Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx Limited Edition Burning Car 20th Century Remix 12 Inch

Does anyone know what will be on the "B" side of this vinyl release?

20th Century (what else? )

(At least I presume BC is on one side and C20 on the other.)

I just received an e-mail from Duck Art which contained the following statement:

"After the success of his recent solo show in Shoreditch, we are pleased to bring you new work and an exclusive print range by KARBORN. The piece shown is titled Burning Car and is being released to coincide with a rework of his Father's (John Foxx) recording. http://www.duck-artshop.com/acatalog/KARBORN.html"

£900 ouch!

Hmmmm...

I'm trying not to be too cynical about this - I appreciate art appeals to different people on different levels and can be dependent on many things; an individuals own tastes, historical association with a time place or persons, deeper personal connections, etc. I'm left bemused that the two pieces associated with John Foxx are three times the price of everything else offered. I appreciate art is worth what anyone is willing to pay for it - fair play to Karborn for asking for the price, and good luck if anyone is tempted - but I don't think the pieces associated with track titles compare to some of the others available from Duck Art (great company name there). Moreover, this could be perceived by the wider world as 'increased value due to name and association only' and could put some off rather than draw people in to an artist that produces some fantastic work.



If I had the money (and, yes, I do wish I had the money...), I'd definitely go for the three 'Pauses' pieces, and 'Sync' for the common area walls at work that are shown further down the page there. My eyes were drawn much more quickly to the composition, colours, abstract and immediate 'viewability' of those pieces as opposed to the JF 'inspired' works.

If you would like some free Kaborn art, I still have 8 posters for the April listings at Cargo which uses Kaborn's 'Pauses' for the artwork shown here:

The first 8 people to email me will get them - I'll post them out next week.

Yes, a little steep.

While I'd love to order this, I'm more than concerned over what condition it will arrive in through the post. All the CDs I order invariably sustain a problem or two.

Anyone know how they'll package it? Or are there alternatives to using the post?

Just adding my bit to say that its a pretty good remix of a track so classic I wouldn't have thought it'd be so well re-imagined

Will go direct to Townsend records in October and hope I can get one copy of this single!!!

Hope they have enough in stock ....
