DESCRIPTION:
JOHN FOXX & THE MATHS to support OMD for English Electric tour. Their NEW ALBUM 'EVIDENCE' has OVER 25 AMAZING REVIEWS! Here's what they said: 'Foxx has gone from creative strength to strength. This is probably Foxx's most superior post-Ultravox LP to date. Benge's signature technique (using very old analogue equipment to create very modern textures and music) has now gelled completely with Foxx's songwriting. The production is dynamic, rich and bold. The title track sounds like Joy Division, had the Mancunians continued their experiments with austere sounding synths; 'Changelings' is a remix of a Gazelle Twin song replete with new John Carpenter-esque synths and breathy 10cc-style multi-tracked backing vocals, and Foxx takes Pink Floyd's (now) slightly hackneyed anti-record label diabtribe 'Have A Cigar' and turns it into a luxurious bass and bleep electro that wouldn't sound out of place on DFA. Long may his creative renaissance continue.' BBC MUSIC

Evidence - the third album with Modular Moog-obsessive Ben 'Benge' Edwards, ferries the listener to a paranoid, dystopic, late-night city soundtracked by dense, pulsating synths, glacial melodies and ethereal half-sung, half-spoken vocals. Foxx's creative fires still burn white hot.' 4/5 MOJO

'His relationship with young producer Benge has seen Foxx release his best music since the glory days of early Ultravox and debut solo album Metamatic, and Evidence is even more brimful of sci-fi sensuality than last year's The Shape Of Things. Highlights include the dark house of Matthew Dear collaboration 'Talk (Beneath Your Dreams)' and two centre-piece excursions with Brighton electro maverick Gazelle Twin.' 4/5 UNCUT

'Foxx's legacy has come to be revered, with his influence on electronic music recognised by the likes of The Orb and LFO. Evidence, Foxx's third album in 3 years with The Maths, provides plenty of evidence why. The tracks are crafted and atmospheric and the collaborations serve to anchor the album in the present rather than the past.' THE WIRE

'Evidence offers 15 tracks of escapist, dreamlike 'ballads', glowing with sprawling analogue paranoia and grimy, debased atmospheres. The beauty lies in the music's simplicity, of which the duo revel effortlessly throughout, as if they couldn't be having more fun if they tried.' 8/10 BARCODE

'Foxx has refreshed his creative music with consistently excellent work in recent years. Lush and romantic, Evidence is the kind of timeless electronic album you can dream inside.' 8/10 CLASSIC ROCK

'John Foxx And The Maths are poets of electronic music and this release remains vibrant throughout its entirety. 'Evidence' is an electro classic; uncompromising, beautiful and complete; 'That Sudden Switch' and 'Talk (Beneath Your Dreams)' are darker and Berlin-esque and another grandiose Gazelle Twin collaboration 'A Falling Star' is breathtaking.' ARTROCKER

'The new John Foxx And The Maths album is quite something. A beauty.' ELECTRONIC SOUND

'The mood is dark and unsettling as Foxx combines the icy beauty of 'My Town' with the eerie 'Changelings', featuring the haunting voice of Gazelle Twin.' 4/5 CLASSIC POP

'A pulsing electro cover of Pink Floyd's 'Have A Cigar' might be an unexpected (though warming) surprise, but the closing quartet of 'Shadow Memory', 'Walk', 'Myriads' and 'Only Lovers Left Alive' sees Foxx and Benge simmering in exquisite fashion.' 4/5 RECORD COLLECTOR

'The third album from the cutting edge electro innovator's adaptable outfit is another classy blend of off-kilter ambient atmospheres, dubbed dreams and general analogue silkiness. Pink Floyd's 'Have A Cigar' gets re-rolled but Foxx's own compositions exert a compelling fascination.' 4/5 DAILY MIRROR

'Rather than treat their analogue synthesizers as museum pieces, John Foxx and his electronic producer partner Benge have cranked their machines into life for a succession of albums of futuristic electronic pop. This Dark Lord Of Synth still wields fearsome power.' Q MAGAZINE
