Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx 'The Garden' 2008 edition

It's an instrumental, with a running time of a little under six minutes.

Rob

Wow, six whole minutes! Is this track something from the early stages of Cathedral Oceans?

Ah, you'll have to wait and see...

Rob

The link I put up to K's post of last week was not referring to any of us knowing more than anyone else. In fact it was a post to help Rob to get things back on topic as some were referring to In The Glow.

And my post above was in agreement with K's post of last week, and Rob and Alex in this thread that wild speculation for In The Glow and early tapes does nothing positive. This thread should just be for discussing and enjoying these upcoming releases.

I'd like to know what John has to say about these reissues. Is there one he's particularly satisfied with I wonder...

After Metamatic 07, The Garden 08 is 'the' re-issue that I'm 'just a touch excited about'

Of course it'll be great to revisit CD1, but its the garden of CD2 that I'm eager to stroll down, with some path's familiar, and some newer...

Just wish it had been released during the summer, (what summer? ),
rather than in the chill of October

Call me a pedant but I'm pretty sure the original The Garden was released in October.
Just be thankful it's not a "30th Anniversary Edition" otherwise we'd have another 3 years to wait!

hmm, my memory core banks may just be ghosting the past for me here! cos now I'm thinking you are correct.

I think I've just coloured the scene with the 'Europe After The Rain/This Jungle' single.
Ah well, its a summer I'll always remember, even if it is an implanted fiction
