A New Kind Of Man - out now!
John Foxx - A New Kind Of Man
I know this never happens but we're actually moving forward the release date of the new John Foxx album, A New Kind Of Man to this Monday April 21, 2008. We actually received the stock a couple of days early so our official shop Townsend Records will start shipping out the pre-orders later today. This means that some people may receive the album this weekend. A New Kind Of Man was recorded on the Metamatic Tour in autumn 2007 and features 17 tracks: Film One, Plaza, He's A Liquid, Underpass, Metal Beat, No-One Driving, A New Kind Of Man, Blurred Girl, 030, Tidal Wave, Touch And Go, Glimmer, Mr No, This City, My Face, Burning Car and 21st Century.The album is 77 minutes long and the artwork includes an eight page booklet. You can now order from Townsend on the following link:
www.townsend-records.co.uk/artist.php?artist=John+Foxx&pType=1 We've pressed up 1000 copies of A New Kind Of Man: Townsend currently have around 500 copies of the album available - the rest are for the forthcoming Australian tour and other dates, promo and a couple of specialist retailers for later in the year. That said, if these sell quickly we will consider pressing up some more. However, stocks of Metal Beat and Retro Future are now running low and these will not be re-pressed.
Meanwhile, John is busy working on some new material including an album of piano music which we're hoping to release later in the year. He's also sketching out some new songs armed with an ARP, Moog and a CR-78 drum machine.
Another new project is a remix/art collaboration with Dub Terror and Karborn, the first fruits of which is the new version of 'Burning Car' which you can listen to on this official My Space page.
great stuff! Looking forward to it – hopes the recording of ‘Metal Beat’ is from the Cargo performance.
