This review is from: Negro Inside Me (Audio CD)

This album is jazz, industrial and hip-hop thrown in a groove blender. If you enjoy Adamson's work, you will not be disapointed by this low price but high quality CD. There are but six tracks, but each one of them is an excellent experiment in dancable, nightmarish music, and many of the tracks are lengthy. Perfect for listening to while doing private eye work, seducing a mystery woman or man, or simply losing control of your mind. If you like Admason, I would also recommend Angelo Badalamenti, Mogwai, Jocelyn Pook, David Bowie, and Don Davis. Also, for more Adamson, look into Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Big Country, Anita Lane and other releases from MUTE RECORDS.

This review is from: Negro Inside Me (Audio CD)

Barry Adamson is one smart fella. He's got a film-score genius' synesthetic talent for visual audio and an acidic but bemused wit. His work ages well - nearly ten years later, The Negro Inside Me still burns.

The first track is a little weak, revolving around a PR flack's message that's only interesting the first time. From there the album gathers speed and strength, peaking with the energetic Cold Black Preach and the Serge Gainsbourg remix/tribute Je T'aime...Moi Non Plus. Adamson's work is so consistently good that it's hard to pick a starting point, so I reckon this EP is as good a place as any.
