The Visionary Music of John Foxx

August 14, 2009

I am new to this group, so forgive me if John Foxx has been discussed before. I wanted to mention him as he belongs, to my thinking, at the top echelon of musical genius and transcendence. I recall when I was 21 years old and had just met my future husband, he played Foxx with Ultravox, the song "Dangerous Rhythm". It was like philosophy to me. Also, his solo album with "This City" and many others. After many years, and my husband's death, (causing me to feel I can no longer listen to music) I can still hear Foxx's haunting voice and electronic soaring in my mind's ear. Other than a few songs by Morrissey, Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Brian Ferry and Eno, and Eminem, (plus the song, "I'm Blue" from 2002) I can think of no other music so visionary and neo-classical as that of John Foxx. I am wondering how to get access to Foxx's music online? I have lost all my CDs and MP3 player with his songs.
