Listen often before judging this one.......2002-08-02

Ok, so I will admit up front that I am a fan of the man, and have been for 20 years. Even so, when I first played this disc I was disappointed. It didn't sound the same as any of my other Midge Ure discs. I didn't run out my door and proclaim to all my neighbors "Midge Ure has a great new CD". It sounded darker, heavier, less sublime than his previous solo efforts. Instead I decided to play this one once a week for at least several months before I decided to rank it against his previous work. And I am glad I waited! This is really an exceptional piece of work. The tunes aren't instantly hummable (which may be why some people have set it back on their shelves or pawned their copies off on Ebay), but once they become familiar, they are clearly identifiable as "by Midge Ure". "You Move Me" was a wise choice to open the disc, as it is almost hummable on first play (kind of like "Breathe"). "Spielberg Sky" is pure Midge - what a powerful chorus!! "Words" is probably the most instantly accessible tune on the disc, and one that showcases Midge's incredible vocal range. If "Strong doesn't put shivers down your spine and change your mood to one of introspection, you are emotionless! The list goes on. "Alone" is reminiscent of Ultravox; "Monster" could be a U2 instrumental; "Absolution Sometime!" and "The Refugee Song" are Ure/Mitchell collaborations, and live up to expectations. I think "Four" is the best track on the disc - deeply heartfelt and upbeat. The disc ends with soft sounds of "Somebody", leaving you with the need to hear more.

As usual, Midge continues to stretch his songwriting and redefine himself. As such, it is difficult to instantly like each new presentation - you need to let them grow on you. But to me, those are the one's that endure as 'favorites', and not those that sound the same as last year's model. Those of you who quickly put this one back on the shelf, dust it off and give it a few more spins!

IM HOPING CRYOGENICS WORKS AND MIDGE CONSIDERS IT........2002-03-25

talk/type about endless amounts of pure talent.midge has it/can do it all.writes his own songs,plays the instruments on his songs,produces his own songs,AND DOESNT NEED THE USE OF STUDIO GIMMICKTRY/LIPSYNCING MACHINES.actually,midge is better live than recorded.his live shows are top rate(although ive only been lucky enough to witness his''ANSWERS''tour).i have all of midges live performances,including his ultravox years.it was during these ground breaking years midge began to really shine.he single handedly breathed life into a decade full of 1 hit wonders.there are very few who can match midge vocally(steve perry,lou graham are a couple that have his vocal power).and in my opinion,his skill on the ax is underrated.his song writing is very deep and emotional.you wont find any catch phrases/cliches.and the arrangements are refreshingly original.no follow the lemmings here.his skillfull way of using different sounds on percussion is what i think sets him apart.100000(much less 1000)word maximum is far from enough words to adequately complement mr.ure.and i dont foresee the pre teen driven muSICK industry wisening up to what real talent is.i am however greatfull i found out before i was caught up/hynotized in the MTV mind numbing machine.

A welcome surprise!.......2002-02-19

I'm really not familliar with Midge Ure's work, but the combination of a co-worker always telling me how great Ultravox is/was plus a local College radio DJ playing a few great-sounding tracks from this disc prompted me to buy this excellent CD.

I have to admit, I was expecting it to sound a little retro, but it doesn't at all. Even comparing this to the new Depeche Mode or New Order CDs from '01 (both of which I like), with Midge, you never think to yourself "oh, this is very 80's" or "Oh, here's an 80's guy trying to sound hip." like I did with the DM and NO CD's. Midge really sounds like he's at the top of his game with cool, morphing song structures, a big, glossy pop-production, excellent musicianship and great lyrics. Midge's singing deserves special notice. His expressive power and technical ability is really quite stunning.

Ultimately, this CD is a rare breed, a type of album which almost doesn't exist anymore. All of the songs are tuneful, and it better times would have been huge radio-ready hit singles. But, being accesible doesn't mean it's compromised or a "sell-out" in any way. It just seems like the choice is music is inceasingly either MTV-Pop-junk, older quality stuff, or really obscure experimental music... once in a while, an album like this come along which really doesn't fall into any of those categories and is simply great music. I love it.
