Reviews for The Arcades Project:
‘Delicate evocation of the ambience of a city’s galleried passages.’
Mojo 4 ****
'This exquisite and refined solo piano work is a fine addition to a body of work made by an artist always investigating memory and imagination.’
The Quietus Album of the Month for April 2023
'His most evocative music.’
Uncut Magazine 8/10
‘Delicate, drifting and hypnotic.’
Record Collector 4 ****
‘Unmissable’.
Electronic Sound Magazine
'Its minimalism is moving; its restraint rich in reverie. Foxx's 21st-century body of work grows ever more absorbing.’
Prog magazine
‘An album that has the potential to be a classic of modern times and a reference point for classical ambient for years to come.’
Louder Than War
‘Awed wonder . . . and frequently beautiful.’
Classic Pop
'Foxx has created 12 stunning pieces of music . . . sparse, minimalistic, and extremely moving . . . It goes a long way in demonstrating just how much of a genius he is.'
Spill Magazine
Following his blissfully abstract, piano-based collaborations with Harold Budd and Ruben Garcia over the last 20 years, The Arcades Project is John Foxx’s first solo piano album.
This latest work has a fresh sense of wonder, as if returning to the instrument after the raging analogue noise of his last major work, 2020’s Howl (by John Foxx And The Maths) necessitated a further retreat into quiet, minimal music . . .
