John Foxx and The Maths have covered the classic Pink Floyd track Have A Cigar for the cover CD on the October edition of Mojo Magazine.

I'll shortly be posting an exclusive interview with John and Benge where they reveal how they put this track together.

The track Have A Cigar originally appeared on Pink Floyd's 1975 album Wish You Were Here.

Not sure if I'd be buying Mojo Rob, but very interesting choice and I'd definitely like to hear that one from John and Benge, oh, and by the way, which ones Pink?

thanks for that Rob, really interesting interview. I'd love to hear the Maths do some of those covers as suggested by John, he had my hopes up for a moment that Have A Cigar might be played at a forthcoming gig, but have to agree about the lyrical content and dated theme, and I did think it was a strange choice from the album, but explanation from John has cleared that one up. I like the 'which ones Matt' line, but pity they were pipped to the Machine post, what did you dream, its alright we told you what to dream...

Excellent stuff! Just a word of warning - looks like there are two CDs - one covering Dark Side of the Moon, one Wish You Were Here so be careful to pick up the right one! I'll probably get both ...

I think "Wish You Were Here" (the song) would have worked too, in an "Interplay" (the song) kind of way.

Nice mention of The Wooly Fish. I wonder if that song exists ...

Thanks for the advice! I noticed the cover on Rob's interview suggests Dark Side Of The Moon is covered.

Weird...

Looking forward very much to the release of this exclusive and unique track
