Just playing the whole lot through now (again, again...) and it's quite an incredible body of work.
For 'extra tracks', I would imagine most of us have a couple of all-time favourite Foxx songs in this list??
Yes. Ever since I first heard This Jungle I used to wonder why he relegated some great songs to the B-sides of singles. I always thought This Jungle was good enough to be a single in its own right. Imagine if it came out as a double A-side with This City.
Even the Swimmers were great instrumental tracks.
Yes The Lifting Sky and yes A Kind of Wave, but what about the very, very wonderful song that is A Woman on a Stairway or City of Light.
Actually, this is another one that has that 'fa fa fa, faa, fa, fa...oooh ooh ooh' thing going on which just seems to work.
How many of John's 'best loved' songs are not among his primary output?
We really need a poll, don't we?
For instance, as many people know - and some have the audacity to disagree with 
- Underwater Dreamsex is a contender for my all time favourite Foxx tune.
Great thread. More please... I only just got The Drive EP the other day. I've only played UD once or twice so far. I think I'd better play it again!
