Really? He was lead singer of Ultravox. Numan was the breakthrough for synth bands and he wasn't synth master either. Clarke, Gore,Wilder,Currie,Dolby,Payne, Jones, JJ,Held.....these people pissed on Ure from a great height.

6:25 Ultravox had a 4 minute warning, Depeche Mode only had 2 minutes on Construction Time Again

Twenty keyboards visually looks better on stage than a Apple Mac and midi keyboard.

What a wonderful time capsule.

This guy helped to organise Live Aid

He says he’s not the band keyboard player, but what he did there that off the cuff playing was totally expert. This is a very interesting video. Thanks, thumbs up!

Brilliant thanks for posting this, I can remember this lot when they came out ....... I want an Oscar ! ......(The synth not the crappy gold trophy) ! Nice one.

Why on earth did they interview Midge Ure about the synths and not Billy Currie?

Though I agree with you, I recall that Billy wasn't into doing interviews much. To his credit, Midge was quite knowledgeable with regards to synths, though it would be far more fascinating to hear Billy talk about his Odyssey, Elka and also the later synths he used such as the PPG and the OSCar .

The digital era was started . And 4 years later the original bands replaced with preset pushers .

Analogue synth music was SO much better, I really mourn the rise of digital technology it seemed to end up stifling creativity

Funny how the vst version of the Oscar is far far far more reliable

When synths where synths and we use to get the most out of them. Not like today and do nothing with them. Old synths are the best.
