John Foxx And The Maths are set to release a single CD version of the new album, The Shape Of Things on 19 March, 2012. This is due to the fantastic response to the limited edition release at the end of last year (there are still some copies left but they're going fast.). FACT Magazine has already described The Shape Of Things as ''rooted in the classic electronic pop tradition but sounds thrillingly contemporary.'

The single CD will feature a new version of the track Talk (Beneath Your Dreams) which is remixed by Matthew Dear, to include some new sounds and a vocal by the US electronic artist.

Talk (Beneath Your Dreams) will also appear on a new EP, currently being recorded at The Maths’ studio in London and due for release in the spring.

The full tracklisting for the single CD version of the album is as follows:

01 Spirus
02 Rear-View Mirror
03 Talk
04 Psytron
05 September Town
06 Unrecognised
07 Modreno
08 Falling Away
09 Invisible Ray
10 Vapour Trails

"Dear’s reinterpretation is more propulsive than the original. Foxx’s austere sonic architecture remains, but Dear grafts it onto a solid techno backbone and bathes it a warm analogue afterglow."

I had become used to the minimalist original, but this gives the song a whole new dimension - excellent.

For those (like me!) who don't perhaps realise it, Matthew Dear also features on Mojo's compilation album 'OK_Computer', (Issue 171 covermount CD) released in February 2008.

This CD of course includes our very own Burning Car

The track was then a promo for his latest album (at the time) Asa Breed, released on Ghostly International in April 2008
