"Oedipus Schmoedipus" is a captivating album by Barry Adamson, released in CD format under the renowned Mute label. This record showcases Adamson's signature blend of cinematic soundscapes, jazz-infused rhythms, and noir-inspired storytelling. The album takes listeners on an evocative journey through lush arrangements and moody atmospheres, reflecting Adamson?s background as a composer for film and his innovative approach to music production. Notable tracks like "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Pelvis" highlight his ability to merge genres seamlessly. Barry Adamson first gained fame as a founding member of Magazine and later contributed significantly to Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds before embarking on a successful solo career marked by critically acclaimed albums such as "Moss Side Story." Mute Records, established in 1978 by Daniel Miller, has been instrumental in shaping electronic and alternative music scenes worldwide with its roster including Depeche Mode, Erasure, Goldfrapp, and many more.
An interesting Barry Adamson album. For me, it is difficult to perceive and I lack the descriptive part of the narrative content. But the music is very interesting for careful listening. Tracks of different genres, although almost all of them are at least a little jazz. Some of them are instrumental, some are vocal, some contain incomprehensible narratives and fragments of oral speech. All this envelops the night mood. Barry Adamson is the master.
The disc itself reads well, the recording is excellent. The set includes a multi-page booklet with a photo (sometimes in color) description and lyrics (sometimes very ambiguous).
