This Volume was inspirited by a recent post of Post-Punk Monk (https://postpunkmonk.com/2020/08/24/rec ... om-sweden/), which made me wonder how much I have in my collection on Midge Ure as a producer. So again a thematic compilation.
Since the theme is about the artist/singer/producer/writer Midge Ure this time I have pull up the period to 1978-1992. Besides being a member of Rich Kids, Thin Lizzy, Visage and Ultravox, he went solo, did duets, and produced a wide range of artists. This Volume features an anthology of twenty-two songs produced, written and/or sung by Midge Ure.
Specially in the early eighties Midge Ure was very productive as producer for bands and artists like Modern Man, Messengers, Philip Lynott, Strasse, Snips, Visage and The Atrix or did one of productions for Kelvin Blacklock, Zaine Griff, Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel, Cold Fish (also known as Suchi and Corect Spelling) and Ronny to name some.
Under the production alias Otto Flake Jr., he worked on some ZTT releases, especially known for the Glenn Gregory & Claudia Brücken release “When Your Heart Runs Out Of Time”.
