Rage in Eden, released in 1981, is the fifth album by British band Ultravox, and the second of the band's most-recognizable incarnation, fronted by Midge Ure.

[edit] Production and style

Co-produced by Conny Plank, Rage in Eden features what some fans of the band consider their most creative and experimental phase. This record was met with severe critics from certain members of the press because of its polished and almost-overproduced instrumentation.

[edit] Track listing

All songs written by Midge Ure, Billy Currie, Chris Cross and Warren Cann.
