Hi,
Well sorting through the Autechre marathon set list there's a quite a bit of John Foxx in there. He was also played at Aphex's Traffic Festival set. Anyways, I've been a fan of him for quite a while and it's good to see his old stuff FINALLY be played by DJs. He's rereleasing his (underrated classic) debut Metamatic in double CD format soon, aswell as playing the WHOLE of Metamatic and a lot of its B-sides live on a small tour soon.
Get into his stuff. Go see his shows. He's great.
Metamatic site Myspace
Check him out, Future Image.

Check out the rest of the metamatic B-Sides, I'm pretty sure you'll like Glimmer. Are you referring to the Metamatic vocal tracks? They may have vocals but they're still excellent.

And anyway Metamatic was released in 1980, so it's not like really cheesy Fairlight shit, it's cold Kraftwerky stuff.

going though an early 80's phase at the moment and just bought The Garden which is so ahead of its time!! Can't wait to get hold of Metamatic.
Cathedral Oceans sounds interesting, love the album title... anyone got this one?

Cathedral Oceans is one of the best ambient albums ever made. I would not even hesitate to buy it.

Metamatic is very different to The Garden... much more like Kraftwerk whereas The Garden I always see as a response to Midge Ure's Ultravox.
BTW there's three volumes of Cathedral Oceans - the 3rd has a really good DVD so I'm told, I really must invest in them.

Metamatic is such a great album.
In other news it looks like Ultravox have reformed and are doing a tour next year!

Yeah, Ure (unfortunately?). I can't see the Foxx-era Ultravox reforming though, I don't think Foxx himself would go there. :( oh well, he's still brilliant solo anyway. he puts out so much every year as well as doing usually several tours.
