Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx Quiet City website updates...

I liked the old design, inspired by the original Cathedral Oceans and Shifting City covers, but this is certainly more in line with the last several years of Foxx covers. Looks good.

That discography page really brings home just how far things have come from the old days when all we had was the first three Ultravox LPs and the four Virgin albums, though, doesn't it?

Not bad Alex but,The 2 original Omidelic Exotour and Drive EP covers are missing.

They're all featured on the related album pages, so the 2 original Exotour covers are here:

And The Drive is with Crash & Burn:

I liked the old design too but felt a change was needed, plus the site was becoming unmanageable because of how I'd put it together.

You're right about the discography though - it's huge! Ten years back, who would have thought it?!

I saw them there, Alex but, The one you featured, "The Golden Section Tour Plus Ominidelic" isn't actually a compilation of the previous two issues, it features many remixed versions of the original issue tracks, they merit a mention in they're own right otherwise why have the original Cathedral Oceans cover along with the reissue of I & II?

Just spent an enjoyable 1/2 hour looking though Quiet City. Your updated site is certainly impressive and before I read the comments on Metamatic just now I realised just how far John as come since the "Virgin Days".

The enlarged scans of the album covers in the discograhy section and your unbiased veiws certainly made interesting reading.

Well done Alex.

They were different?! In what way?

Anyway it looks like I have my Exotour facts wrong, as I don't have either of the original Exotour CDs, so I had just assumed that the album version that came in the double set was a compilation of the two.

I had considered putting all 3 versions, but I did feel it would be a bit repetitive and would be much better to feature all 3 on one page. As I decided to make my discography list by album, I thought it best to include any singles and EPs under the relevant album section, with the Golden Section/Exotour pack being the most recent and still available 'version' of album.

So let me get this right... the First Exotour CD was just an EP, followed by the full album version the following year.

So how does the Golden Section Tour/Exotour album version differ from the 1998 CD version?

The version of Shifting City on Exotour 1997 is unique across the three releases. A couple of the tracks on The Omnidelic Exotour (most notably Hiroshima Mon Amour, The Quiet Men and The Noise) have been remixed (slightly) from their counterparts on the Subterranean Omnidelic Exotour .

I never knew that! Well, you learn something new every day ;-)

I'll look into rearranging this in a suitable way.

Can anybody send me a decent, unsigned version of the second Exotour cover? I have a mono version I can use in the meantime but it would be good to have a colour one.

Thanks!

Well done, Alex! Your site was always excellent, but the updated look and feel of it now is just so superior.

Just one very, very minor quibble, you've missed the second 'a' in 'City Of Disappearances' on the tracklisting on the latest news page. How trivial am I!! :rolleyes:
