Metamatic Forums John Foxx Collaborations Mirrorball

Thanks for posting this. Excellent one for the archive that's too easy to miss

At the moment 'Spectroscope' is the standout track for me. I felt echoes of Enter The Angel II in the title track Mirrorball earlier today

I've been playing the CD incessantly for about a week now. I like Mirrorball, I really like Mirrorball - definitely a summer album, and as Church Puddle points out, would sit easily with something like LC by The Durutti Column…

...but I feel like I'm cheating on My Lost City

no, don't feel guilty rads .. MLC is much more Christmassy ...

I've listened to Mirrorball about 5 times so far and really like it. It is my favorite of the non-electro recordings (although I don't have all of them). It's also the only post-Golden Section recording where I don't feel the urge to skip tracks.

Sunshower is the highlight for me -- a mini-Italian opera. I wish it were longer.

The sound quality seems to better than the Foxx-Gordon releases. Wonder if it was recorded in Robin's studio. The liner notes don't shed any light on the situation.

Some of the initial recordings for this were made at Guthrie's studio in France - 'enough for an album' according to his blog.

Not sure how much work was done elsewhere.

You're right about the sleevenotes though.
Some details would have been welcome

My Vinyl finally arrived! Anyone else still waiting for theirs? Nice packaging, and Limited edition art sleeve! I forgot how much i miss the large artwork from a proper LP record sleeve....

What a marvellous paean to a sunny Sunday afternoon Mirrorball is!

Sitting over the park earlier it was like listening to a specially commissioned celebration of the sun-dappled foliage in all its splendid array and tones.

a round-up of Mirrorball reviews here

interesting... i got 2 prints, signed 106/1000 and unsigned 535/1000, this was ordered from townsend. great album!

Playing this one a lot. Estrellita is still my favourite track from the album and ranks as one of the best tracks he's written.
