[kj] Warm up show at the Fleece?? Now Ultravox

[Darren A. Peace]

Speaking of the God–like genius that is Mr Leigh, see below.

 

Firstly, though, Urine might have prompted wearing stupid clothing, but
there is at least one track on each post-Foxx album that is sublime;
generally the ones where Currie was let off the leash. Rage In Eden is an
almost flawless album, if you remove the singles.

 

Also, “Systems Of Romance” is clearly the best Ultrafoxx album (and,
coincidentally, my favourite album of all time). 

 

But to business (£147.50? WTF! That should at least involve some sort of
hand relief):

 Back To The Phuture (BTTP) and Dennis Music proudly present two nights of
electronic futurism with Gary Numan, John Foxx, Richard H Kirk, Recoil and
Motor

Academy 1, Manchester: Thursday 2nd December

Gary Numan live / Recoil live / Motor live / Richard H Kirk DJ set / Mark
Jones DJ set

 ·       The Troxy, London: Friday 3rd December

Gary Numan live / John Foxx live / Motor live / Very Special Guests TBA /
Richard H Kirk DJ set / Mark Jones DJ set

Wall of Sound founder, DJ, radio presenter and Back To The Phuture creator
Mark Jones has announced the first in a series of set-to-be-amazing live
events, in partnership with Dennis Publishing.

They will take place in Manchester and London with live performances by
electro originators Gary Numan and John Foxx (London only), alongside rising
starts Motor on both dates and Recoil in Manchester.

An obsessive fan of electronic music, Jones’ concept with BTTP was to
join-the-dots between the pioneers of electro pop, club music and
experimental sounds with new blood who’ve taken the blueprint and pushed the
envelope in their own original direction.

On both nights Richard H Kirk (Cabaret Voltaire/Warp) and Mark Jones will be
spinning seminal machine music from the past, present and future with Mark’s
sets paying special attention to new talent like Hurts, Villa Nah, La Roux,
Little Boots, Penguin Prison and Ellie Golding.

“It’s amazing to see Back To The Phuture evolve into a live ‘happening’ and
to be able to present inspiring artists that’ve paved the way for all of us
alongside amazing current talent”, says Jones.
“Their music has never been more relevant to what’s happening - tomorrow is
today.”

Back To The Phuture is Mark’s multi-platform phenomena incorporating the new
BTTP live events, a BBC 6 Music radio show, the curation of Thursday nights
at Bestival and an Ibizian residency.

The original purveyors of electronica such as Gary Numan, John Foxx
(formerly of Ultravox and presently in his acclaimed solo guise), plus
Richard H Kirk’s Cabaret Voltaire made music that on release sounded
entirely alien and futuristic yet soon became the sound of the decade. 

Still sounding fresh today, their influence is ubiquitous. Modern R&B, pop,
house, techno, indie, dubstep and more besides, owe a massive debt to the
experimental electronics with a pop sensibility laid down by these musicians
and their peers. Numan, Foxx and Kirk are all still making exciting music.

Franco-American duo Motor makes uncompromising, sleek yet spiky
EBM-influenced techno and their forthcoming album features none other than
Gary Numan and Martin Gore, further highlighting the cross-generational
exchange of ideas as expressed through BTTP. Recoil, aka Alan Wilder blurs
the boundaries between cold wave, icy soundscapes, sleazy goth and pounding
beats with an expert panache that one would expect from an ex member of
Dépêche Mode. 

Back To The Phuture started out as a radio show on BBC 6 Music in 2009. The
acclaimed program links the synth pioneers with today’s electro-pop artists
in celebration of 30 years of daring electronics. 

The show has enjoyed massive success, uniting the likes of Gary Numan and
Little Boots for a session and orchestrating a performance by Heaven 17 and
La Roux at the BBC’s famous Maida Vale studios. It was a definitive pop
event that drew huge audiences and broke the record for the most watched
music event ever on BBC Digital with 1.3 million hitting the red button.
Jones has delivered entertaining and educational radio shows with guests
including Arthur Baker, Andy Mcluskey and Paul Humphries from OMD, Phil
Oakey of The Human League, Gary Numan, Daniel Miller of Mute Records, Heaven
17’s Martyn Ware, Steve Strange of Visage and August Darnell of Kid Creole
and the Coconuts.

Commercial crap a.k.a. Midge Ure ;)
Foxx was irreplaceable, imo.

I always considered Ultravox comparable to Genesis.

 

With the original singer there was a certain credibility and then came the
commercial crap.
