More CDs! And even more CDs for the new year!? BLIMEY! Really love the artwork to Impossible, it looks similar to one of his very early collage works, 'The Visitor', that was shown last year at Conningsby.

I had to read this twice...  HUUUUURRRRRAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! John, Louis, Rob ,Steve and everyone who had the hand on this: I LOVE YOU!!! This is what I had on my secret wishlist! WOW you made my Christmas time very early this year. I really looking forward to meet you all to say thank you eye in eye!!! So I have to order some extra pounds for my "CD money sack"!! (There are 8 items for me now...) The show at Luminaire was great. A fantastic set list - it is wonderful it is now availlable on CD!!! Oh, and a special Thanks for The Man Who Dies Every Day - I don't know what to say! All I can say is Thank You!!! ...and this means a lot! BTW: The image for Impossible is the one for Hiroshima Mon Amour Lyric, used for the Ultravox tour pamphlet in 1978! Great to see this one again here. AAH, what a nice pleasure to be a John Foxx fan!!! Andreas

The whole of the Systems of Romance tour booklet will be reproduced on the Metamatic Website shortly. Some of the images from that (including The Visitor) have been 'repurposed' by John for the Impossible artwork... Rob

Cheers Rob!
I really, really wished I'd purchased a print of 'The Visitor' at Conningsby - it was my favourite one. If he ever does a show like that again I'll have to give it serious consideration.

...I've just seen the covers..... (drools) They are amazing!!. Arguably John's most interesting and striking album covers... and it's great to see a new version of the original TPOE sleeve idea. I think I'm more excited about the sleeves than the albums inside them!!!

Really, I mean, imagine the John and Louis full on treatment of this song. Lyrically John is a God, but truly, it would sell masses if covered. Imagine the scene at a gig. The lights dim, dry ice on the stage, and then John with his distinct phrasing stands behind his equipment to go into the following: - Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle
With your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
And I knowed love was here to stay
When she told me to
Walk this way
talk this way
Walk this way
talk this way
Walk this way
talk this way
Just gimme a kiss

With the same drum sounds on 'Your Kisses Burn' and a vocoder on the chorus - I think you've got it covered!

Dunno really - it depends on how well they sell. If there are any left over, then it's fair to say that some of them will be available to buy at Cargo... Originally posted by MemberD:

One question: will the CDs also be avalable at the Venice/Marghera gig? (hope so). There's no reason why not, but it all depends on what John and Louis (and Chris 1 / Chris 2) are allowed to take with them weight-wise. There inevitably comes a point where taking too much merchandise becomes uneconomical. Rob

My John Foxx collection is beginning to look impressive. Many years ago I was wondering where John had disappeared to. Since the release of Shifting City and Cathedral Oceans in 1997 John has been colossal. Thanks to all who have supported John through these years of hard work and artistry brilliance. Hope to see Impossible and Neuro Video advertised at Townsend Records. Chris

Rob [/b]Ok..fair enough! Even though the Cargo gig is 5 weeks less 2 days away..(is that all?). We'll see nearer the time. Easy Jet allow 20 kg per person BTW. It's 7 quid for each KG over (I should know.... :rolleyes: )

Two very cool releases to look forward to, and hints of even more after those! A completely new album of work for 09 please! Sometime in the fall so there’s something great to look forward to, no pressure

And any idea how soon? By now someone must have some idea how many copies these CDs can be expected to sell, so it doesn't seem unreasonable that a certain amount could be made available for ordering by the time of the Cargo show.

Rob, these interviews - will it be one interview CD to accompany each album, or just a single/double CD where he covers them all at once?

It's inevitably going to depend on how much John has to say about each album, and how much 'extra' material can be identified. Ideally, there'll be a double-disc for each album, but I can't say for sure at the moment - and we're not going to know until we start assembling them. Rob

This has come as a nice surprise. I make that 7 CDs + the single with Jori + the vinyl remixes this year! Is 2008 John's most prolific year ever? I think I will have to get the large fellow in the red coat to deliver a few of these

I'll also add that the interview discs (for The Garden, The Golden Section and In Mysterious Ways) aren't likely to get released until sometime in the new year. So there's plenty of time to start saving... Rob

I've just worked out that the Cargo gig is two days past the 25th anniversary of the 1st time I saw John Foxx live! Can't believe it! (Where have all those years gone??? ). 6 new John Foxx cd's in a matter of weeks ...and a promise of more in the new year! It's never been a better time to be a John Foxx fan. Here's another person who needs more room to house all of these ....I'm not complaining though!

Rob - are the tracks on Impossible "live" studio session tracks as per the Exotour and LFARABAAC or are they more conventional studio recordings (if you see what I"m trying to say!)

Don't know if you anyone else has seen this from JF myspace blog: Wednesday, October 15, 2008 Impossible Just put up 'Friendly Fire' as a taster for the new John Foxx & Louis Gordon album, Impossible. It's one of a handful of tracks where they've experimented with a different arrangement around an old drum machine. There's lot's of analogue noise across the 12 tracks; vocal effects hiss, crackle and distort; rough edges have been left in, if a drum machine or synthesizer splutters it's not smoothed over. The intention is to create something very atmospheric and alive. Hopefully the artwork, lyrics and music all feel like a cohesive package. It's an album about dreams, fears, Impossible stuff . . . something that can be both frightening and inspiring at the same time . . . The album features two new tracks - Adult Concerns and Walk This Way - plus ten completely new versions: The full tracklisting is as follows: Adult Concerns, A Million Cars, From Trash, Impossible, Friendly Fire, X-Ray Vision, The Man Who Dies Every Day, Walk This Way, Dislocation, Drive, The One Who Walks Through You, Crash And Burn. It will be available - along with the new live album Neuro Video - at today's Cargo show, London, Saturday's gig in Venice and then from www.townsend-records.co.uk See you later! Steve

Yeah, I got the email and ordered them, too. So now I'm waiting for them, and a replacement copy of TGS (glitch-free, I hope), and the new reissues of Vienna and Rage in Eden.

Hooray! The Gondola's turned up! I'll just log on to Townsend right away and order 'em...and with the swift speed that Townsend's website employs I should be able to 'add to cart' by 2011 Joking aside, just glad they're now available!

) or the mental image I have of John Foxx doing a cover of Aerosmith the way you guys have described it -- I can hear it perfectly and I LOVE it! Rob, can you use your influence to persuade the Quiet Man to make it happen?!
