Rena Pass level: Promoter Registered: Thu, 03 Mar 2005 20:00:00 Posts: 226 Loc: Magdeburg, Deutschland	Well...once more then! take a look at: www.John.Foxx.de.vu You´ll find a forum, a guestbook, info´s on John Foxx and the Ultravox! island years. There´s also a gallery, a discography, news... and so on. Have fun! BP Btw: I got all the pictures from the internet as I don´t have a digicam or a scanner or whatsoever, nor did I visit any concerts to show my own pics. The pictures have no copyright but if you find a picture which is yours: please let me know and within a reasonable time I´ll delete it or put your name under it. I´ll also be happy about some new stuff which you´d like to see at that page. Language: german and english!

When i was a naive and uneducated 16 year old (when it came out) i used to wonder what the hell it was about. Decided it must be about filming? Amazing track; i also liked "Dislocation" - another experimental b-side. Grant

Mrs. X Pass level: Access All Areas Registered: Tue, 01 Jun 2004 19:00:00 Posts: 2664 Loc: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada	"Dislocation" is on Systems Of Romance. Great song! Definitely one in a style that John Foxx would follow early in his solo career. It also doesn't make it surprising that songs like "He's A Liquid" and "Touch & Go" would have originated during Foxx' time in Ultravox. Although, in a way, I'm glad he took them and recorded them for himself, because I never really liked much how they sounded live with Ultravox in 1979... (Don't hurt me!!) "Cross Fade" took a bit of getting used to, having only somewhat recently heard it. It's still not one of my favourite Ultravox tracks, but it's pretty good. Mrs. X

Mr. Weirdo Congratulations on your 1,000th post! Registered: Wed, 10 Nov 2004 20:00:00 Posts: 1000 Loc: land of the lost souls ...	"cross fade" could be about mixin' one source of audio / video material into another one - like deejays nowadays do it , when they use a so-called "crossfader" @ their mixer !!! anyway ... a very "advanced" songtitle back then !!!

But it is indeed on "S.O.R." ! It has what appears to be a first appearance of the so-called Metal Beat in the style of percussion. Must admit i was greatly taken with the whole weirdness of John Foxx and stuck with him over the years. Grant

I haven't looked back on either since. Mrs. X
