You will love great tracks such as Underpass and Europe After The Rain. This album is timeless, with tracks ranging from 1980-2001.The music is as fresh today as it was 0ver 28 years ago. John was one of the most influential solo artists of his day, he became the first all electro solo artist and was an inspiration to many young bands of the early 80s. I bought this album/cd because i loved his music in the 80s and have the great album Metamatic. So if you loved the 80s music, you will love this dont just take my word for it check it out for yourself.
i loved the way most out there blamed gary numan for inventing one man synthipop ok for some this review might smack of retro but im only 15yrs young and heard john foxx billowing from my dads hi fi tho most of the original songs on this cd were early to mid 1980s and are classic after classic for anyone who may be toying with notion of obtaining a john foxx album youd make a good start with this one it leaves anyhing by gary numan in the dust if not then ill burn my NIN t shirt mr foxxs influence was and still is understated.
Short and simple - I bought this item to replace a badly scratched copy I already had. This disc is an excellent introduction to John's work, although lacking the sterling stuff he produced with the original and best Ultravox line up, there is enough here to show why John was a pioneer of electro/synth music and yet somehow apart from that scene as well. I can't explain it enough in words - give this album a listen and you'll know what I'm on about!
john foxx has always had enduring appeal as he is hard to pigeon hole as an artist...he is by design a complex and sophisticated artist combining choral harmonies..crystal clear vocals soaring synth riffs and ethereal choruses.. foxx has always had an eye for quality and the recordings are always beautifully produced..high points...underpass & he's a liquid....ice cold synth cool at its best...stars on fire and europe after the rain...unintentional double entendre....'enter the angel'...hehehehehe.. if you like anything synth-ish at all buy this...the best thing is its homegrown talent...enjoy!
