4.0 out of 5 stars Only 4 unreleased tracks..., 22 Oct 2007
By D. Turner (Cardiff, Wales, U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Firstly the plus side to this 3rd (!) UK CD version of John Foxx's seminal electronic masterpiece 'Metamatic'.
We do get all the B-sides to the associated singles. Also, the out-take 'Young Man' from the first Virgin CD release is added - why this was left off Edsel's previous release is a mystery. And we do get 4 (yes 4) unreleased tracks and the Smash Hits flexi-single 'My Face'. Housed in a jewel-case (thank you Edsel - no more digi-pak's please!), the booklet is nicely sepia coloured and contains all the lyrics and some very stylish period photos of John. We've had the interview / review on the last re-issue so no great loss that one is missing here.
Now to the minus points.
Firstly, despite what the sticker on the case says (and other reviewers), there are only 4 unreleased tracks. The alternative version of 'He's A Liquid' has already appeared on the excellent 'Modern Art' compilation. And secondly, why isn't the remixed single version of 'No-One Driving' included? Or the 'Miles Away / A Long Time' single? Maybe there's a good explanation for this but CD space isn't one of them.
So, to sum up, if you haven't yet got one of the previous versions of this album on CD yet (and if so, why not?) this is a well-designed package of a defining moment in electronic music history. With just a little more care this could have been the definitive version. As it is I'm left feeling that we fans are being just a little bit ripped-off.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Youth Revisited....., 26 Oct 2007
By bish (Northampton) - See all my reviews
Forget Midge Ure and Gary Numan as talented as they were ... Mr Leigh (sorry Foxx) deserves all the plaudits for introducing the U.K.to electronic music, under the influence of Kraftwerk with this groundbreaking piece of work."Plaza","He's A Liquid","Underpass","No One Driving" and my personal favourite "030" form a completely astounding collection that deserves much greater credit."Miles Away" should have been included. Bought this on vinyl in 1982 aged 15-Pure genius.Buy this,open your mind, be prepared for barren,dystopian landscapes (similar to those portrayed in "A Clockwork Orange") and enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Way ahead of it's time..., 24 Aug 2007
By Robert Mcmahon - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Really looking forward to getting this special edition cd and seeing Foxx play the album live in Glasgow on October 4th,it's my favourite going out album and i love the themes of isolation,technology and emotional autism- a great album to listen to and watch city life play out before you from your window. If this album were released by,say, Warp records now as a new album the praise from electronic music fans would be great, it still sounds totally ahead of it's time 28 years later.
