Following the success in recent years of deluxe editions of Ultravox’s Vienna, Rage In Eden, Quartet and Lament albums, Chrysalis Records will now release a deluxe edition boxset of The Collection, the band’s hugely successful 1984 compilation.

The Collection features the 14 singles Ultravox released between 1980 and 1984. Upon its release it sold over two million copies worldwide and went triple platinum in the UK.

The most notable tracks featured on The Collection include the iconic Vienna, the anti-nuclear war anthem Dancing With Tears In My Eyes, new wave synth driven classics like All Stood Still, Hymn and The Voice, and the single that was recorded specifically for the original compilation, Love’s Great Adventure.

This newly remastered compilation has been expanded to a 4CD/two Blu-ray deluxe edition. The set includes a new Collection II with a further 14 singles, alternative and unreleased versions from 1986 to 2024, 10 newly created 80s style 12″ extended versions which Ultravox were known for, mixed by Midge Ure, Steven Wilson, Blank & Jones amongst others, as well as all the band’s B-sides collected together for the first time, and two Blu-ray discs with over four hours of footage featuring all the band’s groundbreaking promotional videos, alternative versions and a collection of their appearances on BBC TV from Top Of The Pops and live performances.

The Collection is released on 5 December via Chrysalis Records.

"Eggshell" is the haunting and expansive new solo single from Isaac Howlett, the charismatic singer/songwriter behind the internationally-renowned UK synth pop band, Empathy Test.

After two number one singles on the German Alternative Chart (DAC) with "House of Cards" and "Endless Night", Isaac turned to Daniel Myer (Liebknecht, Architect, Covenant, etc.) to produce his next tracks, giving them a darker, punchier edge than his previous efforts.

"Eggshell can be seen as a companion-piece to Empathy Test's "Demons", says Howlett, "and inhabits a similar realm, atmospherically. Written around the same time, it's one of the few songs I've written that's told from someone else's perspective - it's the response of the silent partner in Demons."

If that's not enough to capture the imagination of Empathy Test's legion of loyal fans, the fact that this perhaps the closest Howlett has come compositionally to Empathy Test, will no doubt cement Howlett's solo work as a viable alternative in the absence of anything new from the aforementioned duo.

"Eggshell" already has some buzz around it, having already been performed live several times by Howlett at his solo shows earlier in 2025, but this September-December he will also be performing it, and the follow-up "Ghost of the Tsunami" with the band on their biggest European tour to date.
