Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx Metatronic - new compilation

Given the album title and the obvious associations, you really can't blame John for using another photo from the old Metamatic session, can you?

Though personally I think it would have been interesting if John had used the magic of Photoshop to superimpose a picture of him as he looks today on the right of the picture, as if he's visiting his former self.

Wow, there's a few Thought Experiments in there!
Thansk for sharing - lots to think about...

but I think you mean May 3rd (date changed at Townsend) Again :rolleyes: ...

I'm so out the loop!

Crikey, Metatronic put back you say, that was quick, Johns obviously read my plea, err, I mean post

Nice one Core! To be honest, for me 'Glimmer' was enough JF compilation. I don't need another one (as it inhabits all the styles and moods you describe). Unless, of course, he radically reworks the stuff, as you suggested!

Well, I am firmly in the camp of being a fan of the cover design and I think the choice of font is fantastic. I will definitely be getting hold of a copy.

So, does anyone know the name of the font that was used yet? It is in a similar vein to that being used in recent Fiat car advertising, but I didn't find out what was being used for that either...

yes I noticed the FIAT thing when i got one of their brochues over the weekend!

Its in the Art Deco family of fonts. This isn't it but I like the name .

Oddly enough, the "what font is that?" question recently cropped up on the OMD forum as well.

If you go to the site http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ and point them in the direction of the Metatronic sleeve, it seems there's a host of Font experts who might be able to tell you what it is and where it comes from.
