John Foxx
Real Name:
Dennis Leigh
Profile:
John Foxx is one of the synths masters. He was the former singer of Ultravox. He left the band in 1979, to go on a solo career. His first LP "Metamatic" has laid the foundations of his proper sound, made of cold synths, with a use of flanger effects and sometimes experiments. Foxx has always remained a pop song writer subordinating his sounds researches to the structures of his minimal pop songs.
He's also a photographer and graphic artist.

Reviews & Discussion
John Foxx was a pioneer. First UK artist to record a complete album using synths alone. Sited by many pioneering dance acts as inspiration along with the likes of Kraftwerk. Also one of the best teachers I ever had. And still going strong today! Respect.
John Foxx was the original singer/songwriter in the early '80's art rock band Ultravox.He was replaced by Midge Ure,and embarked on a solo career.The earliest recordings are all electronic,cold and robotic and drony in a catchy way.The later recordings began to incorporate more organic instrumentation.
