Cheers for this.

This goes back a long way.
There was a conversation between Jeremy Greenspan and John Foxx convened by Mark Fisher for 'Dazed & Confused' magazine in October 2006

It follows a recent listing here of Metamatic in the Junior Boys Top 10

I believe Junior Boys were also among the contributors to Artrocker's Foxx week in 2011?

Not a recording artist this time, but our good friend Jonathan Barnbrook who cites Foxx as an influence in his work:

Does anything come to mind that excited you visually, and you sought inspiration from, before beginning your career, that still resonates with you?

The musician John Foxx�his music, his artwork and his writing. He has been a constant influence on the themes I am interested in, and the visual language I use. The beauty he sees. The themes he is concerned with very closely match my own. I design his album covers, now, which I feel very lucky to do.

Thanks for sharing that

NEON .... no, I've no idea either, but they're well known in New Zealand and they play in a cathedral!

Quote:
"A lot of early electronic keyboard musicians like John Foxx of Ultravox really used the keyboard as a tool to express themselves and technical proficiency didn't really come into it..."

Foxx / Ultravox now offically 'Dad rock' !!

Quote:

And my dad�s got a massive record collection...[...]... the thing that really caught my attention that he had was [Ultravox founder and electro pioneer] John Foxx. That was one of the first things that really caught my ear.

Magnetic Fields (Stephin Merritt):

Quote:

New wave taught him to play the synth and resent his mother�s new creep of a boyfriend because �He hates Neu and Can, Cluster, Eno and Japan�. It also introduced him to John Foxx. �He personified the rational man of the future, using technology indistinguishable from magic,� Merritt told the audience.

Thanks Membs

There is to be a track on this album called

Foxx And I

Not exactly "new" but ...

lookin' out a dirty ol' window...

�Ricky�s influences at the time included Ultravox, John Foxx, Gary Numan, The Skids, Sex Pistols, Clash, Kraftwerk and The Stranglers,� says Kim. �Those were the records he was listening to non-stop, and those were the kind of records he wanted to make. He wanted to combine that synth element with a pop and rock sensibility to make the new sound. He had it very clearly in his head, and Kids In America really embodies that sound.�
