Memento Mori (Anthology 1978 - 2018)

Moss Side’s Barry Adamson is a legend and a very nice one. He’s a photographer, filmmaker and writer as well as being a musician and composer and the scorer of a multitude of films. He’s worked with Magazine, Visage, The Birthday Party, Pan Sonic, Grinderman and Depeche Mode. This is a great compilation of just some of the his looooong career. All the ingredients and one of the best chefs going. Atmospheric moods sweep cinematically setting a scene to take you on a journey through cool jazzy nights and cold streets tinged with brassy glinting street lights. An album stuffed with cool cat vocals, crawling drum fills and shuffling dance-beats, swish strings, groovy swirling organs, funky wah wah and plenty of moody jazz.. Groovy swirling organs. Like the the sun played the disco on your face film noir. You’ve been riff-rolled.
