Metamatic Forums News and Announcements John Foxx news John Foxx : D.N.A...

We're pleased to announce the forthcoming release of D.N.A. - a new double disc (CD & DVD) by John Foxx, which is exclusively available through Townsend Records . This features unique collaborations between John Foxx and some of his favourite film-makers, with all of the short movies on the DVD being made especially for this project. On top of that, the CD features all the music for the films, plus tracks that Foxx had recorded as 'possibilities' for soundtracks. The final track on the disc, Over the Mirage is a new collaboration between John Foxx, Harold Budd and Ruben Garcia, while both parts (2 & 7) of A Secret Life and Violet Bloom were recorded with Steve D'Agostino. Ex-Japan percussionist Steve Jansen also features on the A Secret Life instrumentals. All of the stunning artwork for the project has been designed by Jonathan Barnbook, who has previously worked with Damien Hirst and also David Bowie, designing the sleeve and inner booklet for his Heathen album in 2002.

Great news,Rob!

Is there a chance we can buy it at the gig on 5th June , along with some copies of Metatronic?

I would love to buy both copies direct at the gig...

As Andreas has already asked; available at The Roundhouse?

Just pre-ordered it. Nice one. Looking forward to it already!

Two releases in as many months?! Interesting.

Flightpath Tegel was a superb track. Hope there's more where that came from.

Brilliant. I enjoyed immensely Tiny Colour Movies. This time we have a DVD. Flightpath Tegel and Clicktrack are great vids. Roll on June 2nd...

AAAGh - The Roundhouse Day is going to be so EXPENSIVE!!!

What exciting news - thanks everyone.

I make that at least EIGHT NEW tracks to get excited about...

Pre-ordered. Have to say I'm more interested in this than I was in Metatronic (though of course I bought that one as well).

It certainly sounds the most interesting of the new releases, and technically the first album of all-new solo material relased solely under John's name for 4 years. The follow up to "Tiny Colour Movies", maybe?
