John Foxx has been experimenting with electronics since the 1970s when he worked with the likes of Brian Eno and legendary Krautrock producer Conny Plank in the original line-up of Ultravox!. Described by Duran Duran as ‘the Velvet Underground of our generation’, early Ultravox! had a massive influence on the generation of acts that followed including Gary Numan and Simple Minds . His solo material, starting with 1980’s Metamatic album, has been namechecked as an influence by everyone from Aphex Twin to Leftfield; Afrika Bambataa to The Orb, as well as by a new wave of electronic acts such as The Soft Moon, Gazelle Twin and Matthew Dear, all of whom he’s recorded with in the last year. He"s also recently released the European Splendour EP with Jori Hulkkonen featuring a remix by David Lynch and followed that up with Empty Avenues with Belbury Circle on the Ghost Box label. Four albums in, his John Foxx And The Maths project with analogue synth specialist Benge, is arguably the most successful of his career so far.Released October 2013 on Metamatic.Track Listing:1 The Good Shadow2 Shatterproof3 He"s A Liquid4 The Running Man5 The Shadow Of His Former Self6 Hiroshima Mon Amour7 Interplay8 Burning Car9 Catwalk10 Just For A Moment
