Metamatic Forums News and Announcements John Foxx news Transcribed MP3 voice message...

Transcribed MP3 voice message received from an indeterminate location in the UK today. 4.30 am Greenwich Mean Time. Sound quality somewhat muffled.

"Well, it's been a very good year. After that Beeb programme, electronic music finally got regarded as a proper genre. Just like Jack Russells, really - scruffs to Crufts. Satisfying.

"More things got done over these past couple of years than the 70's, 80's and 90's put together, all to do with Malins of course - so I've had to lock the fridge from the inside.

"But it was great meeting Ian Sinclair, performing live video with Karborn, back in Shoreditch with Benge, releases with this Robin Guthrie and that Steve Jansen, remixing Harold Budd and Rubin Garcia, working on a soundtrack or two with Steve d'Ag, great work as ever from Dallas, electric mixes from Louis, super 8mm and super website from Rob H, exhibiting in London and New York, getting films from Macoto, Alex, Ian, Jonathan, - plus working with the great Paul Daley, etc., etc. So something's got to go wrong yet. There's still enough time. Taken to wearing me crash helmet indoors.

"The body doubles help a bit with the workload. We've bought 25 and they're all staying with Malins. I wasn't kidding about Lifegrab inc.

"Malins is running a clinic in Brussels as I speak. Mission to re-brand hot air as eco-friendly. China's in the queue with a coal scuttle. Obama's right behind having a joke with BA. Malins is the wee one with the halo in the crib. I'm the one standing next to the ox - grey fur coat, chortling at Obama's joke - Smoke Fairies either side. You've all seen the photo.

"Tried to download a tropical lagoon holiday, but it's taking ages and a message about CPU keeps coming up. So I'm going to sit in the fridge 'cos it's warmer. Got me Avatar download, a synth manual or two and a nice electric shock machine for entertainment. Programmed the old molecules to reassemble on the 25th at 12 noon sharp around a large turkey dinner. Then it's back to the fridge 'till Easter.

"Have a wonderful time humans, signing off for another year.

"Foxx from the fridge".

I hope there's somebody around to keep a check on the fridge temperature.

OK, it's time for my annual bout of festive photoshop fun...

Have a great break John, and thankyou for the music.

Cunning plan that fridge - that's where the squirty cream is kept

Thanks for the year of interesting output John, have a good winter break while keeping all those other treasures on ice for us till the sun returns.
After the thaw I’m hoping you will successfully de-crystallise and resume the program of projecting our imagination into your worlds of electricity, be it gliding along avenues of analogue with Benge, flying us over shimmering pools of ghost music with Mr D’Agostino, or lulling us to sleep with tales of enchantment and romance around a midnight camp-fire with smoke fairies

that one made me grin

Since we seem to be on a cloning spree I might as well clone my message from the other thread

Wish Metamatic team, John Steve & Rob, and everybody on the forum a Merry Christmas & a healthy and happy 2010!
It has been really nice to meet some in here for real!
