We've had the digital-only The Bunker Tapes for a few months, and now the proper album release of the Machine Stops music is coming: The Machine by John Foxx and the Maths, due in February.

(I suppose everyone may know already through Facebook or twitter, but I like forums.)

No FB and no twitter here too.

Thanks for the info, Steve! I like the Bunker tapes recording a lot. For me, one of the best works John and Benge did together. Great we will have a studio recording soon, too.

One of the reasons I want a soundtrack of the play to be released (ideally on DVD) is so that we can identify which of these tracks are sampled, cut, looped and otherwise mashed up into the action on stage

Written during 2015 & 2016, the music was commissioned by director Juliet Forster as the soundtrack for the theatre production of E.M. Forster's short story The Machine Stops. Not all of the music was used and the album features some different mixes to those which accompanied the stage show.

The final track-listing is as follows...

Presumably, this is an instrumental album (being a soundtrack) ... i.e. there aren't any vocal songs included?

No, there aren't any 'vocal songs'...

However, there are vocal performances - though not by John...

Hope that helps...
