Here's the View From The Halloway:
Nation 12
Unutterable rubbish. A case of 'oooh look how many presets I've got on my drum machine.'
She Was
If you screw your eyes really tight this could almost be an out-take from Metamatic, if it weren't for the naff vocoder and naffer lyric.
Shadow Dancing
Hints of 'The Garden' album here. One of the more interesting tracks on the album due to its varying textures. Gets silly towards the end.
Florian
This starts off sounding like a cross between Bill Nelson and Aneka. If I then say that it rather tails off then you'll understand just how bad it is.
Electrofear
Zzzzzz.
Listen To The Drummer
Oddly enough, if this had been released as a single it might have been a hit due to the use of funky black samples and orchestra hits.
Leaving
I rather like this one, almost as much as 'Through My Sleeping.' The percussion is a little lighter than on other tracks and includes a tabla which gives it a faintly Bhangra-esque feel.
Into The Wonderful
I actually owned a copy of 'Gods' on the Atari ST which used a tracker version of this song, so it occupies a special place in my heart as the only new John Foxx track I heard between 1985 and 1995.
Cities Of Light 1
Not as good as the TPOE version.
Your Kisses Burn
Starts off sounding like that dreadful 'Macarena' song and plummets thereon in. You can actually sing the words of 'Macarena' over the top of it - go on - try it.
Remember
Utterly unmemorable.
Concrete, Bulletproof, Invisible
The version on 'Shifting City' was my least favourite Foxx song. No longer because this is even worse.
Invisible Women
Not very good.
There are the some remixes of three tracks. I haven't even bothered to listen to those.
To quote that Brummy lady who used to be on 'Juke Box Jury', "I'll give it five.' Out of 100.
