Midge Ure Discusses Ultravox's "Vienna"

Midge Ure reflected on the creation of Ultravox's hit single "Vienna," describing its initial conception as potentially too lengthy, slow, and boring for a mainstream audience. Ure noted that the inclusion of a viola solo contributed to its unconventional structure, which he felt was contrary to the typical characteristics of a successful single. Despite these perceived drawbacks, the song achieved significant success. Originally reported by MusicRadar.
