But I can't find my copy of the "Drive ep'. Isn't it typical that the only John Foxx disc that has gone awol is a rare one. :rolleyes: Well if my dad had the great taste you have when I was a teenager Mark, I would have been pinching from his record collection all the time... [/b] I wish that were the case, Quiet. But Robert is in Equador, so he hasn't got it. Shaun is into R&B, speed garage & a bit of dance music, so he hasn't got it, and Adam is into rock, so he hasn't got it. The mis-placement is down to me & I can't think for the life of me where the disc is. It's so frustrating.

I stopped listening to it around the 4 minute mark. If I was in a different mood then I would assume that I could appreciate UD, much more. IASW is very uplifting.

I have a similar dilemma actually, whcih I don't appreciate being reminded of A month or so ago I opened the case to play "The Pleasures of Electricity" and the CD was missing. I remain hopeful that NOT looking for it will increase the chances of it turning up somewhere For archive snippets, sparks of electroflesh and news about this website follow me on Twitter @foxxmetamatic

Almost like Dirk Gently's approach to driving! Having listened to the two back to back, not that I needed to, my favourite is still 'In A Silent Way' - you do realise that if Ladytron or Hot Chip released this it would be a Top10alltimeclassicSmasheyandNiceyalltimesynthpopRadio1fave� don't you? I have a cunning plan... It involves the words: 'Petition','Foxx' 'In A Silent Way' 'Download' 'Single' 'Now'...but not necessarily in that order

OP Birdsong Administrator Joined: Dec 2006 Southampton, England	Yes yes, indeedly I am waving the same flag. Or at least I was. A year ago. Boats have sailed from harbours since then, and some folk chose not to be on the quayside. :rolleyes: "sign", "pen", "of course", "point", "missing" Retro releases and album tours are great, and emphasise the thirty year old quality of the material. BUT Some artists are STILL AS GOOD now, if NOT BETTER. What happened to the wonder of NOW ???
