The Garden
Genre: John Foxx
3.5 out of 5
Highlights:
Systems of Romance
I want so badly to wax poetic on the history of Ultravox and their legacy and Foxx’s tenure and what it meant when he left to create Metamatic. But I am just unable. I’m not as well versed as I should be, considering their placement on the Pete Frame New Romantic org chart.
This album is more aggressive than what Ultravox would put out when he left. Vienna was a masterpiece and Metamatic was pretty damned good. This one is much more experimental and dark. It doesn’t just have edges, it has serrated edges that are rusty from being left out in the rain.
I think Adam Ant spent too much time listening to Foxx and Foxx spent too much time worshipping Bowie.
Not a lot to hold on to here.
