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 NME review of the albums describes it as a "Grand filmic suite intended as the soundtrack to a "provocative film thriller set in Manchester's Moss Side" and that Moss Side Story is "one of the best soundtracks ever, the fact that it has no accompanying movie is a trifling irrelevance." - Wikipedia

#Foetus’ #Halt #album really impresses me; it defies traditional #alternative #music categorisation. Looking back, it strongly reminds me of #BarryAdamson. #Magazine anyone?! It’s certainly not for everyone, but I think the #songs are great.

🎧 Barry Adamson β€” 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 β€” moody, elegant and deeply immersive.
