	Midge Ure: The Gift [Bonus Tracks] : Music Reviews : Rolling Stone
		Ure's is a suave sensibility, often very Ferry, but lacking Bryan's underlying hysteria and extravagant high irony.
		Midge Ure's identification with his listeners blends with a kind of neo-Yeatsian paranoia on "Wastelands," which owes more thematically to "Baba O'Riley" than to T.S. Eliot.
		Ure's uncharacteristically dark vision is of a lad alone in his room, psychically detached as he takes solace and comfort in his favorite records.

	Midge Ure : interview
		Midge Ure has had about a dozen careers in one.
		Such statements are not exactly from the Oasis or Razorlight schools of arrogance, even though Midge Ure has achieved a tad more than most musicians even dare to allow themselves to dream about.
		Nevertheless, Ure - real first name James, which got shortened to Jim, reversed to Mij and then evolved to Midge - is happy to put his career down to a series of happy accidents.

		Bob Geldof bounds through the tall, mahogany, double doors in the Harold Pratt House, an old-money mansion on New York's Park Avenue, rushing from one microphone to another without missing a syllable.
		Midge Ure is speaking about the Band Aid record "Do They Know It's Christmas," which he co-wrote with Bob Geldof.
		Considering that upon its 1984 release it promptly became the best-selling single in U.K. chart history, one might think Ure would speak about it with more reverence, but this type of candor is what makes his new autobiography If I Was...

	Move Me, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
		Move Me finds Midge Ure moving seamlessly into the role of a pop/rock elder statesman without sacrificing any of the emotion and fervor of his earlier recordings, both as a solo artist and a member of Ultravox.
		Synthesizers, electronics, and guitars play a prominent role on every track, however, Ure is able to sidestep the 1980s retro label that many of his contemporaries get stuck in by striking an aural balance between taste and overkill.
		This is not necessarily the album to introduce the uninitiated to Midge Ure, but it is a praiseworthy addition to his catalog, and gradually grows on the listener.

		Midge Ures compassion and soulful emotions come through unadulterated and unabstructed.
		If you were an Ultravox fan, and liked Midge's 1985 "The Gift", but then your faith was shaken by his next three wildly uneven albums -- if you heard him at his wretched, overblown, maudlin worst -- and cringed -- thinking his best years were over, and were about to give up on him altogether....
		When you first listen to "Move Me" you will wonder, stunned, if this is the same Midge Ure who released such saccharine, unlistenable tripe in the 90's.
