Just to make it clear (thanks to Garry Hensey for pointing this out)

There is only ONE CD on the MOJO cover that contains BOTH albums "Wish You Were Here" and "Dark Side Of The Moon"

It is OUT NOW in a newsagent near you...

Yes, my bad, I do apologise. It's the kind of thing I've seen happen before though, so congratulations to Mojo on this occasion for not being tempted down that route.

thanks, very good interview. An interesting choice of possible cover versions!

I would certainly like to hear John do "Neon Lights".

What always fascinates me about things like this is how they exemplify John's relevance to the underground sub-contemporary scene.

Time and again John Foxx appears on compilation albums that feature no other artists I've ever heard of.

It's wonderful sign of exactly how much his music matters to people, and how much of an influence he still is.

I bought the magazine today. I also like The Pineapple Thief so that was two artists that I'd heard of. The John Foxx And The Maths track is different. I like that in covers. More electronic which I suppose you'd expect. A good track.

I love this version of Have a Cigar, it sounds just like its off Interplay, well done John and Benge.

I like it. Very good, very Maths.
