Ultra is een Nederlandse postpunkbeweging uit de vroege jaren 1980.
In tegenstelling tot veel buitenlandse postpunkbewegingen wordt er door de personen en bands geëxperimenteerd met onder andere speelgoedinstrumenten, kettingzagen, vals gestemde gitaren, etc. De naam is ontleend aan een serie concerten in jongerensociëteit Oktopus, aan de Amsterdamse Keizersgracht, die tussen september 1980 en maart 1981 onder de naam Ultra werd georganiseerd door Wally van Middendorp (van de band Minny Pops en het Plurex platenlabel)
Rob Scholte (van de band The Young Lions) en
Harold Schellinx (van de band The Young Lions en redacteur van tijdschrift Vinyl). De beweging heeft uitdrukkelijk een kunstzinnige uitstraling en veel van de deelnemers zitten dan ook op kunstacademies. De beweging was min of meer gelieerd aan het 'moderne muziek' tijdschrift Vinyl, dat niet alleen als spreekbuis voor de Ultra-beweging fungeerde, maar ook de muziek van diverse Ultrabands uitbracht op de flexidisk, een gratis grammofoonplaatje dat als extra bij elk nummer van het tijdschrift verscheen.
De aandacht richtte zich voornamelijk op Amsterdamse bands, hoewel het een geheel Nederlands verschijnsel was. Zo kwamen enkele bands met een ander en origineel geluid uit de 'provincie'. Voorbeelden hiervan zijn Mekanik Kommando (Nijmegen) en Nasmak (Eindhoven). Muziek werd veelal op compactcassette uitgebracht. Daarnaast verscheen vinyl meestal in rare formaten. Het belangrijkste overzichtswerk van de beweging is de C-90 cassette Ultra op het Amsterdamse label "LeBeL PERIOD".

Hans-a-plast was one of the most successful early German punk bands, one of the first featuring a female singer. After playing on several early festivals in Hamburg and Berlin, the self-released debut Hans-a-plast appeared 1979 and was very successful. It sold so well that the major labels, who had dropped punk after the first unsuccessful German "punk" albums in 1977/78, got interested again. Members of Hans-a-plast founded the No Fun label in 1980, were they also released the follow-up Hans-a-plast 2. After constant touring, their third and last album Ausradiert was released in 1983, again critically acclaimed, but this time without much success -- at that time, the pop side of NDW had already won.Bettina Schröder (drums, vocals)

Discussions of the "quiet is the new loud" aesthetic of bands like Belle & Sebastian and Kings of Convenience typically cite primal influences like Nick Drake, Donovan, and the Velvet Underground, but rarely if ever mentioned is a duo that predated them all -- listening to Chad & Jeremy many decades on, it now seems almost as if they pioneered an entire genre, their string-sweetened, pastoral, and hopelessly twee acoustic pop anticipating so much of the sound in vogue at the turn of the century to follow. Collectables' Yesterday's Gone compiles 18 tracks from Chad & Jeremy's chart heyday of 1963-1966, although it suffers by forgoing material from the twosome's subsequent LPs, Distant Shores and The Ark. Leading off with the gorgeously wistful "A Summer Song," the disc weaves together their biggest hits and also features a few unlikely covers, including the traditional favorite "Dirty Old Town" and a suitably autumnal if otherwise baffling rendition of the Sinatra chestnut "A Very Good Year." A solid introduction, with fidelity a notch or two higher than the standard Collectables release. - All Music

In the beginning of the 80s there was a dutch alternative music magazine called VINYL, and (let's say) in the first 20 issues there was a flexi disc included with music from Dutch bands as bands from foreign countries aswell (like VIRGIN PRUNES, EYELESS IN GAZA, CABARET VOLTAIRE etc). This collection includes ALL tracks, made by Dutch bands, which were published on these flexi's and they were part of the ULTRA (postpunk) movement. Most of the bands came from Nijmegen, Eindhoven, 's-Hertogenbosch and Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
