Like A Miracle 12" version is one my all time favorite 12"s.
Still spin it a lot. Lots of personal souvenirs...
Wonder what Endlessly Sparkle Mix sounds like. Unreleased mix I suppose?

yep not too sure about the sparkle mix , just hoping endlessly is the original 12" mix and not the version on the golden section reissue. it would have really topped it off if they had put your dress 12" on it but I suppose it doesn't fit the theme . Anyway really pleased about the release

Your Dress 12" version = album version ?

I hope I got it all right. Yes there are some question marks.

Tracklist looks great. Ok, disc one is nothing to get too excited about. But regarding the 12" versions included, this is exactly what I was expecting. I had some small hopes that they will add some unreleased extended versions of some early gems like let's say "Burning Car" or "Dancing Like A Gun". And they will add some BBC sessions which is fantastic. Are there any more left in the archives?

@Jonas: Which question marks do you see?

The question marks are minor ones, and I point them out, but we will not know until the durations are known.

Swimmer II [edit? full length?]
Europe after the Rain [single edit? album version?]
Dancing Like a Gun [single edit? album version?]
Endlessly [1982 Version? 1983 Version?]
Endlessly (12" version) [shortened 6.02? full length 7.40?]
Endlessly (Sparkle Mix) [unknown origin]

I see this box-set somewhat as a great continuition of the "Metatronic" one of 3 years back.

Has anyone got this? Seems to be delayed..

Rel date 3 June

John Foxx and The Maths have just released "Analogue Circuit: Live at The Roundhouse", a limited-edition box set that captures his live performance at London's Roundhouse in June 2010. The 17-song set, which includes Ultravox and solo material, is included on DVD and as a 2CD set. The release is limited to 1,000 copies.

I got the 3-CD today, and have updated versions & durations in my discog

Endlessly (Sparkle Mix)is interesting, it's hard to tell when it was recorded, but it definitely sounds 80s to me. 1982 12" Mix? Maybe it's too modern for that. 1983? Not sure. Hmmm. /JW

I guess it should be mentioned that the sound is not brickwalled at all. The one complaint is that the video for Miles Away has been completely redone. It contains only about 2 seconds of the original video. This was a real pisser. I didn't buy Metatronic because he turned the Underpass video black and white. Leave well enough alone!!!

So then, the long/extended version (6'22) of 'oriental Endlessly' remains unreleased [?]
