Nighthawks down

The ever prolific John Foxx returns with his 'ambient' hat on and a new album's worth of music recorded with old mate Harold Budd and his mate Ruben Garcia.
Nighthawks
is out on June 27th next, although to get it on CD you'll have to cop a remastered version of Foxx 'n' Budd's Transluscence/Drift Music, first issued in August 2003, as well.
The 3 CD set can be pre-ordered for now at Townsend, with instant download of the track 'Now That I've Forgotten You'.

Although we are familiar with the Foxx/Budd output, Ruben Garcia will a newcomer to these ears. Our ignorance is hardly to be forgiven however as, according to Close Tolerance Music, he is "self-taught pianist, engineer, and producer, with six CDs to his credit"..and what's more "Garcia creates simple instrumental music that is poised on the razor's edge between ambient and new age styles. His compositions possess a superior sense of spaciousness and dream-like soundscapes of delight."
Sounds like the right man for the job then.









Here's a picture of Harold Budd, cos we couldn't find one of the right Ruben Garcia and you know what John Foxx looks like.
