Midge Ure wrote "Answers to Nothing", words and music, and made it the title track of his second solo album, which Chrysalis released in August 1988 as his first record since Ultravox fell apart. The Scottish singer wrote, produced and recorded the album's songs himself over ten months in the 24-track studio he kept at home.
That doesn't mean he played everything. Ure sings lead here, but he brought in Mark King on bass and Mark Brzezicki on drums, with Robbie Kilgore adding extra keyboards, and handed the tapes to Bob Clearmountain to mix.
