Murky, claustrophobic, tense, melancholic, bittersweet at places, this is the first of a series of imaginary soundtracks that Barry Adamson began to craft so well in the late 80s. A cinematic masterpiece, highly recommended to those who are looking for dark, sophisticated soundscapes. -
Edited 5 years agoThis album is one of my favourite of all times! I was introduced Barry Adamson by a friend of mine in the mid 90s. His "Oedipous, Schmoedipous" album was realised then & I kept listening... it was a month later that Barry bacame essential to me... I followed him after, have always been intrigued by his cinematic mood, the sense of "blackness" & his sophisticated lyrics! It wasn't until the mid 2000's that I got this release, a stock copy from a warehouse... I was quite shocked in the beginning at how murky, desperate & full of anxiety it sounded, it still sounds that way and even more!!! So, take a listen if you like dark, avant-gardish, soundtrack-sounding albums! Very well done Barry, thanks a million!!!
