Metamatic Forums Socialising Introduce Yourself Hello Foxx Fans!

Hello Everybody!
I'm Phil. I've been a fan of John Foxx since Underpass was released (have a wonderfully tatty double single edition) Bought just about everything he released back then. Like most I was disappointed by him vanishing after "in mysterious ways".

Then in September 1997 I had a bizarre Foxx/Vox incident. Midge Ure was playing a local club (The Robin Hood, Brierley Hill) and whilst waiting to go in I noticed a poster advertising John Foxx ex-Ultravox playing here. So finally after 17 years I got to seem him and Louis. What a fantastic concert!

Obviously I've bought everything else since and he has not disappointed once... in fact Sideways (which isn't even a proper release) is my album of the year and I think its my favourite album since his return. I love X-Ray Vision!

So to finish here's a list of favourites...

Best Album - The Garden
Best Song (Vox) - I Can't Stay Long
(early solo) - Walk Away (greatest solo too)
(recent) - Smoke
Best Instrumental - Oceanic

I agree I can't stop playing Sideways, the synths on this cd is just hypnotic This is what John Foxx is all about in my book, just love it. Underwater is my favorite track, fantastic vocals.

I wish they'd hurry up and give Sideways a proper release so I don't have to pay the ungodly import price of $35. The two tracks on John's MySpace are excellent.
