Product Description
CD Description
· “Torn Sunset” is a brand new ambient album from the influential synthesizer innovator (and 80s hitmaker) John Foxx, uniquely paired with Soft Machine’s saxophonist Theo Travis, who has also worked with Robert Fripp, David Sylvian and Porcupine Tree. · John Foxx linked up with Theo Travis after seeing him sound-checking at a Harold Budd concert in Brighton, “using loops and long delays”. According to John’s note in the booklet, he thought at first of “singing into Theo’s music”, but ultimately decided that it would work by “extending the piano harmonics through reverberation and making other harmonic links”.

The music on this album is reverberated flute set against a background of gentle piano, washes of synth and other electronics. To me it sounds like a higher quality version of some of the background music you can hear in alternative therapy clinics up and down the country. I was waiting for the whale song to kick in, but thankfully none appeared. There's nothing wrong with this album, I just thought it was very average. I've played it a few times since I bought it and it's nice to have it on, it just lacks some of the edge and originality that other Foxx albums have. Perhaps he's been too prolific lately - he's certainly pumping out the albums. However, at £3.99 with free postage you can't go wrong.

I felt compelled to rate the CD a blissful 5.
For me, the sound-scapes generated are a tender, transcendent, nourishing environment and are richly generous in their ability to broaden my breadth of inner vision.
The flute work throughout embraces and lifts or lulls the mind into a diffusive array of otherness.
Yes, this trip is almost always worth the effort of careful listening whilst motionless.
A glory to behold.

Gorgeous - in a word. Travis' rich, liquidy playing flows through the album while John Foxx goes in search of melodies within the big swirl. It's intelligent, intricate stuff that rewards each listen.

I fet that I should write a review because John Foxx released 4 albums last year and it's easy when someone is that prolific to miss the good stuff. Read more
