Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx A New Kind of Man

Well, I'm a big fan of Numan's career from Sacrifice onwards. I like it certainly as much as the early years. I think - like John - Gary has moved in a modern direction that's just perfect for him, and a style that is rightfully winning him a new generation of fans.

My favourite John Foxx album is The Pleasures of Electricity. I think From Trash might come second with Metamatic in third place - although it did used to have top spot!

I generally listen to John's music much more than Gary's these days - it suits my daily life

But I don't want this to turn into some kind of pointless Foxx/Numan debate. I've enjoyed Gary's music more than ever this past couple of years especially with the Telekon tour and Jagged. Like I said earlier - I can't/don't/won't compare them, because their music is very different, especially these days and they both have their place and purpose for me.

It was really nice to hear John talking positively about Numan in the recent Australian radio interview. And Numan still does likewise.

We're drifting off topic here, but if you haven't seen it, maybe you'd enjoy reading/joining the discussion on recent Foxx album consistency...

Then there's at least two of us.

I also rate tPoE very highly.

It's been good to see the sleeve artwork used on the Australian tour posters, and a few of the songs making their live debut over the last year.

The first time I met John, we talked about that album, and he seemed personally very fond of it, so I guess he's still eager to give it a good airing - which is great.

Make that three

Not anymore it seems. Going for sensible money now: -
