This fifteen-song debut EP shows the promise that Ultravox has. I am not a real Rock music type of person, but i have to admit ‘The Collection’ really is amazing. Ultravox’s debut, ‘The Collection’, does not fit easily into one genre. This is one of Ultravox best albums
I came to like Hymn (The Power and The Glory). In The Thin Wall the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. The Voice is another favourite of mine. Vienna is a bit different from Ultravox stereotypical stuff. Passing Strangers is the best music that I have heard from anyone in any area of music. The sound of Sleepwalk is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. Some of the arrangements found on The Collection are surprisingly edgy. Ultravox is hitting on all cylinders in All Stood Still. Visions In Blue - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of Ultravox. This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. One Small Day is simple, dignified and effective, Ultravox refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. You can find feelings on this piece of art. Lament is a striking and quite long song.
