. It was released as the album’s third single on 9 January 1981 by Chrysalis Records and features Midge Ure singing the lead vocal. The song is regarded as a staple of the synth-pop genre that was popularised in the early 1980s. The new wave ballad was also performed at the 1985 Live Aid concert in Wembley Stadium. It remains Ultravox’s signature song, being their most commercially successful release and is often performed live by Ure in solo performances.
The Grand Piano – The Shape
This record has been cut into a grand piano as seen on the video supporting this records release and on the picture record sleeve. The piano is an acoustic, stringed musical instrument invented in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori around the year 1700 (the exact year is uncertain), in which the strings are struck by hammers. It is played using a keyboard, which is a row of keys (small levers) that the performer presses down or strikes with the fingers and thumbs of both hands to cause the hammers to strike the strings
