John Foxx and the Maths etc.

You know it ain´t easy
No easy to live
And always have your fingers crossed
Instead of other things

And then came you
You ripped me apart
You saved my soul
And you stole my heart

I did not know who I was
I was lost at that time
And always had my fingers crossed
Instead of all lies

And then came you
You teared me apart
You stole my soul
And you saved my heart

Instead Of All Lies

Boogie Beams

Ilan Volkov and Ohad Fishof — Boogie Beams (Stellage, 2021)

Interplay, the new album from JOHN FOXX & THE MATHS, sees a return to his Metamatic framework, and yet oozes contemporary electro aesthetics. Containing tracks suitable for dancefloors and yet encouraging with the seductive warmth of Benge's magnificent analogue studio the donning of headphones in repose, this album is a marked jump into digestible territory from his recent D.N.A release. And yet, it is classically 'Foxx', whilst still referencing DAF and KRAFTWERK, his early ULTRAVOX work, and nodding to the electro legacy his early work brought forth including GOLDFRAPP, ANTHONY ROTHER and MISS KITTIN. For appreciators of a strong synth melody this album is utter heaven, as there is no finer pedigree than vintage analogue for producing warmth and depth, and yet soaring euphoria: this album's sonic breadth leaves weedy 21st century plug ins in the shade, and listening on a good stereo or through quality headphones is very much encouraged for the ultimate reward.

Lyrically JOHN FOXX is in an intriguing mood: gone is his contemplation of the car crash, the urban isolationist, the failed connection, replaced throughout the album with contemplations of a more philosophical, dare one say spiritual nature. References seem to abound to mythical, mystical places, worlds beyond worlds, shadow lands, dream scapes. Foxx is taking his imagination beyond his Plazas and grey streets, away from technology and communication, towards something more unknowable: one might almost consider he spent a summer reading Tolkien before getting to work on this album, but that's not something we should be frightened of. In the hands of Foxx and Benge, the unknowable idea is supported by liquid-like synthetic context, leading us into warm dream, melancholy introversion, and not always, but definitely sometimes to the dancefloor to shake out the cobwebs of stranger places.

This beautiful, dark, analogue electronic soundtrack by John Foxx And The Maths is described as 'eerie', 'evocative' and 'a triumphant score of chest-crushing anxiety' by The Independent and The Guardian.

This album also features new mixes created especially for The Machine. Abstract, atmospheric vocals by John Foxx and Elizabeth Bernholz (Gazelle Twin). Artwork is by Jonathan Barnbrook.

John Foxx And The Maths - The Other Mother

this sound is my first (well, second or third) exploration of the error instruments sonic lullaby eurorack module which basically places a music box and a contact mic on a module. it's absolutely beautiful and so much fun. not just the bell sounds of the music box, but all of the mechanical noises and squeaks as well.

this modular patch is quite simple:

sonic lullaby > make noise moraphagene > three sisters filter > intellijel rainmaker

there's a bit of bricasti M7 reverb on the end

enjoy!

Dresden (John Foxx and The Maths Remix)

Jeremy Young recently released Filaments on Eliane Tapes, Moving Furniture's sporadic series of work inspired by the remarkable French composer Éliane Radigue. The series was inaugurated with a release by Kassel Jaeger back in early 2018, and after a long silence two new tapes have just been released. To mark this occasion, we invited Young to produce a mix. Like me, Young is an American living in Montréal, Canada, so it was also nice to discover some connections between us. Young works primarily with reel-to-reel tape and contact miked objects and has worked on a wide variety of projects including sound-poetry and audio-visual scoring. We at ACL have long been fans of Jeremy's solo work as szilárd, and especially his trio Sontag Shogun and their predecessor (The) Slowest Runner (In All The World). And so it is our great pleasure to present Je Suis Mon Absence.
