Alongside the raw, icy aggression of vocal-led "Burning Car" and "Miss Machinery", this collection of instrumental music from 1980 initially appeared on the 2018 Metamatic box set (META 063CD). Now on vinyl for the first time to celebrate Metamatic's 40th anniversary in January 2020, this is a haunted, at times beautiful electronic soundtrack which stands as a sister album to the main work.

An expanded reissue of John Foxx's Metamatic, originally released in 1980. The original ten-track album was remastered from analog tapes back in 2014, along with various B sides. A few tapes full of instrumental music from the session were also set aside for remastering but these revealed further discoveries, including alternative mixes and the song "Miss Machinery" -- a mutant, electro-punk twist on Foxx B side, "20th Century". Meanwhile John Foxx assembled his notebooks from the period which included lists of possible track titles that have now been used for the unreleased material on this album. Some of the notes were also scanned for the artwork, along with previously unseen photos as well as rare drawings and illustrations by the artist. Jonathan Barnbrook (regular Foxx collaborator and Bowie's Blackstar designer) worked on the new reissue design as the project grew to 49 tracks across three CDs. This includes the 15 instrumentals on the third CD, which collectively sound like a lost electronic soundtrack with echoes of Quatermass, BBC's Radiophonic Workshop, and the dark DIY electronics of Thomas Leer and Robert Rental. Features Previously unreleased tracks; every B side, outtake, and unreleased track has been taken from the best possible source and (re)mastered over the last four years. Triple-CD in clamshell box; Includes six art cards and 40-page booklet with previously unseen photos and rare drawings and illustrations by John Foxx; 2014 remaster of Metamatic album from analog tapes.

This vinyl-only release comes in a lavish gatefold sleeve designed by Jonathan Barnbrook, designer of David Bowie's Blackstar (2016). The release is limited to 750 individually numbered copies. Inspired by a rare Japanese six-track mini-album of the same name that included singles and B-sides from the 1980 Metamatic era, this release expands that concept into a full 12-track LP featuring tracks such as "This City," "My Face," "Mr No," "Glimmer," and the title-track, all mastered and cut for this release. This is the first time that "Like A Miracle (Alternative Version)" and "Young Love" have appeared on vinyl.

London Overgrown is a project that John Foxx has been working on for years, inspired by his own experiences of London -- including an abandoned, overgrown Shoreditch in the early 1980s -- futuristic visions of a derelict city dating back to the sci-fi of the Quatermass TV series (which he watched as a child), and a strong desire to propose "an actual city," as John Foxx puts it. "A plan for London. A beautiful new overgrown city. Perhaps this may be initiated gradually, by obtaining permission to allow a street or two to become overgrown, them it may come to be seen as a Post Carbon City, a way of greening London. Let's practice vertical gardening all over buildings everywhere. Create the Hanging Gardens of Shoreditch, The Glades of Soho, encourage London to become a truly green city. Let's resurrect Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens. Allow Hyde Park to spread through Soho to the river. Encourage Hampstead Heath to meet Richmond Park at its borders, via all the squares and gardens and rooftops, right across London..." The ambient electronic music forms immersive soundscapes for an empty, overgrown city; a wordless relative of John Foxx's Cathedral Oceans CD (1997).

2014 release. John Foxx's solo instrumental album was recorded and assembled for a cut-up/collage movie by John Foxx and visual artist Karborn, inspired by the themes, influence, and text of British novelist J. G. Ballard. Screened as part of Brighton's Cine-City festival in late 2012, the pair described the work as "a film and sound seance manifesting J G Ballard neurones. Mobilised by ultracolour and inframusic, anatomised hallucinogenetics and proximity psychopathagens." The montage movie -- often beautiful and surreal in its collision of images -- can be viewed online at hyperballard.com or on Vimeo (vimeo.com/95105838). The album features two collaborations -- "Geometry, Collision and Coincidence" with Benge from John Foxx and the Maths, and "Disaster Series," which was co-written with Steve D'Agostino. All the music is exclusive to this soundtrack except "The Other Side," an extract from John Foxx's as-yet-unreleased Electricity & Ghosts album which just happened to fit with the visuals. The soundtrack runs as a continuous piece of music in the first part of B-Movie including effects and links that relate to the film. The second half of the album features all the individual tracks plus "Dashboard Melt," which Foxx recorded for the project but in the end didn't use. Jonathan Barnbrook's stunning artwork for the album features Ballard-inspired images created by Karborn.

2010 release. This features unique collaborations between John Foxx and some of his favorite film-makers, with all of the short movies on the DVD being made especially for this project. On top of that, the CD features all the music for the films, plus tracks that John Foxx had recorded as "possibilities" for soundtracks. The final track on the disc, "Over the Mirage," is a collaboration between John Foxx, Harold Budd, and Ruben Garcia, while both parts ("2" and "7") of A Secret Life (META 022CD), as well as "Violet Bloom," were recorded with Steve D'Agostino. Ex-Japan percussionist Steve Jansen also features on the A Secret Life instrumentals. All of the stunning artwork for the project was designed by Jonathan Barnbook, who has previously worked with Damien Hirst and also David Bowie, designing the sleeves and inner booklets for his Heathen (2002) and Reality (2003) albums. Includes films by Karborn, D'Agostino, Ian Emes, Macoto Tezka, and Barnbrook.

2009 release. John Foxx's My Lost City was mostly recorded at John Foxx's Shoreditch studio, The Garden, between 1981 and 1985. "I hadn't listened to the recordings that are being released as the My Lost City album since they were made, over twenty years ago," says John Foxx. "When I played them I was struck by the way they evoke a time and a place -- and how I'd been unaware of this when they were made. Then they seemed like fragments, unfinished and unsatisfying. A stop on the way to somewhere else... Now they seem like a time capsule discovered from under the streets. Made by someone else. Like an old radio tuned into a long gone station. Curious psychic electricals, crackling distantly from the speakers... They were recorded in East London. Back then, Shoreditch and Spitalfields were abandoned, dark and forgotten, yet only a step away from the City of London, the country's financial dynamo. I built a studio in the basement of an old Edwardian department store -- trees growing from the upper storeys when we moved in. I remember trying to make connections in this little laboratory between synthesizers and hymns and cities, churches, electricity and memory." For two decades the material remained untouched; just some old, forgotten tapes buried away in storage until they were rescued in late 2008. Apart from some minor remixing, they're essentially the sound of analog synthesizers and a lost era when the area around the now bustling, brutally hip, and ultra-expensive Hoxton Square was still an abandoned, deserted area of London. A kind of industrial ghost-town. John Foxx has since been experimenting as a film-maker (with a pioneering video for LFO's 1991 hit "LFO" and performances of his 2006 Super 8 project Tiny Colour Movies in Melbourne, London, and Barcelona), artist (with exhibitions in London and New York and the use of his images on the covers of books by Anthony Burgess and Salman Rushdie), and musician, and he's also developing a growing international reputation as a writer -- in 2009 he headlined a major literature festival where he read extracts from his unfinished novel The Quiet Man.

20th Century: The Noise covers the years from John Foxx's 1980 debut single, "Underpass," through the rest of the century, up to his "comeback" albums with Louis Gordon, Shifting City (1997) and Subterranean Omnidelic Exotour (1998). There's also a precious Cathedral Oceans (1997) gem, "Splendour," which has only ever been available on the rare compilation Orphée (Projekt, 2000). Also includes a previously unreleased instrumental track from the vaults, "Musique Electron" -- a melodic idea John Foxx has had "for decades." The Metamatic (1980) material is taken from the 2014 remaster, which is based on a set of 1979 analog tapes discovered in John Foxx's archive.
