Barry Adamson "Oedipus Schmoedipus" (1996)
I really enjoyed Barry's "Moss Side Story" (see day 654) and its mix of
soundtrack composer vibes (Bernard Hermann, Angelo Badalamenti et al)
and sonic experimentation.
Barry continues with that sound here, but with a bit more vocal input this
time around. From the opening choir at the start of the Jarvis
Cocker-featured "Set the controls for the heart of the Pelvis",
the sultry "Achieved in the Valley of the Dolls", the spoken word of
"Vermillion Kisses" and Barry's former Bad Seeds bandmate Nick Cave
featured on "the Sweetest Embrace"
Possibly less cohesive than "Moss Side Story" but still an enjoyable collection of sounds.
