Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx Videos during Metamatic age

I was wondering what videos are avaible, like live performances, interviews, videoclips, special editions videoclips, etc... from metamatic era.
Someone knows?

If you have to share could you post here please?

There were no live performances during 'the metamatic era' as John Foxx did not play live until The Golden Section Tour in 1983.

I can't think of any TV interviews from that era, either. There are, however, a few promotional videos available on John's YouTube channel:

Go to the second page to find videos for 'Underpass' and 'He's a Liquid'. You should still be able to track down some recordings of John's performances on the British TV show 'Top of the Tops' if you search on the YouTube home page.

Hope that helps!

If you're interested in the videos, a VHS Compilation tape was made available in the late 80s, you'll find details of it here;

Copies ocassionally pop up on Ebay. It has to be said though that Foxx isn't happy with most of his 80s videos and has intimated in the past that he'd like to create new films...but don't hold your breath!

And here ...

Thanks a lot to everyone. I think would be important to understand the kind of promotion that Jonh Foxx did with his Metamatic (the first solo) album. The age of 1980 was a age of change of the synthpop. We could see a lot many bands apearing during this year, and the kind of efect that bands like Ultravox!, Gary Numan, Human League/The Future, OMD and David Bowie did with them.

I remember a full page advert by Virgin Records in NME either at the very end of 79 or beginning of 1980 where Metamatic was featured as one of Virgin's new albums for the new decade or something like that..

If someone usualy see John could you ask this particular question please:

During and a little before of the Metamatic session, what kind of artistic movement and musical projects did influenced you to create an album like this ? What was your introspection ?

How many people was involved in this album (counting with making the cover, the music, everything)?

This question is answered on the sleevenotes of the album, re-issued on CD by Edsel in 2008

I think i eard a few more people in Metal Beat interview. Some people who help John in creating some sounds for the album and for The Bed soundtrack, including some unrelease material.
