Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx John Foxx and Construction Time Again

I just finished watching the DVD that comes packaged with The Depeche Mode remaster of Construction Time Again and John Foxx gets mentioned in the interview with Gareth Jones.

Seems Gareth did not want to meet DM because he thought they were too 'pop'. Gareth says in the interview: ' my mentor and colleague John Foxx' told him to go meet them. 'Metamatic' gets a mention also.

Good to hear Gareth mention John as his mentor. I always thought the production values on Metamatic were superb and often wondered how much of it was John's idea or if all the production was down to Gareth. Sounds like it was a bit of both.

I guess it was Metamatic that really got Gareth started, and his work on DM's albums has always been great - he helped shape their sound, and some of that must have come from John's influence on him during the Metamatic sessions.
