Oh Vienna, brings back memories of working a Sullom Voe Oil terminal in Shetland and many missed hours of sleep.

Biography clip from the All Music Guide, the best guide on music on the Internet:
In 1985, Ultravox was put on hiatus and Ure began to pursue a full-time solo career. Recorded entirely by Ure, his 1985 solo debut, The Gift, launched the number one single "If I Was," as well as the minor hits "That Certain Smile" and "Call of the Wild." The following year, he recorded the final Ultravox album; in 1987, the band broke up and he began recording his second solo album. The resulting record, 1988's Answers to Nothing, was less successful than The Gift in the U.K., yet it charted in the U.S., which is something Ure's previous album failed to do. Three years later, Ure released his third album, Pure; while it didn't do any business in America, the album featured the Top 20 British hit "Cold, Cold Heart." He attempted a comeback in 1996 with Breathe, which went ignored by both the American and British markets. After being released in his native U.K. in 1998, Answers to Nothing followed in mid-2000, as well as a soundtrack effort for the critically acclaimed 1998 drama-comedy starring Jon Cryer, Went to Coney Island. Move Me appeared on Koch in fall 2001. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Not a lot.
Here's wikipedia's entry:
1984's successful Lament (including the international hit "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes") was the last to feature the "classic" line-up. Warren Cann was asked to leave Ultravox at the beginning of sessions for their U-Vox LP in 1986. After that album's mediocre performance in the charts Ure decided to leave, prompting Cross to do the same. Billy Currie and Robin Simon reunited in 1989 as the short-lived Humania, performing live shows but never making a release until 2006, when Billy released a Humania-recorded album, Sinews of the Soul. Billy reformed Ultravox again in 1992 with Tony Fenelle to record Revelation, and later Sam Blue replaced Tony, lending his voice to their final release, Ingenuity (1996).
