Audio artist Barry Adamson started out as bass player for British punk band Magazine, however, he’s since carved more of a name for himself equally for being a founding member of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and also for composing a large chunk of the score of David Lynch’s Lost Highway. Adamson’s solo work varies heavily between Film Noir and classic to industrial rock, whilst taking in everything in between, making him almost impossible to pigeonhole.
Adamson left school and shifted into graphic design attending Stockport Art College[3] but quit shortly after, favouring to venture into the exploding punk rock scene of the late 1970s. He joined ex-Buzzcocks singer Howard Devoto’s band Magazine, playing bass guitar, scoring one chart single, “Shot by Both Sides”; in late 1977, he also joined Buzzcocks, as a short-time replacement of Garth Smith. He played on all of Magazine’s albums, and contributed to Devoto’s solo album and his next band, Luxuria. He also contributed to the studio-based band Visage, playing on the ensemble’s first two albums, Visage and The Anvil.
After Magazine broke up, Adamson worked with another ex-Buzzcock, Pete Shelley, before joining Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. He appeared on four of that band’s albums: From Her to Eternity, The Firstborn Is Dead, Kicking Against the Pricks and Your Funeral, My Trial.

"As Above So Below" is a modern masterpiece. "Still I Rise" gives me shivers down the spine every time I listen to it. Baz: if you're listening: Bring back the electronic/industrial vibe!!!!

theoryjean, go for Oedipus Schmoedipus. It covers most of his styles - warped big band, jazz, sleaze, disturbing and generally makes you go wow! If you put this on in the middle of a late night "session" with someone who hasn't heard it before it ALWAYS gets a reaction.

His bass-playing in Magazine was unbelievable. Then to see him develop such an individual style in his solo career was just too perfect to be true. His music is witty, touching and heartbreaking all at once. The man is a legend!

Brave, expressive and anti-formula music, almost avante garde. Cinematic and thought provoking, often surprising. Clearly influenced heavily by David Bowie, although I hear a lot David Sylvian undertones. Creative and unaffected use of music technology, especially synthetic sounds. I love it.
