Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx Glimmer: The Best Of

Gimmer is getting through to new people.

Yesterday we had a dress down day at work & I had my John Foxx Australian Tour T-shirt on.

Our MD came up to me and said "John Foxx! I've just bought his Glimmer album".

But then he remembers & always loved Underpass.

Wow, that kind of occurrence alone is a rarity!!

With 'Untrue' as the starting point then that could turn out to be a very rich landscape for Foxx fans to contemplate journeying across...

Like light, 'through a crack in the door'.

Surely there must be a better John Foxx quote you can come up with than a Midgevox one Ken

Not at this time Brian, theres something happening dont you know.

I have concluded that if "No One Driving" was released as it appears on Glimmer, and at the time it was originally released, that it would have been a monster hit in the Hi NRG scene that was so active not long after those days. Intersting to speculate that if it did become a monster hit, would it have influenced the musical direction thereafter?

Or am I just tired after a long weekend of playing with the kids?

I like this version a lot, actually! Also the extended Plaza with the extra synth rifts - it makes me feel the original lacked something!

Oooh - something exciting? Care to enlighten us?

Haven't you had your morning tea yet, Birdsong? Cannot believe anyone on either site can miss what has been happening. :rolleyes:

Best read these threads Martin, and see if you can make out anymore than most over there / here.
