Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx Favourite Sleeve Art

mm.. nice try .. sort of continues the Metamatic male-human-holding-artifical-light-in-hand idea...

True, and I think it would make an alternative sleeve for The Pleasures of Electricity

When all’s said and done, I think I’m going to have to go with…



Echoes of pleeeeeeeeeeeeasure...

I'll echo that Garry, and also 'The Garden'

From later works, i like 'From Trash', which also fits some lyrical theme's.

Difficult choice but it has to be the simplicity of Metamatic.

For my money it's "In-Human presence next to my ear, it's the snap crackle pop of Electrofear". Reverse of 12" sleeve...The second officially published occurrence of an image from Cathedral Oceans unless I'm mistaken and way back in 1990. The first would have been the Shrewsbury Poster. Marvellous!

I to would go with Metamatic. If you like Foxx's art work ( I guess we all do ) I see there is some for sale on Ebay at present.

I would go with TPOE but I also like Metalbeat.Favourite colour is blue,I cant help myself.

This is a tough one to call, especially with itty bitty cd covers and not full size albums. Luckily, I have some JF albums so I took a look.
For me, it is a toss up between Systems Of Romance and The Garden.

I have to go with "Systems of Romance", but "The Garden" is certainly up there as a close second.

Very difficult topic this is!
Got all my copies and old LP's on the floor of my room now.
Let's see: Metamatic of course ... because of it's Berlin feel, but the comments of Chris C about The Garden also appeals to me (gardening and electronic music, it's a comparisson Eno once made), but the human Lightbulb is also cool ...
I can't choose!
