Metamatic Forums John Foxx Collaborations Mirrorball

Got mine early.

Its Fantastic.

Ordered both - CD and Vinyl. Hope they will arrive until latest on Wednesday...

Well spotted Bird! Without going into too much detail let's just say it's positive .. with an 8/10 mark at the end.

A great album. Probably just better than A secret Life. Standout tracks for me are My Life As An Echo & Estrellita (probably because I've been playing it to death beforehand).

I'm really late to the show - just ordered online - hoping for a speedy delivery!

I havent really had a chance to concentrate on the album but its not yet jumping out at me, unlike My Lost City. Also am rather disappointed with the booklet.

My Fave Tracks:

Ultramarine
The Perfect Line
Estrellita

I love this album overall.

A great companion to CT's Victorialand.

Another review of Mirrorball this time from The Scotsman;

Conceived when the pair met at a Harold Budd concert four years ago, this resonates as a Robin Guthrie record with Foxx a ghostly presence floating over his sonic textures.

'The Perfect Line' is effortlessly ethereal, 'Spectroscope' steps back to medieval times courtesy of a modern madrigal, while 'Ultramarine' is so laid back it's virtually horizontal. With spooky choral arrangements – especially the throaty 'Empire Skyline' – it is tempting to call this post-modernist gothic. Pretentious, but lovely.

Received my vinyl copy today, its fantastic, different sleeve and the inner sleeves great oh and the signed print is pretty cool as well.

I'm enjoying this one. Victorialand meets Cath Oceans... sublime
