A first class album that retrospectively looks to the future, 18 May 2000

By A Customer

This is a first class album that fuses the best ideas of John Foxx - the sounds of Metamatic and The Garden together with his "Sixties pastiche" style. Curiously, it also sounds rather up to date, perhaps helped by Louis Gordon's electronic percussion.. Perhaps the John Foxx influence on modern music is such that it is difficult to date his work. It would be nice to hear more of this sort of thing but John will doubtless be back with something different.

The Return of John Foxx, 9 Mar 2000

By A Customer

John has alwasy been my hero. Not as popular as Gary Numan, but far more refined and intelligent (no - Numan is NOT intelligent - I like his music too, though). When I heard of this new release I immediately rushed out to buy, but my record store had only the simultanously published Cathedral Oceans (1 1/2 stars), which was very disappointing. One week later I bought SC however and couldn't believe my ears. This was like Metamatic II, nearly 20 years later. Great stuff.

For old times' sake, 10 Oct 2002

By	A. G. Bailey "Dadge" (Birmingham, - United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

After many requests JF finally made a new synthrock album a la Metamatic. I can't claim it's as good - one or two of the tracks are laboured and/or cliched - but it's a welcome change from what the major labels inflict on us in the name of pop music. One or two tracks have become favourites: Here We Go and An Ocean We Can Breathe are wonderfully atmospheric, and Concrete, Bulletproof, Invisible is wonderfully weird.
