Thanks to all who made these free downloads possible. They are a treat for the loyal John Foxx fan, but is Townsend promoting them in any other way to attract those who are as yet uninitiated?

I agree — and I'm known to be not particularly fond of remixes.
I like Steve's suggestions for some of the artists who could lend a hand, and from a marketing perspective I fully agree with his conclusion,

High-profile remixes are more likely to reach a new audience and spark renewed journalistic interest in John Foxx's career in a way that the recent glut of all-too-similar recordings and repurposes/repackages saturating the market as placeholders until a
full album of previously unheard, original material straggles its way out of the studio next year (she says with breath bated and fingers crossed) will not.
