john foxx: 20th century the noise

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.
