Description
Foxx 34Recorded 19791980 at Pathway studios with Gareth Jones. Pathway was an eighttrack cupboard in Islington, North London, owned by two characters who wrote Fire039 for Arthur Brown. Very basic, very scruffy, very good.34Gareth was a hippy Freudian BBC dropout, and these were his first real recording sessions. He soon became an innovator. I was in retreat from bands, touring, etc. mightily convinced that electronics were the future, and reading too much J.G. Ballard.34I lived alone in Finsbury Park, spent my spare time walking the disused train lines, cycled to the studio every day and wobbled back at dawn, imagining I was the Marcel Duchamp of electropop. Metamatic was the result. It was the first British electronic pop album. It was minimal, primitive technopunk. Carcrash music tailored by Burtons.metamatic.com
