It reminds me a bit of Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart video with the demon eyes theme although they're green in the Ultravox video rather than white. I quite like it: it's one of those slightly weird early/mid 80s videos.”

Such a shame we won't get the brilliant 'Hymn' by Ultravox. It was featured 3 times on TOTP's. The video's on YT

..and on TOTP's. The audio's out of sync though.

Did you notice that they played an ethereal chime as a sort of wake-up sound?

Some album tracks ISTR but why bother when you have arguably the finest white soul voice in Daryl Hall?

I'm sure he sings on album tracks. Not sure about singles.
If anybody doesn't already have it go to Amazon or wherever and get Hall's solo LP, Three Hearts in the Happy-Ending Machine.
