Shifting City is album album by John Foxx and Louis Gordon, released in 1997[1][2][5] (although some sources cite 1995 as the release year).[3] Released simultanously with Foxx's ambient album Cathedral Oceans, Shifting City was Foxx's first album release since In Mysterious Ways (1985).[1]

Stylistically Shifting City marked a return to the electronic sound of Foxx's 1980 solo album Metamatic, although it also shows a an influence of 1960s The Beatles-style psychedelia, a style which Foxx had already experimented with on 1983's The Golden Section.[1]
