Metamatic Forums News and Announcements John Foxx news John Foxx And The Maths : Rhapsody

Rhapsody

is a brand new album from John Foxx And The Maths, featuring ten tracks recorded live at The Maths studio (www.memetune.net) after the Interplay Tour in November 2011.

Artwork is again by the very wonderful Jonathan Barnbrook

Wow!! Another album. The creative juices are certainly flowing still!

Exciting, isn't it.

Bear in mind though that this is not 'new' material, but rather live studio versions of the Interplay tour setlist in the same vein as Live From A Room (2006)

Great News!

I assume we can buy this CD on the forthcoming live shows?

I'll let you know as soon as I know.

PRE-ORDER RHAPSODY AND EXPONENTIALSM

We're delighted to announce 2 new releases, Rhapsody and Exponentialism, which are available as a multi-buy for £13.99.....

John Foxx And The Maths' Rhapsody is made up of 10 tracks recorded live atLondon's MemeTune Studios in late 2011, shortly after the UK Interplay tour. The Maths line-up on this session is as follows: John Foxx (Vocals, keyboards);Benge (Percussion, keyboards); Hannah Peel (Violin, keyboards); Serafina Steer(Bass, keyboards). It's fantastic to hear a live band playing with electronics, plus the addition of bass guitar and layers of violin also creates fresh angles and edges on many of the songs. Foxx's voice is often stripped of effects, adding an emotional shiver to songs such as 'Interplay', 'Hiroshima Mon Amour' and 'Just For A Moment'. Meanwhile the opening track is an instrumental version of 'The Good Shadow', which features - as do nearly all of the tracks - Hannah Peel on violin. Artwork is by Jonathan Barnbrook.

Gazelle Twin, I Speak Machine - Exponentialism. This limited edition EP (only 750 copies) features Gazelle Twin and I Speak Machine (Tara Busch's new project) who explore Foxx's lyrical themes and ideas on 4 beautifully executed cover versions which also relate strongly to their own work. I Speak Machine's take on'My Sex' transforms it into a gigantic, cyber-sensual pop song, while 'I Want To Be A Machine' is a much darker, stranger transformation. Gazelle Twin has been planning a cover of Foxx/Gordon's 'Never Let Me Go' for a couple of years. In 2011 she told Artrocker Magazine: 'Never Let Me Go' is a mirage of maternal comfort in a toxic and unrelenting world. It's one of those songs I wish I'd made; drenched in analogue pulses and drones, a lullaby-like synth melody accompanying an android (yet emotional) dual-vocal part. I can definitely feel a cover coming on.' Meanwhile, Gazelle Twin's stark version of 'He's A Liquid' reveals a different side to her work as she delivers the surreal, dream-like lyrics in a voice that is completely different to the lullabying 'Never Let Me Go'.

Thank you Martin and Brian.
