Metamatic Forums John Foxx Collaborations D'Agostino/Foxx/Jansen/ - New Album

Cheers Herbert!

Pre-ordered both this morning! I'm really looking forward to having a secret life in my lost city now!

Hmmmmm - a secret life in a lost city...sounds like a plan for a holiday!

Is that the cover then? Completely white?

eek! swear i saw a kind of bauhaus art nouveau illustration there a moment ago. tis gone!

It looked like a simplified version of the new Metal Beat labels that feature on the Metamatic deluxe edition CDs minus the text - perhaps it was just temporary artwork?

Just had a listen to the free download you get after preordering. If it's representative, this album ought to fit nicely alongside Translucence/Drift Music and the Cathedral Oceans albums.

mmm. I'm not ordering afore I see the cover!

I've downloaded the first track.

After a few listens it reminds me of Vangelis's Blade Runner sountrack but without the Demis Roussos

Not bad at all

According to Myspace, the cover's not quite finished yet, but it will be in a few days.

This doesn't sound like my kind of thing - a bit too abstract. Interesting sounds though, but more like background noise then melodic.

I guess it's hard to judge just from a sample though - unless that was the best bit with which to represent the whole album!

The only comparison I can make at the moment is with Cliff Martinez's soundtrack to "Solaris".

The cover has now been posted here ...
