🎧 Barry Adamson — Oedipus Schmoedipus (1996)

Dark trip hop noir with cinematic tension, jazz undertones and a distinct 90s atmosphere.
This album feels like a lost soundtrack to an imaginary film — moody, elegant and deeply immersive.

Moss Side Story is the debut solo album of British musician Barry Adamson released in 1989. The album is a concept album, a soundtrack album to a non-existent crime film.

The music is almost completely instrumental except for occasional screams, vocal samples and a choir. To achieve the soundtrack effect, the song titles are descriptive of a film noir plot outline..The outer sleeve displayed the tag line: "In a black and white world, murder brings a touch of colour..."

Moss Side is a neighbourhood in the city of Manchester, Great Britain, where Adamson was born. The album title is a play on words in reference to Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story. The title of "The Swinging Detective" plays on Dennis Potter's series of television plays The Singing Detective, while "Round Up the Usual Suspects" quotes a line made famous by Claude Rains in Casablanca. - Wikipedia

Now playing this beautiful album/track from Barry Adamson and Pan Sonic, co-mixed/-produced by Jóhann Jóhannsson, with a remix by the Hafler Trio on side B. Originally put out by the Kitchen Motors label in 2001, they got composer Magnús Blöndal Jóhannsson to agree to have a brain scan while listening to it; his brainwaves from that scan are printed on the original digipak and on the labels of the vinyl reissue.
