Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx and Louis Gordon Shifting City advertising and reviews

That's the point - if only I could find some time to actually work on it...

If you want any help with anything (that doesn't involve programming!), you can always give me a shout.

I'd stopped buying the music press years ago. So I can't add much to this discussion as I'd never seen any advertising.
I guess in a way Modern Art was an advertising medium in the fact that Shifting City was mentioned on this album when reading the track listing along with Cathredral Oceans.
Still it took me another 8 weeks to track down the albums eventually buying them at the Mean Fiddler in Sept 2001.

I think looking back pre June 2001 that I was ever going to hear a new JF album or hear from him again. I'd always thought he'd given up music after IMW. Modern Art, Shifting City and CO rekindled my interest in Johns music. So Here We Go

I mysteriously vanished a few years after John Foxx, so I didn't know anything until I heard about Crash and Burn. So I had a rather nice goody bag to fill when I started to look into it!

Did anyone actually get Shifting City or Cathedral Oceans in 1995? First I heard of them was in 1998, at this site or the old Ultravox forum, and I ordered them through a local record store shortly thereafter. Never saw anything in print about them, but I wasn't buying a whole lot of UK music papers or magazines.

Both Cathedral Oceans and Shifting City were released on the 24th of March, 2007. The 2005 date (on both sleeves) refers to when the material was originally registered for publishing.

eh? .. which century Rob?

Should be 1997.

What a great year for music it was too...

Oooops...
Sorry about that...

Yeah, should've been 1997.

annus terribilis for me .. (or is that horribilis?) .. but I digress ..
