Steven Wilson remixes Ultravox's 1984 album Lament

As he did with similar deluxe box sets for Vienna , Rage In Eden and Quartet , Steven Wilson has remixed Ultravox 's 1984 album Lament for an eight-disc deluxe edition box set to celebrate the album's 40th anniversary, which will be released through Chrysalis Records on September 6.

As well as brand new 5.1 and stereo remixes by Wilson, the new box set features 72 tracks, 45 of them previously unreleased, which includes a remix of the original analogue recording, all the singles, the B-sides, remixes and rarities for the 1984 album, as well as an unreleased 1984 concert and a disc of 1980s style extended remixes from Wilson, Moby and more. You can see the full tracklisting below.

The set, which is also available as a 5LP deluxe vinyl edition and as a 2 album half-speed master, comes housed in a 12" x 12" box with a 20-page booklet featuring a new essay with new interviews and previously unseen photos and a replica 1984 tour programme. All formats have been designed replicating designer Peter Saville’s original black-print-on-black-card artwork.

Lament was the fourth album of the Midge Ure era, and the last to feature drummer Warren Cann until 2012's reunion album Brilliant . Having worked with Conny Plank and George Martin, the band optd to produce Lament themselves. The album was a huge success, featuring big hits in the guitar-driven One Small Day , the Cold War paranoia of Dancing With Tears In My Eyes and the brooding title track.

A one-off, limited edition Blu-ray Atmos miox of the album will be available through Super Deluxe Edition.

Ultravox's longstanding bass player Christopher Cross died in April aged 71 .
