WAS's Awesome New Wave Song Of The Week #41: John Foxx - Swimmer II



Frequent readers of Marc’s Top 200 know that there is much love for John Foxx (both with and after Ultravox) here. He landed #128 on Marc’s list with “Europe After The Rain”, a spectacularly melancholy solo song, and his masterpiece with Ultravox “Hiroshima Mon Amour” blazed to a scorching #29!  Speaking of scorching, it has been an unusually hot summer, so this week’s Awesome Song dives right in to a cool refreshing pool of scorching solos with our second featured instrumental - courtesy of the genius of Mr. Foxx - Enjoy “Swimmer II” from his phenomenal release “The Garden”!

Bonus!  Another wonderful instrumental from 1980’s Metamatic!  Enjoy “Glimmer"

  1. Instrumental John Foxx awesomeness! The man was an innovator in the purest sense of the word. Swimmer II with the deep, driving synth lines and the complex, intricate melodies of Glimmer. Great picks!

  2. Love the “FOXX WEEK” graphic ... one week can contain the awesomeness of John Foxx ,,, but only if it is a week on Pluto a.k.a. 45 days !
