Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

(John Foxx – Assembly. This was actually one I forgot to mention from last week. I love his contribution to the new Belbury Circle album, but have never really got a handle on his solo stuff. This is a compilation drawn from his first four albums after leaving Ultravox, which see him go from icy/campy I-want-to-be-a-robot-isms to deciding that Van Morrison is a Very Good Thing (the words ‘Celtic soul’ send a chill through my soul). ‘Underpass’ still sounds great, but maybe you had to be there for the other stuff.)
