Miles Away (Alternative Version)" Systems of Romance II NwappMX7 | VA, US | 08/09/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "After he had gone cold and robotic on his debut solo album "Metamatic" John Foxx released this album, basically a sequel to Ultravox's 1978 album (and the last with Foxx leading the band) "Systems of Romance." In fact the second track on here is even named "Systems of Romance" and would have fit perfectly on that album. Seeing as how "Systems of Romance" is my favorite Ultravox album (and one of my favorite albums period) I really like this album. This is pop music at its best. The guitars are ringing and spacious. The melodies and epic and memorable. And what is great to hear is that even though this could be considered "Systems of Romance Part Deux" Foxx works in previous sounds and influences as well. Some of the robotic sound of "Metamatic" can be heard in "When I Was a Man and You Were a Woman" while the main melody of "Night Suit" comes right out of Ultravox's self-titled debut.
This two CD edition of "The Garden" offers a good audio experience with good mastering and clarity. There is a thick booklet with lyrics and the photos with text that came with the original LP. The second CD gives the listener a variety of odds and ends. A few instrumentals are included along with B-sides and non-album singles like "Miles Away." Also included are early versions of some of the songs, including some that will show up later on "The Golden Section." I recommend this to anyone who likes John Foxx/early Ultravox or anyone who enjoys new wave or synth-pop in general." |
