Here's an excellent, articulate and shining review of The Shape Of Things, according to the BBC

http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/dz5c

'... his best album since Metamatic'?

Really? I know its good, but - well. Already?

Yes, excellent review .. but perhaps the reviewer didn't catch Interplay? .. or any of his recordings from 1997 onwards?!!?

Or The Garden, even?

Here's a brilliant new interview with John.
And it looks great too.

Great to see an interview so thoughtfully designed

(page 27 onwards)

Also includes interview with Numan

The Quiet Man is popping up everywhere.
Shadows on walls
Echoes in stairwells
Fingerprints in mirror-dust

Another exclusive interview at (formerly) Remember the Eighties

In another drawer on the same website, there's also a review of the album:

Now, as if that wasn't enough...

You can read another extensive and in-depth interview with John at Bantmag here:

Cyberpunk literature, art and analogue improvisation - as well as some hints at the new projects he's mentioned in other interviews

Excellent, thanks as always for the link Martin.

a translated and version of this review is featured in the Music section of Italian weekly news magazine Internazionale this week. Nothing new but the magazine is very selective about what is featured, as it brings together the best of the world's press in current affairs, arts etc., and there are only a handful of music reviews every week, so it's a prestigious appearance for The Shape of Things.

Martin: I can send you the scanned pages if you so desire.

That would, as usual, be fab!

Yes please. I agree with your comments about the placing of these reviews. It's endlessly fascinating WHERE news and feedback of John's work appear as it shows the incredible depth and range of his influence.

Ditto with the compilation albums he features on. I like to acquire as many as I can for the same reason. More often than not, Foxx is the only artist I have heard of - which is great because you get to learn of new things but again see just how highly regarded the Quiet Man is.

Ahead of the forthcoming gig in Madrid on 26th May, there's an exclusive new interview with John Foxx now online here:

And Steve has posted a translation of the same at The Quiet Man:

Well worth reading as usual, not least because John Foxx refers again to a couple of new projects he's currently working on...
