He says he’s not the band keyboard player, but what he did there that off the cuff playing was totally expert. This is a very interesting video. Thanks, thumbs up!
'Errr ya not being a keyboard player!" Midge CAN play keys well enough to filling many chords on stage I;ve seen him do it and guitar and sing and write songs. He is WAY more talented than he even thinks!
The bass line on All Stood Still blew my mind completely when I was 8 years old. It still gets me excited to this very day. My synth obsession is out of control!
@@Anthony-dv4ww Looks great. I'm sure you'll make great sounds with that microphone as it appears to be of high quality. The main thing I think is enjoy making music. An old friend taught me it's all about the mixdown and arrangement after the song writing and quality of the performance. Hope you're having fun!
@jamessisson3703: That very bassline is replicated (but in a different key) in the guitar MID of a certain "girl group" of "the noughties". I'm hoping someone with the melodic creativity will bring the two together and create something amazing with the ideas.
Really? He was lead singer of Ultravox. Numan was the breakthrough for synth bands and he wasn't synth master either. Clarke, Gore,Wilder,Currie,Dolby,Payne, Jones, JJ,Held.....these people pissed on Ure from a great height.
As a German I am not very familiar with the various English dialects, but could it be that the Scottish dialect is very similar to the Liverpool dialect (it reminds me a lot of the dialect of Beatle's interviews when Midge is talking)?
There are also many dialects in Scotland, but I think it's the influence of Ireland that affects the accents of the cities on the West coast, in Scotland and England.
midge lived in the greatest era for synth technology and used them musically , every follup up synth was merely a variation of what came out those days
@@partsunknown426:40 Looks like a PPG on top of a CS80 on top of maybe a piano to me. The other video the making of had a CS80 on it and there was a Prophet hiding underneath the PPG. Maybe a Ptophet T8?

Midge has some freaky nails 1:10
"Soo-uunds". Scots :D. Never liked "Vienna" but "The voice" and "Hymn" are outstanding.
64 memories 🤣🤣

Scottish accent level 99
Billy Currie would have been better in Tangerine Dream! The music would not have been so basic. His creativity would have leveled upwards.
I would like to know what piano sound they used
Twenty keyboards visually looks better on stage than a Apple Mac and midi keyboard.
6:25 Ultravox had a 4 minute warning, Depeche Mode only had 2 minutes on Construction Time Again
The best music of the 80's

"where does it all end midge".....(just there).
Ah, the Yamaha DX7 Mk 1 such a great synth.
Them The human league and Depeche Mode made me start buying synth's, thanks guys.
This one still has the tagger on it. It can't be played. Don't even look at it.
Saw that tour live.
Where does it all end Midge? There 👈. Brilliant 😂

Oh yeah when midge urine was such a specialist with knowledge of synths NOT. Tho the oscar was and is a peach
very special man
Hé was real the synthesizer man from the 80's with Ultravox and solo 💯 great rare voice

Where is the whole video? I would love to see the complete documentary!
Back in these days aftertouch keyboards where on the edge - today ? Profit greed killed it
Why does every video that ever played on MTV look like visions from your worst nightmare?
This guy helped to organise Live Aid
Real talent... I adore the music of ultravox
So what did Midge have against Yamaha?
Nothing! You just can’t advertise on the BBC, hence he avoided the brand name.
@SuzanneMertes Other synths are available 😅
Analogue synth music was SO much better, I really mourn the rise of digital technology it seemed to end up stifling creativity

I should add that Midge Ure is from the West.
@@BlackRoomArts Ah thx. That makes sense! the irish influence on the west coast. And Liverpool is at the northwest of england ... ok. :-)
@@ringi1970 My pleasure.

"Oh, that's a PPG(?)," all $17K of it. In the early 80's you could buy a house for that.
is that a second one, on top of the CS-80 (maybe cs-60) on top of the piano?
@@partsunknown42 That looks more like an Oberheim OB-series.

Muse is today’s Ultravox.
Ultravox in there prime, obviously owning every monster synth ever made in the 80s 🤯
Their prime is the foxx era.
their
@@LreldgePreferred their post-Foxx era
Aye.
DX-7 nailed it.
The RUclips automatic subtitles on this are hilarious 😂
Ah didnae git ony subthingies, bit then, ah unnerston proper English, so ah dae.
...after all these years I get to see this ...RUclips thank you

Also plays Jean Michel Jarre

Not even close.
Funny how the vst version of the Oscar is far far far more reliable
The OSCar - has that classic sound
I like ‘em too ☘️ 🧼

Oh shut up. Unless you are joking.
ok
I recognise that DX7 Tubular bell sound! Do they know its Christmas!
TopGun Anthem.
DX7, the sound of the '80 👍😊
If i was
like the oscar.....
they kind of skipped over THE most used synth by ultravox on the first four albums - the elka rhapsody
They weren't using that at the time of the interview. Same with the Odyssey.
Never understood some digital synths. All of that tech just to replicate traditional instruments. If I wanted a steel drum sound I'd use a steel drum.
Twat!
3:28 Where does itall end Midge lol
it records seouuunds
The digital era was started . And 4 years later the original bands replaced with preset pushers .
