I love Foxx's work - the albums he made fronting Ultravox! were very good.
His solo albums from the 1980s like Metamatic, The Garden, The Golden Section and In Mysterious Ways are excellent - I have them all.
But where he really appeals seminally robustly is his 90s/00s onwards stuff which is ambient
Cathedral Oceans I, II and II
Translucence/Drift Music (with Harold Budd)
and his latest masterpiece from 2015 London Overgrown
A couple of ambient highlights
Any other fans of his work?

Re: John Foxx
He’s in Electronic Sound magazine pretty much every month, chatting about some new project or other, often with a dude called Benge, who has a big synth collection.
I’ve got a couple of albums, but nothing really stands out.
I don’t have Metamatic. Maybe I should?

He'll never run out of money, because, whenever there's a release of "The greatest new wave album....ever" or "The greatest punk album....ever", he always appears with "Underpass", as does, strangely, Jona Lewis with "You'll always find me in the kitchens at parties"

I enjoyed that

This is literally all I clicked into this thread to say. Land of kings, innit. It's not only New York which has a Flat Iron landmark.
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.
