Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx John Foxx appears on new Ministry Of Sound compilation

Just popped into HMV and noted that one of their displays has a new compilation from the well known "Ministry Of Sound" brand/label/club called "Anthems Electronic 80s" (vol 2).

It's got 60 tracks on, most of which were big hits by well known artists, and our John gets a look in as well. Surprisingly however, it's not Underpass getting yet another outing, nor even No-one's Driving, but perhaps John's best, and most neglected single of all - the majestic Europe After The Rain.

Okay, so it's very much a retro compilation, but as nearly all of the other tracks on the CDs were massive top ten hits, it's nice to see a great song that only peaked at number 40 in the charts, receiving wider acclaim. Let's hope today's music buyers will be so impressed by hearing EATR for the first time that they might investigate John's extensive back catalogue!

Hear! Hear! Thanks for the heads up.

Comes almost exactly a year after Vol 1 included 'Underpass'

I'll keep an eye out for it, next time I'm in a music store.

Fantastic! It was this single on the K-Tel compilation album Modern Dance that I really got into Foxx!

The thought that, nearly 30 years later, someone might give Foxx a listen by hearing this same track on a compilation album - that's a great feeling!
