Metamatic Forums Socialising Introduce Yourself Hello From Mr.Ilektrik

Hello everyone. It's great to be on this forum. I've been lurking for a while & thought that it was about time I uncloaked & introduced myself.

My name is Mark Henson & I have been a John Foxx fan since I bought the first 3 Ultravox! albums in 1979, when Gary Numan started name checking them in interviews.

I've followed John's career since then & have been rewarded with probably the best sounding electronic music that has ever been produced.
Apart from John, I am a fan of Gary Numan, Bill Nelson,Holger Czukay, Tod Dockstader, Kraftwerk, Neu!, Adult., Cabaret Voltaire/Richard H. Kirk, Human League (pre-Dare), OMD (up to Dazzle Ships), Aphex Twin, Muslimgauze, Killing Joke, Tool, Ozric Tentacles, Salvador Dali, J.G.Ballard, William S. Burroughs.

I also make my own electronic soundscapes under the name of APPARATUS AND HAND. I have a soundclick page where there are some tracks from my first cd MUSICAL NOISEBOX, my second cd JUNK RECEIVER (which is nearly finished) plus some old odds & sods.

A lot of my music is based around short wave soundscapes a la Holger Czukay & Tod Dockstader. I love the sounds that emit from short wave frequencies.

I would be very interested to hear what you think of my stuff. Click the link & away you go.

Thank you

Mark Henson

Hi Mark, welcome to Metamatic!

Will do Mark!

Welcome aboard. I for one will be checking out your stuff as some of our tastes overlap considerably. OMD never worked for me except the first album ('Almost' is in my All Time Top 100).

Good to see how John's music fits into a widfer perspective.
Look forward to seeing you around
