684.0. "Ultra Vivid Scene" by DASXPS::SASCHROEDER (I'm hummin' happy...) Fri Jun 01 1990 08:20

    
    
      I picked up an album by these guys (or rather this guy) the other
     day. I think the name of the album is "Rough". There's some real
     good music on it. Lately I've been hearing two other songs by this
     "band" and neither of them are on the album I have. One of the
     songs is called "3 Stars" and is great.  I was wondering what the
     title of the album this song is off of, and just how many albums
     does this band have out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
     in advance.

    Ultra Vivid Scene are based around one guy, Kurt Ralske.  They had
    their debut album about '88 (just called Ultra vivid Scene) which
    was pretty good.  Lots of synthesized rock, though it started to
    mellow out towards the end.  However, tracks like `She Screamed'
    and `The Mercy Seat' (not to be confused with the Nick Cave song
    of the same name) are very good indeed.  A few weeks ago, they 
    released their second Album, `Joy - 1967 -1990' which is a bit
    rockier than the first, but quite good. The track `3 Stars' comes
    from this album.  Hope this helps somewhat.

         Thanks! I'll be looking for it over here in the States.
        
    re.2 -
    
         On the album I have it lists only one guy (the guy mentioned
         in re.1). I would imagine for touring he "rents" a band.
    
    
         Anyways, thanks to both of you for the info.
