Ultravox - Moments From Eden (CD EP + 10" Red Vinyl Pack) (Midge Ure)

New item. Released 2011.

Moments from Eden is a document of the band's 2010 reunion tour. The product itself is a combined  transparent red coloured 10" vinyl and 4-track CD EP and a 10" booklet printed on specialised paper. Tracks include new live recordings of the classic Ultravox songs "New Europeans", "White China", "Love's Great Adventure" and "Herr X"--a special version of Mr X, with Warren Cann vocalising in German.
 

The collectors edition of the Ultravox EP "Moments From Eden"comprises a 10" vinyl and cd ep that can only be described as a piece of art.The music comprises 20 minutes of extra tracks from the second European leg of the "Return To Eden" tour.The first leg was captured for posterity on the 2010 live release Return to Eden.That was great to finally get a full Ultravox concert on cd and dvd.
Thus the tracks released on this EP are songs added to the tour for Europe.As always they are well performed and recorded.It's a real treat for fans to have a live version of "Mr.X-Herr X",the atmospheric track from the Vienna: Remastered Definitive Edition album.The three other tracks are also most welcome,"New Europeans" is a personal favourite.But it is the package,the quality of paper and printing and the heavyweight vinyl that comes with this release and has me in awe!
The 10 inch gatefold sleeve has the cd mounted inside on a foam stopper and the glowing red record is enclosed in a nice paper sleeve.There is also an 8 page artbook with graphics for each of the songs on the EP.

Whilst there is not a large amount of music included here it is the actual product you hold in your hands that this release is about.

It would look very boring on an ipod screen!
