4.0 out of 5 stars
"Max Ernst with a sampler & a sunset" indeed...,
By Mr No (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Golden Section (Audio CD)
I've always rated this album highly - not as remote & dispassionate as "Metamatic" or as lush in texture as "The Garden" but demonstrating Foxx's avowed love of Psychedelia and surrealism with maybe some of his best vocal performances ever.
The extras are, in the main, worth having and maybe (I suspect) some of the "early versions" were recorded for the legendary "lost" album (was going to be called "In The Glow" I believe). The only totally "new" track on here ("Shine on Me") is a bit of a mess and therefore disappointing. The extended mix of "Endlessly" on here isn't as good as the one released on the original 12" single. Overall well worth having for the hardcore Foxx fan but maybe not for the more casual buyer so only four stars.

It Shimmers and it Glimmers.,

This review is from: The Golden Section (Audio CD)
Weird. We had to make do with vinyl only copies of John's finest 80's solo album until Edsel released the expanded version a few years back.
Now, we're treated to a double-CD deluxe edition which seems to be all the rage. CD one is "as is", the original album, chock full of great singles: Endlessly, Like A Miracle and my personal favourite from this album "Your Dress", which is a sort of synthpop power ballad with a little of Ron Grainers (or is it Delia Darbyshire's) Dr Who theme thrown in for good measure. Disc Two is where this album really shines; nice inclusions of b-sides such as the Beatlesque "Annexe" and "The Lifting Sky" and extended versions such as "Endlessly" and (never heard this) "Running Across Thin Ice". Shame there wasn't room for the inclusion of the extended "Like A Miracle", one of John's best 80's singles. I would say this shows John at the peak of his early-solo powers, tempered slightly on his next (and last) 80's solo effort, "In Mysterious Ways". Buy it!

Was a bit popier than I was expecting,
By
This review is from: The Golden Section (Audio CD)
I haven't been following John since Ultravox days and was excited to see what he's been up to lately. I found the album interesting and I'm glad I got it, but it was not what I was expecting (or I guess hoping for). I found many of the songs a bit too much like standard pop. There are a few tracks that I really like however and it may yet grow on me.
