Crash and Burn (John Foxx album)


Crash and Burn is the third studio album by John Foxx and Louis Gordon, released in 2003. The duo did a series of live performances to promote the album, as well as supporting The Human League on their "Very Best Of" tour the same year.
The album was re-released on 29 November 2010 as a double-disc edition with the original tracks remastered and a bonus disc featuring five previously unreleased tracks, namely "Labyrinth Generator", "Storm Warning", "Broadway Submarine", "Dust And Light " and "Invisible Women V2 ", as well as material from 2003's limited edition "Drive EP".
The accompanying booklet was expanded to twenty pages, and includes all of the lyrics.
A similar double disc edition of Foxx and Gordon's album Sideways was also released on the same date.
The cover image is taken from a close-up used in the RKO film "The Spiral Staircase".
