''Quartet'', released in 1982, is the sixth album by British NewWaveMusic band Music/{{Ultravox}}. Produced by longtime [[Music/TheBeatles Beatles]] collaborator George Martin rather than longtime producer Conny Plank, the album moves away from the darker direction of ''Music/RageInEden'' and back towards the more artsy and poetic stylings of ''Music/{{Vienna}}''. According to frontman Music/MidgeUre, the reason for the change in producer was because they wanted to take a bigger risk on ''Quartet'', fearing that another Plank-produced album would be too safe of a move.

''Quartet'', released in 1982, is the sixth album by British NewWaveMusic band Music/{{Ultravox}}. Produced by longtime [[Music/TheBeatles Beatles]] collaborator George Martin rather than longtime producer Conny Plank, the album moves away from the darker direction of ''Music/RageInEden'' and back towards the more artsy and poetic stylings of ''Music/{{Vienna}}''.
The album also presents a further refining of the band's sound, incorporating greater elements of SynthPop while toning down the more abstract elements of the band's music. The result can best be described as a more accessible rendition of both ''Vienna'' and ''Rage in Eden''.
''Quartet'' was once again a commercial success for Ultravox, peaking at No. 6 on the UK Albums charts and No. 61 on the Billboard charts and being certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry. The album produced four singles: "Reap the Wild Wind", "Hymn", "Visions in Blue", and "We Came to Dance".
!!Tracklist:
[[AC: Stereo 1]]
# "Reap the Wild Wind" (3:49)
# "Serenade" (5:05)
# "Mine for Life" (4:44)
# "Hymn" (5:46)
[[AC: Stereo 2]]
# "Visions in Blue" (4:38)
# "When the Scream Subsides" (4:17)
# "We Came to Dance" (4:14)
# "Cut and Run" (4:18)
# "The Song (We Go)" (3:56)
!!''Give us this trope, all that you showed me'':
* DanceOfDespair: Implied to be the case in "We Came to Dance".
* DancingIsSeriousBusiness: The general attitude of "We Came to Dance". Among other things, the dancers' moves are dictated by a piper's whip.
* DesignStudentsOrgasm: A surrealist landscape of buildings against a gray backdrop is featured on the front cover, with lineart of a monument on the back, both designed by Peter Saville.
* LighterAndSofter: The songs on the album are noticeably lighter and more commercially accessible than those on ''Music/RageInEden'', both musically and lyrically. This is made apparent right out the gate with the peppy, upbeat opening track "Reap the Wild Wind" (itself the lightest track on the album). While songs like "Mine for Life", "We Came to Dance", and "Cut and Run" still dabble in darker subject matter, they're still nowhere near as dour as that of the songs on ''Rage in Eden''.
* [[ManicPixieDreamGirl Manic Pixie Dream Guy]]: The narrator of "Reap the Wild Wind".
-->You take my hand and give me your friendship\\
I'll take my time and show you my storyline\\
Give me adventure, I'll make the best of it\\
Take all you want to, leaving the rest behind
* MindScrew: This album continues the trend of the Midge Ure-fronted Ultravox penning songs with poetically abstract lyrics to the point of being difficult to interpret.
* NewSoundAlbum: ''Quartet'' introduces prominent elements of SynthPop in Ultravox's sound; previous albums still made heavy use of synths, but in a more artsy and progressive style compared to the rapid, rhythmic beats throughout ''Quartet''.
* NotChristianRock: Despite the heavy use of religious allusions in the tile and lyrics, "Hymn" is not meant to be an overtly religious song.
* RecordProducer: George Martin, best known as the man who produced most of Music/TheBeatles' albums (save for ''Music/LetItBe'').
* StepUpToTheMicrophone: Drummer Warren Cann delivers the spoken interlude in "We Came to Dance".
