Nation 12 (John Foxx, Shem McAuley, Kurt Rogers, Simon Rogers and Tim Simenon) is a project that started life as a collaboration between electronic pioneer John Foxx and Bomb The Bass's Tim Simenon back in 1989. At the time the 21-year-old Simenon's hip hop beats and music cut-ups were right at the cutting edge of British music, as he'd not only constructed his own Number 2 single, "Beat Dis" but in 1988 the dance innovator also co-produced Neneh Cherry's Top 10 hits "Buffalo Stance" and "Manchild". In addition to his love for hip hop, the Brixton born producer was also a fan of electronic music, especially Depeche Mode, Fad Gadget and John Foxx. Although they'd worked on over a dozen tracks, unfortunately the Nation 12 album was never finished. The project imploded as "Electrofear" failed to match the impact of the project's first single. As the album was never delivered and the Rhythm King label eventually closed, the tapes from those recording sessions were also lost. Three years ago, two cassettes appeared (courtesy of long-time John Foxx fan, Simon Blackmore) which contained most of the material recorded by Nation 12. Out now via Tape Modern Records is Nation 12's "Electrofear" album as a limited Edition of 500 Copies only. The album includes John Foxx's collaboration with Tim Simenon, "Remember", plus Nation 12's second single, "Electrofear". However, most of the material has never been heard before. In total there are seventy-seven minutes of music including vocal-led John Foxx songs such as "Shadow Dancing", "Your Kisses Burn" and "She Was", as well as very different versions of "Cities of Light" and "Invisible Women". All material was restored and mastered at Serendipity. To listen to sound samples from this release click below.Source: Newsletter

Reports are coming in, sketchy at best, but here's what we know:They're busy in the studio, and Jean-Luc De Meyer of Front242 will be a guest singer on an FLA song!! They're also working out booking a European tour possibly as early as next spring. Some cities in Russia and Germany were named, but nothing is conclusive yet.
The Front Line album should be finished in January and be out in March. A North American tour with Covenant might happen in March and April of 2006. (this depends on FLA's and Covenant's next album releasedates). Festivals in Europe would be in August, M'era Luna Festival appearance is pretty safe already.
The new Delerium album is another half year off at least, possibly late summer.
