Description

Avenham is about a feeling. Its a place John Foxx kNew as a young man but its more than a location. Its less defined, more dispersed and mysterious than that. As Foxx says I think the point of music is to remain open enough for everyone to invest with their own experiences and memories, so Im not going to explain too much, he says of the album which has echoes of his own London Overgrown recordings but also Drift Music with Harold Budd, his My Lost City album and the Ghost Harmonic project.Avenham is always a mystery, anyway even to me and Ive been going there for over sixty years. Its a real place, thats also as mythical as the gates of Eden. So the music is likewise nebulous and impressionistic I hope not simply nostalgic, but redolent of myriad memories and sensations, and of the view from here to a time which occurs in almost everyones life, when the world becomes a radiant place of infinite mystery and promise and everything seems possible. John Foxx is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £10 +P&P
