Following the success of deluxe reissues of Vienna, Rage In Eden, and Quartet, Ultravox celebrates the 40th anniversary of Lament with a deluxe edition box set. This self-produced 1984 album delves into darker themes of paranoia, nuclear annihilation, and the Cold War's tensions. The eight-disc box set includes 72 tracks, 45 of which are previously unreleased. CD1 features the original 1984 album remastered, while CD2 offers a new stereo mix by Steven Wilson. CD3 presents an Extended Re-Mix with contributions from Moby, Blank & Jones, Wilson, and Midge Ure. CD4 compiles single mixes, B-sides, and rarities, and CD5 contains the 1984 extended re-mixes. CDs 6 and 7 showcase Ultravox's previously unreleased Set Movements concert from Hammersmith Odeon in 1984, split into two parts. The final disc, a DVD, includes a 5.1 surround sound mix of the album and B-sides by Steven Wilson, along with 24/96 Hi-Res audio of both the new and original mixes. Here you have the ultimate package of this power packed new wave classic. Lament remains a poignant, musically rich album, resonating with contemporary listeners even four decades later.
