Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx and Louis Gordon Impossible CD

Has that been commercially released,
or do you just mean you (wisely) taped it off the radio?

Recorded from the internet stream!
Better than nowt.

It would also be good to get a recording of 'Walk Away' as featured on the 2006 tour.

That track and 'Impossible' are the main ones missing imo from any official releases too.

It would be great to get 'Impossible'.

This is the kind of reason why i generally dont like remixes or re-works. These two never really stood out for me either on 'Impossible', but on 'From Trash' their my two favorites. I think thats why i only like songs re-visited when played live, and maybe a bit of re-work, but only in the live context.

I'm really enjoying this CD even tho it is dominated by From Trash era stuff. There is a certain freshness in the recordings..sort of reminds you of how they used to do (and some still do) the Radio 1 sessions . .the same songs but different. I quite like the new Impossible (track). I sort of think they could have kept it to an EP say with a couple of new re-workings with the 2 new tracks calling it the Adult Concerns EP or something, but hey they went all the way and why not indeed?

Good news for those of us who couldn't attend Cargo or Marghera – I received an email from Townsend this morning announcing the preorder availability of both Impossible and Neuro Video. I placed my order and look forward to their imminent arrival, as the estimated release date is October 27.

I see the cover picture is also in the SoR re-issue booklet in tiny colour form (second inside page). Is this where it originally appeared or has it been (t)here before?

The cover picture of Impossible was originally used for Hiroshima mon Amour in the Systems of Romance Tour book in 1978. The book includes some Lyrics together with great art works, which you can see (some of them) on the inside of the Impossible booklet too.

Lyrics in the book are:

My Sex
(Systems...)

Slip Away

Someone Else's Clothes
(Systems...)

The Man Who Dies Every Day
(Impossible, Systems...)

A Distant Smile
(Systems of Romance)

Hiroshima Mon Amour (Impossible,Systems...)

Quiet Men
(Impossible, Systems of Romance)

It's nice there are bigger sizes in Impossible booklet. The Systems of Romance Pictures are very small and showing only parts of the hole pictures. The big one in the center of the booklet was used for My Sex.
The original size for the tour book is DinA4.
I'm glad I bought a copy in the past...
