Metamatic is the debut solo album by John Foxx, released in 1980. It was his first solo project following his split with Ultravox the previous year. A departure from the mix of synthesizers and conventional rock instrumentation on that band's work, Metamatic was purely electronic in sound. The name 'Metamatic' comes from a painting machine by kinetic artist Jean Tinguely, first exhibited at the Paris Biennial in 1959. The album peaked at #18 on the UK Albums Chart.

  • Metamatic ist das Debütalbum des britischen Musikers John Foxx nach der Trennung von Ultravox. Es erschien im Januar 1980 bei Virgin Records. Kommerziell war es eher mäßig erfolgreich. Der Sound des lyrisch von James Graham Ballard beeinflussten Albums inspirierte zahlreiche Musiker. Metamatic gilt als eins der ersten elektronischen Alben eines britischen Künstlers und als Frühwerk des Minimal Electro. Der minimalistische Sound beeinflusste den Electro Funk und den frühen Hip-Hop in New York, die Entwicklung von Techno in Detroit und ist ein stilistischer Vorläufer für Musik unter der Sammelbezeichnung Electronica.

En este álbum, así como en los sencillos de la época, Foxx definiría su estilo musical electrónico basado en los sintetizadores, tratado tiempo antes, mientras integraba Ultravox. El nombre del álbum viene de una máquina de pintura creada por Jean Tinguely, que fue exhibida en París en 1959. (es)
