 John Foxx - Metamatic/The Garden
By the time of Foxx's departure from the group, they had developed a clear identity of their own, taking their influences and building on them to produce the aloof, dislocated brand of synth-rock on which much of the synth-pop boom of the early eighties would be built.
After Foxx's departure Ultravox went on to far greater things with Midge Ure but, while Foxx's solo work never achieved the commercial heights reached by his old group, they were just as influential in their own way.
Foxx's lyrics have not yet fallen into the surreal detachment characteristic of his early solo work, but the strongly electronic instrumentation is closer to Metamatic than anything Ultravox ever did.

John Foxx had been living in Italy for a while before recording 'The Garden'.
There are still the classic Foxx characteristic references to "shimmering and glimmering" huge landscapes and metaphysical imagery but it's a different beast to earlier output in that it is much more accessible and relaxed.
Having stuck the stake in the ground from which the likes of Gary Numan had to aspire to, Foxx's second solo album is more thoughtful, rich in texture with a tendancy towards the sound of proper Ultravox!.

The seldom seen sight of a pantomime frock, bright red hair and a nose ring was that which that greeted the gatherers with bouncy synth fuelled, body swerving tunes was a nice surprise to the evening.
The suavely dressed and charismatic ex Ultravox front man John Foxx stormed onto stage as though he was in a hurry, being a prolific album maker who bought out 5 albums in 1997/98 alone it was evident he had a lot to get through.
It wasn’t until the self titled track that Foxx really lost himself in the music, as he swayed randomly and forcefully like a glass of Port in a sizzled member gentry’s hand at a function.

 Somnambule ~ Review of John Foxx ~ Cathedral Oceans III   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
Cathedral Oceans is the first time I’ve heard this latest stage of Foxx’s career, apart from witnessing a guest appearance at his friend, Harold Budd’s farewell concert in Brighton last year.
Cathedral Oceans III can trace its lineage back to a track on Foxx’s second solo album, The Garden: Pater Noster was a setting of a Latin mass to a disco beat and was far more successful than such a description might suggest.
John Foxx has in the past steered clear of reference to any specific religious belief, preferring instead to talk of the wonder of the artistic impulse in the experience of church architecture, but the depth of there references here makes me wonder whether he has discovered some form of faith now.

 John Foxx - Tiny Colour Movies : album review
This solo album from Ultravox keyboard player John Foxx continues his occupation with music made by machines, but rather than continue the blustering electronica of an album such as the recent Louis Gordon collaboration Crash And Burn he opts to revisit the ambient territory of Cathedral Oceans series, with wonderfully soothing results.
With Foxx previously collaborating with and admiring Harold Budd, this is not a huge surprise.

In total there are seventy-seven minutes of music including vocal-led John Foxx songs such as "Shadow Dancing", "Your Kisses Burn" and "She Was", as well as very different versions of "Cities of Light" and "Invisible Women".
Foxx has drifted out of music as a reaction to the middle of the road, Fairlight-tooled dross that had taken over the UK music scene in the second half of the eighties which he felt left him 'no place to go'.
Although there's the odd hiss and crackle, both Foxx and Simenon believe it's part of the album's raw charm: 'The music itself is primitive and promising', says Foxx of this snapshot of a work in progress.
