Search - Foxx, Guthrie :: Mirrorball

2009 collaboration between Electronic maverick John Foxx (Ultravox) and former Cocteau Twins member Robin Guthrie. . Layers of echoes and reverberations are explored on Mirrorball, so that Guthrie's unique playing merges with abstract, often improvised vocals - a style which Foxx has explored on his own Cathedral Oceans albums. Robin Guthrie has scored two movies in recent years Greg Araki's Mysterious Skin and the Dany Saadia-directed 3:19. He has recorded instrumental albums Imperial and Continental and also several collaborations with pianist Harold Budd, the most recent being Before The Day Breaks and After The Night Falls in 2007. The former Cocteau Twins guitarist and producer has also toured extensively with his hour-long film Lumi?re, and recently premiered the follow up, Galerie, both films being created as backdrops for his atmospheric, hypnotic guitar-based instrumentals a style that has been a massive influence on everyone from My Bloody Valentine through to Antony And The Johnsons.
