Art college and Tiger Lily Born in Chorley, Lancashire, Leigh first began experimenting with tape recorders and synthesizers whilst on a scholarship at the Royal College of Art. In 1973 he formed a band that would eventually be called Tiger Lily. Tiger Lily released a single on 14 March 1974, the A-side of which was a cover of the Fats Waller track "Ain't Misbehavin'". It was commissioned for use in a soft porn movie of the same name. The B-side of "Ain't Misbehavin'" was "Monkey Jive". The same year, Melody Maker reviewed one of Tiger Lily's shows at the London Marquee and praised the "overall atmosphere", whilst pointing out their rather predictable "apocalyptic groove". , Chorley Library Chorley is a market town in Lancashire, England, south of Preston and at the foot of the West Pennine Moors and home to the Chorley cake. ...

Ultravox! Tiger Lily played frequently around London between 1974 and 1976, however their Bowie-esque glam rock sound was rendered superfluous by the advent of punk. In an interview with the BBC, Foxx acknowledged that he had an opportunity to join an early version of what became The Clash, as the vocalist, while they were still the pre-Joe Strummer band called London SS.

Among the elements that set the band apart from their contemporaries were Foxx's lyrics and vocal delivery, and Billy Currie's violin and synthesizer playing. The other members were Chris Cross on bass, Warren Cann on drums and Stevie Shears on guitar. Brian Eno helped get the band signed to Island Records, where they released three LPs during 1977-1978. The first Ultravox! single, "Dangerous Rhythm", backed with "My Sex", was released 19 January 1977. Their first album (the self-titled Ultravox!) was released shortly afterwards, produced by Steve Lillywhite and the band, with assistance from Eno. The album attracted a lot of attention, but did not sell well. It was quickly followed by their second album Ha!-Ha!-Ha!, which featured a more jagged punk sound, and included the single "ROckwrock".

Systems of Romance For their third album, Systems of Romance, Ultravox adopted a smoother sound, and abandoned the exclamation mark in their name. Also missing was their first guitarist, the punk-oriented Stevie Shears, who was replaced by Robin Simon, from a band called Neo (not to be confused with krautrock band Neu!). The album was co-produced by Conny Plank, an early associate of German electronic band Kraftwerk. The punk sound of the previous records was abandoned in favour of a sleek, electronic production that was a precursor of the New Romantic sound. Two singles were released off this album, "Slow Motion" and "Quiet Men". Sales for the album were modest, but it did break the band to a wider audience, also in the United States. Systems of Romance is often regarded as the first synthpop album and as such it was highly influential on bands that followed.

Departure from Ultravox Despite being dropped by their record label at the beginning of 1979, Ultravox undertook a self-financed tour of the United States in February, which was successful in terms of crowd enthusiasm and ticket sales. However, the band came to a parting of the ways during the tour - Robin Simon decided to stay on in New York and Foxx announced his plan to go solo upon returning to England. Without a lead singer, the band went into hiatus, Billy Currie joining Gary Numan's touring band and contributing to his highly successful 1979 album, The Pleasure Principle. The burgeoning popularity of synthesizer music at this time, and Numan's oft-quoted praise for the Foxx-fronted lineup and song-output of Ultravox, helped revive interest in the band. Billy Currie rejoined the group, whilst John Foxx was replaced as lead vocalist by Midge Ure, of The Rich Kids, Slik and Thin Lizzy. Ultravox then built on some of the ideas explored on Systems of Romance, achieving huge worldwide success with the album Vienna in 1980. The band released a series of popular albums and singles. Midge Ure was active in organizing, and Ultravox performed at, Live Aid in 1985, and at subsequent Live Aid events. This Ultravox lineup lasted another six years, overshadowing Foxx's concurrent solo career. This article needs additional references or sources for verification. ...

Solo Signing to Virgin Records, Foxx achieved minor chart success with his first solo single, "Underpass". Released on his 'Metal Beat' record label, its parent album Metamatic appeared in record shops on January 17, 1980. Foxx played most of the synthesizers and "rhythm machines", as they were listed on the jacket. "Metal Beat" was also the name of one of the songs from the album and was inspired by an odd metallic clunk sound on an early Roland drum machine, the CR-78.

Foxx's next LP was The Garden, released 25 September 1981. This recording was a departure from the stark electronic sound of Metamatic, bearing a greater resemblance to Foxx’s swansong with Ultravox, Systems of Romance. The Garden's starting point was in fact a song called "Systems of Romance", written by Foxx for the earlier album but not released at the time. The Garden, released in late 1981, was John Foxxs a follow-up to Systems Of Romance, the last Ultravox record he appeared on, released in late 1978. ...

In 1983, Foxx provided the soundtrack for Michelangelo Antonioni's film Identification of a Woman (Identificazione di una Donna). In September that year, his third solo LP The Golden Section was released. A development of the sound of The Garden, Foxx described this album as a "roots check" of his earliest influences such as The Beatles, psychedelia, and other pre-punk sources.

Foxx later said that at the time he felt divorced from any contemporary musical influences. However he did produce, co-write and play on Pressure Points, by Anne Clark, the same year.

Cathedral Oceans was a solo John Foxx record, an ambient return to his Catholic youth and his love of the cathedrals of England and Europe. Its roots included traditional evensong, Gregorian Chant, Brian Eno, Harold Budd, and German band Cluster. From his own music Foxx drew on such pieces as "My Sex" from the first self-titled Ultravox! record, "Hiroshima Mon Amour" from Ha!-Ha!-Ha!, "Just For a Moment" from Systems Of Romance, and the title track from The Garden. Cathedral Oceans began as a project during the sessions for "The Garden" and has been a work in progress for 20 years before this release, described by Foxx himself as one of the proudest moments of his career.

Two years later they toured again, to promote the higher profile albumCrash and Burn, released September 2003, on his own Metamatic Records. This continued the Ballardian themes of urban landscape and automobiles present in Metamatic, and was supplemented by the "Drive" EP. 2003 also saw the release of the second volume volume of Cathedral Oceans as well as another ambient record, the double CD Translucence and Drift Music with Harold Budd.

A month later, Foxx appeared on stage at the Brighton Pavilion with Harold Budd and Bill Nelson as part of a concert to celebrate the work of the retiring pianist, which in turn lead to the announcement in October of the same year that John was involved in collaborations with Robin Guthrie, Steve Jansen and Nelson. The following month an album's worth of salvaged Nation 12 material was finally issued under the title Electrofear. Despite its relatively low-key promotion and status as largely a 'work in progress', Electrofear encapsulated many of the original ideas that were more fully realised on Shifting City and, in its turn, From Trash.
