38 - JOHN FOXX & THE MATHS - INTERPLAYThis was made to make you feel good. It mixes post-punk, goth and electro-pop. It's the past dreaming of the future and it's pretty foxxy.
John Foxx was born in 1947 (!) and is a singer, artist, graphic designer, photographer and teacher. He's from the county I was born in, in England (Lancashire) and I have only just discovered him thanks to the newsletter of my favourite record shop http://www.resident-music.com/ in Brighton.
Now I feel a bit uncouth praising an artist I know little about, but it's a nice opportunity to check out a huge back-catalogue of material.
As for this album, it's pop-vocoder heaven as Foxx plays with a lot of different styles. I don't wanna say it recalls Brian Eno, David Bowie or Gary Numan as he's their peer really, albeit an understated one. But I look forward to getting into his material soon and being transported into the past future.
