All this stuff is great. It's funny as Foxx's camp claims different.
I gather Foxx didn't like Ultravox much with Midge but I really loved
that era of theirs. Midge's daughter has a band now, been meaning to
google them.

I think Numan has identified Foxx as an influence, ironically.
Foxx was leading Ultravox before Gary appeared on the scene.
I'll try to dig up the source, but I believe Numan had the lead on
synth work and actually tutored Foxx in that light.
Ultravox wasn't nearly as synth-laden in the early days (it becomes
more predominant in Systems of Romance), and ironically, both
Ultravox and Foxx become much more synthesized AFTER Foxx left
Ultravox and Ure took his place. Billy Currie seemed much more in
the spotlight after Use stepped in.
