That was beautiful ... ❤

Arp oddisey unique sound, billy currie nailed it!!

Now this is what you call talent!!!

Eleven years on, and I still keep coming back to this. Having been at the gig, having the 7 inch with the live albums, I can appreciate the work and love that went into this cover. I will keep coming back for years to come. Thank you so much for sharing your art.

My 1979 Odyssey arrives this week. I will officially be in heaven!

Creeps up on us all ! You get so used to the old footage it's a real xhock when reality kicks in and you realise how much time has passed since those videos were made.

Absolutely spot on sound & playing from Paul on this cover.

Billy Currie is my imaginary friend.

what a trip ???? 2.30min Synth/Solo heaven...???? Billy Currie Visage "s Fade to Grey Pioneer/Ultravox Legend

cool synths

gads, fabulous

Yeah, cool stuff

Nice post Phil....not seen a few of the phoyos in the video before.

This is so good that I'm not sure the CR-78 and Polymoog 280a are with the Odyssey to real. I might be wrong.

All instrumentation is from software. The CR78 is made up from single samples, the CP30 was a Pro53 as was the Voxhumana. Odyssey solo was done on a GForce Oddity vst synth.

bang on steve it it mr currie.

An absolutely brilliant recreation of the solo. I would defy anyone to tell this apart from Billy Curries original.

Lol Its the original and no cover

Will you be going to see Ultravox on tour later this tear ? Poor Mr Currie has not aged well ! I was pretty shocked when I saw some recent video of the band,

One of my fav G.N. tunes. I always knew , it was Billy Currie from Ultravox playing this solo, but was it really a Pearlman synth and not a Solina ??? I wonder....

Yamaha CP30 Piano and Polymoog 280a Voxhumana played by Chris Payne and the strings in the verse was Elka Rhapsody with the solo played on an ARP Odyssey mkii by Billie Currie. The Solina was a string/brass ensemble instrument made by ARP too, but not capable of creating this solo sound.

Where i could find this particulary edition? Because form The Pleasure Principles regular album is the Live version, but this a kind of studio version.

Billy Currie is a genius!

where's this fantastic version from, cause its far crisper than the live version for obvious reasons. Did they record a studio version of this cover?

Nailed it.

It sends you into space, i could listen to an album of just these solos, i think he would have been better with Ash Ra or Pink Floyd late 70s floyd got boring

was numans music first ..currie played it remember

I know that, but this version is my cover and not the original as stated by the person who posted.

The song up to this point is at best mediocre, but when the solo kicks in -- wow! Instant magic.

this is clearly Billy Currie Playing this Part you can hear his typical Ultravox Screaming Synthi Sound Trademark Gary Numann was always a big Fan of Billy Curries Keyboard Skills he openly admitted this way back in the late 70s..... ? He ask Billy to join him on Tour 1979 & Play Synthis on Cars and Tracks I belive.he was involved too ....? You can see Billiy on the " Cars " Video ...

It is not. This is Paul Kingsley Hurst's cover version. It's virtually note-perfect, so no surprise it "fooled" you.

It's Mr Currie isn't it ?
