Quotes
Jim Jupp: "I’ve been a huge fan of John’s work since Underpass came out. Metamatic and his later ‘80s solo albums were a big part of my adolescence. As a kid I’d always been drawn to electronic music mostly on TV soundtracks or from the likes of Jean Michel Jarre, but John Foxx for me neatly connected electronics to psychedelia and a more British sensibility. So he’s always been a huge part of my musical DNA and the chance to collaborate was immensely exciting."

Jon Brooks:"I discovered John Foxx’s Metamatic album some time in the late 1980s, I think it was 1987. I would have been in primary school when it came out, so it took me a few years to find it. Metamatic stayed with me. I still play it regularly."
