About this album

Quartet is Ultravox at their most focused and accessible, tightening the band’s sleek electronic sound into a sharply written synth-pop album. Released in 1982, it was produced by George Martin, whose polished touch gave the record extra clarity and lift without dulling the group’s dramatic edge. The album balances icy arrangements with strong melodies and strong hooks, led by standout singles such as Reap the Wild Wind and Hymn. Quartet helped confirm Ultravox as one of the key British bands of the early 1980s, bridging art-rock ambition with pop discipline and leaving a lasting mark on the era’s electronic mainstream.
