Product Description

Album Description

*Following the success of last year's re-issue of "Metamatic", Edsel is proud to announce the release of the other three of John Foxx's groundbreaking albums for the Virgin label in newly-expanded 2 CD Editions with non-album tracks and previously unreleased material from the album sessions, newly re-mastered from the original tapes by Foxx himself.
*John Foxx formed Ultravox! in 1975, and the band recorded three influential albums for Island (one produced by Brian Eno), before Foxx decided to go solo in 1979.
*"The Garden", his second solo album, released in 1981, charted at number 24 in the UK, and was preceded by the singles "Miles Away" and "Europe After The Rain", both included here.
*Disc Two includes twelve bonus tracks: non-album a- and b-sides, rarities as well as 4 previously unreleased tracks. The booklet contains all of the beautiful "The Church" booklet that came free with initial copies of the LP along with lyrics to all the songs as well as rare photos and the singles sleeves

5.0 out of 5 stars Pottering about again in John's Garden!, 4 Oct 2008
By N. Taylor "CPL 593H" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Lordy Be! I remember lovingly finding a hallowed spot for the original glossy "Church" book which came with my 1981 vinyl.Who says Art and Music don't complement each other?! Top marks to the compilers at Edsel for reproducing this in the reissue's booklet.
Disc One contains a lovely warm yet crisp remastering of the album as was. Now,as I prefer to play the album, the whole album and nothing but the album sometimes,I love what Edsel/John/Steve/Rob@Metamatic.com et al have done with these 2CD Virgin Era remasters.By putting the out-takes, B sides etc. on a second disc you get a kind of alternate version of the album whilst maintaining similar content and style.
The bonus tracks are a mixed bag ranging from top flight B sides such as the gloriously sax drenched "Swimmer 1" and the Beatlesque "A Long Time" through to the slightly indulgent synth noodlings of "Swimmer 3" and "Swimmer 4". These latter two possibly being the seed of the "Cathedral Oceans" material? This is rounded off with alternate versions of tracks,some that went on to adorn "The Golden Section" sessions. I'd have liked a bit more info on these aforementioned alt versions as John admitted somewhere to trashing the best part of an album's worth of material in the next 18 months with only the original(and best) "Endlessly" single of June 1982 appearing.
To sum up, a perfect companion to the recent 2CD reissue of "Metamatic".
On a personal note, I always felt "The Garden" to be something of a long lost cousin to Ultravox!'s 1978 classic "Systems Of Romance" Even the title makes a re appearance as track 2 along with highly talented guitarist Robin Simon
Perhaps the reason John is so criminally under appreciated lies in the fact that "The Garden" and "Metamatic" are such different albums it fair takes your breath away! But,hey, such is the nature of Genius! Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Great Album - Great Extra Disc', 26 Oct 2008
By Antony May (East Sussex, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I remember as a kid eagerly awaiting the top forty rundown and hoping that 'Europe After The Rain' from the original version of this album had gone up. I was so disappointed when I realised that, in fact, the single had dropped out of the chart altogether having reached just no 40. Ever since those days, I guess I'd viewed that single and this album as somewhat of a 'my gain and everyone else's loss' kind of record. To see the original album re-released with a bonus disc of extra tracks is therefore a 'bit of a result ' for me.

The original album still sounds good to these years even now and 'Europe..', 'Dancing Like A Gun' (the second flop single), 'You Were There' et all provide a 'very arty but enjoyable' listen so this collection is still worth buying even if you are not interested in the extra disc.

If you ARE interested in the extra disc however, you will be delighted with it. Not only does it include some worthwhile unreleased material (the atmospheric instrumental 'Fog' and the more organic sounding 'Dance with Me (early version)' being especially good) but it collates together a number of the little heard (or little played in my case) b sides from singles, including both sides of the non-lp single 'Miles Away' (which, incidentally is about as Gary Numan as John ever sounded). A lot of the second disc is experimental or instrumental but it is obviously 'of the period' and thus makes an interesting diversion to listen to if you don't fancy another bash of the original lp. The sound quality is great on both discs and the colour booklet has all the lyrics AND a smaller version of the booklet that came with the vinyl Lp at the time.

A great re-issue and one that will surely enhance Foxx's standing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great issue, well-packaged and strong second disc, 11 Aug 2009
By M. B. Wilson "crushtrash" (Bristol) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is the last Foxx 2-CD reissues I chose to purchase, mainly because his recent material like "Crash & Burn"/"From Trash" led me back to "Metamatic" era more easily than his lusher pop-tinged moments.

However I am really glad I did buy this reissue as it sounds excellent, and arguably has the strongest second disc of the Edsel special releases. It does include a couple of meandering instrumentals (on second disc) but these sit quite nicely between the alternative takes, single only release "Miles Away" and demos.

Disc one also sounds superb, crisp and multi-layered, injecting life into the material that I wasn't really expecting.

Even if you have got the earlier "Garden plus" issue I would recommend buying this expanded set, as its a great listen and superbly packaged.
