On TINY COLOUR MOVIES (47'49"), John Foxx has assembled
15 different electronic pieces that, taken in sum, seem
unconnected - until the album's smaller, intimate moments are
felt. His music is instantly likable and as the listener's mind
relaxes, becomes alive with imagery. Big and heroic, then
measured and slow, Foxx's work is subtly contrasted and
consistently engaging. Referencing the early spacey works of
Jarre and Vangelis, TINY COLOUR MOVIES makes this path
seem new. From saturated synth pads to ethereal tone painting,
this release frames rather than follows the music. Foxx creates
moods through the arrangement of sound - for us to see how
individual outlooks can provide a sense of sharing the world.
Tune in to STAR'S END this weekend for music from former
Ultravox frontman John Foxx and his solo release TINY COLOUR
MOVIES
