The debut album by John Foxx And The Maths. Interplay is a collaboration between John Foxx and electronic composer and synthesizer collector, Benge (Ben Edwards). He’s best known for his 2008 album, Twenty Systems which was described by Brian Eno as ‘a brilliant contribution to the archaeology of electronic music.’ Moody and atmospheric, but also full of songs that are actually more ‘’pop’’ than avant garde, Interplay pulls various strands of electronic music together – from early ‘80s electro to 70s Krautrock, even flashes of Cabaret Voltaire and Foxx’s first band, Ultravox! One track, ‘Watching A Building On Fire’ features Mira Aroyo from Ladytron, who also came up with the original synth riff. Although Interplay sounds nothing like the ambient experiments of Twenty Systems, both albums are based around the waves, frequencies and vibrations of analogue synthesizers. Many of the songs on the new Maths album started with an electronic rhythm from a 1960s Moog system built into Benge’s studio, with the pair then coming up with ideas live in the studio. As Benge says, ‘the idea of Interplay is in the lyric from the title-track. ‘We calculated everything, but not the interplay’. In the studio we left a lot of things to chance and let the various combinations of sounds and colours and connections trigger our imaginations.’ Foxx and Benge will be performing tracks from the album, plus a selection of early Ultravox material (with Robin Simon on guitar) and material from Foxx’s dark electro classic Metamatic at the Troxy, London on 2nd April, alongside live sets by Gary Numan and Motor. This follows their triumphant analogue performance last summer at the Roundhouse as the headliner of the 2010 Short Circuit festival. Meanwhile in recent years John Foxx has also collaborated with I, Robot film director Alex Proyas, writer Iain Sinclair and Robin Guthrie (ex-Cocteau Twins). He’s currently working on new material with Paul Daley (Leftfield). ‘Foxx’s music still sounds futuristic, accompanied by flickering footage and images of design that never dates: imagined cityscapes, endless motorways. As these time machines whirr to silence, it’s clear that Mr Foxx is still fantastic.’ NME review of John Foxx, the Roundhouse, June 2010. ‘One of the finest electronic records you’ll hear in 2011.’ The Quietus ‘Meeting of synth-fetishists is a triumph. The albums echoes four decades of avant pop.’ **** Mojo ‘Foxx has released an album which equals the high-point of his rich back-catalogue.’ BBC ‘One of the most enlightened synth records in years.’ **** The Stool Pigeon ‘Forceful, stripped-down music that sounds as new as its old, and as imaginative as it is familiar.’ Uncut Enigmatic but song-based, evoking early incarnations of Cabaret Voltaire, The Human League and Roxy Music.’ Q Magazine ‘Interplay is a consistently strong piece of work.’ **** Music OMH ‘Synthesizer archivist Benge (aka The Maths) turns out to be a superb foil for Foxx.’ The Wire ‘Fresh and powerful. Tracks move from glistening-crisp and growling-fierce to tender, the latter mood captured by the melancholic beauty of ‘A Falling Star’ and ‘The Good Shadow’.’ **** Clash Magazine Artist John Foxx And The Maths Genre Electronica , Rock And Pop Label Metamatic Records Buying Options 180g 1LP Format 180g , 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings 1/Shatterproof 2/Catwalk 3/Evergreen 4/Watching A Building On Fire 5/Interplay 6/Summerland 7/The Running Man 8/A Falling Star 9/Destination 10/The Good Shadow Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from John Foxx And The Maths and more from Electronica View Product Quick View John Foxx And The Maths The Machine Rock And Pop | Metamatic Records | 1LP Released 22nd September 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Foxx And The Maths The Machine £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Metamatic Records SKU: META62LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Foxx And The Maths The Shape Of Things Electronica | Metamatic Records | 180g, 1LP Released 14th September 2012 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Foxx And The Maths The Shape Of Things £17.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Metamatic Records SKU: META29LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 14th September 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View DJ Manny Signals In My Head Electronica | Planet Mu | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 30th July 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders DJ Manny Signals In My Head £20.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Planet Mu SKU: ZIQ435 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 30th July 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Toro Y Moi Outer Peace (Limited Indies Exclusive) Electronica | Carpark Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 25th January 2019 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Toro Y Moi Outer Peace (Limited Indies Exclusive) £17.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Carpark Records SKU: CAK131LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 25th January 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Daniel Maunick Macumba Quebrada Electronica | Far Out Records | 2LP Released 25th October 2019 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Daniel Maunick Macumba Quebrada £25.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Far Out Records SKU: FARO214LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 25th October 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Telex Telex Electronica | Mute | 6LP, Box Set Released 14th April 2023 £121.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Telex Telex £121.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Mute SKU: TELEXBOX1 Formats: 6LP, Box Set Released Date: 14th April 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View PLS PLS Jet Black Electronica | Slimstyle | 1LP Released 7th April 2017 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders PLS PLS Jet Black £25.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Slimstyle SKU: 0705438009396 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th April 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Chase & Status 2 Ruff Vol.1 – Limited Edition Electronica | EMI | 2LP Released 27th October 2023 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Chase & Status 2 Ruff Vol.1 – Limited Edition £30.00 Genre: Electronica Label: EMI SKU: EMIV 2107 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 27th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Late Night Alumni Echos Electronica | Alumni Records | 1LP Released 6th October 2023 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Late Night Alumni Echos £32.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Alumni Records SKU: LNA0323 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 6th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sextile Push Electronica | Sacred Bones Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 15th September 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sextile Push £25.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Sacred Bones Records SKU: SBR330LPC Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 15th September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Douglas Dare Omni Electronica | Erased Tapes | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 10th May 2024 £26.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Douglas Dare Omni £26.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Erased Tapes SKU: ERATP165LE Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 10th May 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cornelius Point Electronica | House Arrest | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 1st November 2019 £24.00 - £27.00 Select options Cornelius Point £24.00 - £27.00 Genre: Electronica Label: House Arrest Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 1st November 2019 Read More Select options See more in Electronica Start again
