Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx Cover Versions

As far as I am aware there are not too many cover versions of JF tracks about.
I have a cover of Undepass by UK goth/industrial act Attrition on a Swedish compilation called "To Cut A Long Story Short - (A tribute to the pioneers of electropop" it is quite a good cover much slower than the original.

Also one of my favourite synthpop bands are a German band called Second Decay, they covered Burning Car but I cannot find this as it was only ever released on CD single as a bside.
Second Decay are a great analog synthpop band and must be big JF fans as their label is called Quiet Man records!

I also found this cover version of No-one driving by a Scottish band called Tascam Too:

Hi BF, I'm pretty sure I have the Second Decay version of "Burning Car" somewhere... I remember I got it from some P2P network. If you're interested, please drop me a line.

Hi, All

If you want to hear some rather quirky versions look on myspace music for "the Buduls" and also "Progfoxx"

I think Louis or a friend of his - has a hand in both of them somewhere.

BtR :p

Now this is class!

VERY VERY funny. nice work guys.

"She was dressed in goat suit…
...it's a BUDULFLUT" etc

We have an active John Foxx covers "comp" running over on dubsounds.com ending in december.It's gone a bit quiet there on the forum at the moment (everyone's busy) also the site is being re-launched by Shaun to be new and improved.
So far Gavin of The Photographers has finished his track "An Ocean We Can Breathe".
I extended the deadline as I wanted to make sure enough people could contribute.It's open to all.There are no actual prizes other than the acheivement of creating a great track that may not have been planned/scheduledprior to the "comp".

For another wicked Foxx 'parody' type thing, you could do worse than go HERE:-

click on "This City".

Do check out his other tracks and albums as well.
Not that he's a friend of mine, and he doesn't drink in my local pub or anything. Men Are from Mars is especially good…

Perhaps this is the time (again) to stamp me little foot and wave me little flag demanding a 'tribute' album?
The Klaxxons, Perspects, Ladytron, Metamatics...

I know that's a crap phrase, but there are some very credible examples out there to Soft Cell, Depeche Mode etc etc.

And I dont mean tribute bands either..

Thanks Luca!

Second Decay's Burning Car is available from here:-

Rather an intermittent 'signal' though...

Burning Budulfut. Very amusing

Phil Glanville version of This City IMHO is awful.
