I absolutely love the fact that so many of those early electronic musicians are also sci-fi enthusiasts. Like Jean-Michel Jarre loves Arthur Clarke and watched 2001 a space odyssey for like 50 times when it aired in 1968, Kraftwerk went full on that Metropolis aesthetics with their man-machine-isms, Tangerine Dreams making one space-themed album after another, Klaus Schulze on Dune, Gary Numan being so obsessed with Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep that he made 3 albums (as well as an android persona) almost entirely based on Philip Dick's futuristic dystopia, The Human League & John Foxx being fans of JG Ballard, etc.. Finding out about these little "crossovers" and influences really brings me joy since I love both retro electronic music & retro scifi.

Hi My name is Martin and I just found your excellent fanzine collection at Tumblr. What a great resource and thanks for putting it together. Great work. I represent John Foxx via his website, research and archivist. I am always looking for articles etc feat. Ultravox and I am going thru your files for references. Do you have a way to search by band? Can you help with sources? Thanxx foxxmetamatic @ Twitter

I've still got about 800 complete fanzines from the 1970s and 1980s, and so far I have scanned and uploaded a quarter of them in full, although the front covers of all my zines are posted in two Flickr albums.

These days it's very difficult to find time to scan and post more zines, so I'm doing it less and less often. I did have the idea to create an index of bands featured - but again, it would just be too time consuming.

However, I do tag all the images I post on Flickr, and a quick search for "Ultravox" found the following pages....

If you go through the zines I've posted in full page by page you'll probably be able to find some other mentions of John Foxx and Ultravox….
