You'll have to qualify "favourable"...

"after the chronically pretentious Ultravox..."

And worse, The Buggles "Age of Plastic" got 8/10 in the same column.

Fantastic to look back now, and I remember reading much of this when I was young(er).

I'm hooked now too.

have to agree that its fascinating reading these little fragments of a past which I no doubt read myself the first time around, I recall a review saying something along the lines of: 'nary a smile cracked the grain' on Metamatic! the reviewer obviously missed the subtle humour.

One mans 'chronically pretentious' is another mans 'chronically inventive'

I said "favourable" otherwise it would've been "rave" review...

quite a few foxx gems around there if you look. I've been doing some tagging so search for "John Foxx" and ye shall find.

More Foxx, or rather Ultrafoxx archive material in this-week-in-1980's Smash Hits..

I had both of those on my bedroom wall!

Respect! (I had Gary Numan.... :rolleyes: )

The "new" Smash Hits is out (let's pretend it's 1980..) and there's an Ultravox feature followed by lyrics & pic for Burning Car ... alright!
