Description

When British band Ultravox released their fourth studio album 'Vienna' in 1980, the addition of new lead singer Midge Ure marked a total change in direction from experimental post-rock to lushly orchestrated synth-pop. This week's guest, singer/songwriter Oscar Herrera (The Sleep of Reason, Black Tape For A Blue Girl), joins us as we explore this icely beautiful record that manages to be both cold-blooded and fierce at the same time. "This means nothing to me..."
