rolfWas macht ein John Foxx heute eigentlich so? Nach seinem Ausstieg hat er noch die ein oder andere Solo-Lp gemacht,die ich aber alle nicht kenne ,seit gefühlten 20 Jahren habe ich seinen Namen nicht mer gehört.Wer weiß was?
er scheint sehr aktiv zu sein ( im Mai tourt er durch Australien ), von seiner myspace-seite:
John Foxx pioneered synthesizer music as the original founder and lead singer of Ultravox (they recorded three albums – ULTRAVOX!, HA! HA! HA!, SYSTEMS OF ROMANCE) and then as a solo artist, beginning with his surreal, influential METAMATIC album in 1980 and continuing on with the dark CRASH AND BURN in 2003. In the next 18 months John Foxx is releasing a series of new electronic albums, plus his entire back catalogue will also be re-issued including many previously unheard tracks and alternative versions.
In 2006 he’s recorded the critically acclaimed instrumental album TINY COLOUR MOVIES which is inspired by strange fragments of Super 8 film that John has seen over the years. This was followed by a ltd edition album, LIVE FROM A ROOM (AS BIG AS A CITY) which is a collection of songs recorded live in a studio, including new versions of ‚My Sex‘ and ‚Underpass‘, plus several tracks from CRASH AND BURN. On November 6 Metamatic Records are releasing his new electronic rock album, FROM TRASH, which John wrote and recorded with longterm collaborator Louis Gordon. The album (as with all his recent material) will be available through Universal in the shops and online via itunes www.amazon.co.uk www.sisterray.co.uk www.musicnonstop.co.uk www.darla.com (label in America) www.amazon.com.
Over the next few months look out for John Foxx art exhibitions, a DVD of his Cathedral Oceans project (check out www.officialcathedraloceans.com), film festival appearances and further collaborations with Robin Guthrie (ex-Cocteau Twins) and Perspects (Detroit electro artist).
