Probably the wrong thread for this, but probably not worth starting a new one either!
Technically not what [b]I[/b] am listening to, but what someone else is listening to.... Julianne Regan (All About Eve) just posted on FB that she was listening to Ultravox! "Slow Motion" and commented "Forgive me; I've probably posted this before, but here it is. This is why I don't care that I'm 50 because I was around and switched on when THIS was happening and it was phenomenal."
When someone commented that she should listen to JF and the Math she responded "Hi Peter... Had a quick listen. Perhaps it's just the mood I'm in today but I just hear a gap where a Robin Simon style guitar could be. I love electronic music but I also love the humanness a gtr can bring, especially in the context of John Foxx. Still, he's pleasing himself so that's wonderful. I should give it another listen when I'm not feeling so nostalgic for Ultravox... with an exclamation mark!".
I know what she means as I'm kind of waiting for Robin to reappear on some new stuff too! Maybe John should get a collaboration between himself, Julianne, and Robin? That would be good!
I'm with you 110 percent re Ultravox with an exclamation mark ! The unpunctuated version will never be more than a pale imitation . While I'm here , treat yourself to a bottle of saké or a bottle of that expensive Tuscan red you linked last month. Your beloved Citeh won with the last kick of the game apparently ! *(Can't be arsed going to the football thread)
Re guitars
Robin Simon very good
Stevie Shears even better Goor Steve !!!! (Distant Smile)
As regards what I'm listening to Fuer Immer Deutsche Amerikanische Freundschaft
Remember kids , Verliebt sein ist leicht !
