Slow Motion EP

Slow Motion EP was a 2x7" and 7" single released in 1981 by Ultravox. The release by Island records came on the back of the group's new found commercial success with the Vienna album (in particular the title track), although the band line-up for the tracks on the EP featured group founder John Foxx as lead vocalist and songwriter, as opposed to Midge Ure who had taken over in 1980.

Tracks Slow Motion and Quiet Men had both been released as singles in their own right in 1978 although neither had made any impact on the charts. The EP entered the UK singles charts at no.35, going up to its peak of 33 the following week.

Slow Motion, Quiet Men and Dislocation had first featured on the Systems of Romance album (1978) and Hiroshima Mon Amour on Ha! Ha! Ha! (second album, 1977). Quiet Men was different version to the album however, and has since been named as "7" version". Hiroshima Mon Amour is also a shorter alternative mix of the album track.
