Foxx: "Recorded 1979-1980 at Pathway studios with Gareth Jones. Pathway was an eight-track cupboard in Islington, North London, owned by two characters who wrote ‘Fire' for Arthur Brown. Very basic, very scruffy, very good.
Gareth was a hippy Freudian BBC drop-out, and these were his first real recording sessions. He soon became an innovator. I was in retreat from bands, touring, etc. mightily convinced that electronics were the future, and reading too much J.G. Ballard.
I lived alone in Finsbury Park, spent my spare time walking the disused train lines, cycled to the studio every day and wobbled back at dawn, imagining I was the Marcel Duchamp of electropop. Metamatic was the result. It was the first British electronic pop album. It was minimal, primitive technopunk. Carcrash music tailored by Burtons.”
