The 1984 release of their fifth studio album, ‘Rage in Eden’, changed their career. This album showed the band’s maturation into adult soundscapes, blending emotive lyrics with beautiful synth melodies.

Favourite ULTRAVOX tracks are on “Rage in Eden”. “The Voice” and “Promises” demonstrate their ability to create atmospheric, emotional music.
