Dali's Picture / Auffuhrung in Berlin

Second Skin (Live in Berlin)

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.
