Former Bad Seed Barry Adamson has had a lengthy career creating atmospheric lounge music for films both real and imagined. This release provides a retrospective of his output from 1989 - '99, as well as a few then-new tracks. The album is long on dark seduction and wry humor, often (as on the tongue-in-cheek Barry White pastiche, "Jazz Devil") simultaneously.
Compilation;W/3 New SongsAlternative Press (9/99, p.90) - 4 out of 5 - "...collects many of [Adamson's] faux-film-music experiments and presents them in a unified context....THE MURKY WORLD is actually a clear-eyed look at a fascinating modern composer..."
Mixmag (5/99, p.149) - 4 out of 5 - "...dark and witty music from sound-tracks, soul and easy listening exotica....Chill-out music at its most chilling..."
CMJ (5/31/99, p.29) - "...With organ-and-horn-fueled smokers and moody, vibraphone-and-string-laced ruminations, the album evokes shadowy figures, paranoia, intrigue and murder as well as any celluloid creation."
Melody Maker (5/1/99, p.36) - 3 stars (out of 5) - "...a collection of the man's finest solo moments....Few people can take a couple of notes and use them to conjure up images quite as strongly as he can..."

Murky World Of Barry Adamson album
 $11.99    
The Cinderella-esque climb from lo-fi indie cult artist to Grammy nominee/major label darling must have been a perilous one for Smith, who makes the leap to the big time here after three well-regarded albums on small labels. He's lost none of his bite, though. The production values on XO may be slightly higher, but Smith's vision remains undiluted.
The production, centered around acoustic guitar augmented by keyboards and lush vocal harmonies, recalls pop icons like the Beach Boys (especially ...

An offshoot of the British post-punk band the Human League, Heaven 17 were influenced in equal parts by disco, David Bowie, and a keen awareness of the political and social winds of change blowing in early 1980s Britain. Though their debut album is packed with early gems of electronica, tracks like "We Don't Need This Fascist Groove Thing," "Play to Win," and "Let's All Make a Bomb" also reflect the social turmoil, as well as the threat of nuclear annihilation, that formed the roiling background to their music's shiny hedonism. This remastered reissue also contains two bonus tracks.
When synthesists Ian Craig Marsh and Martyn Ware left the Human League in 1980, the decision seemed iffy; after all, the League appeared on the way up and would achieve global fame the very next year with Dare!. The first album from Heaven 17, Marsh and Ware's new trio with singer Glenn Gregory, wasn't greeted with quite the same commercial kudos when released in 1981, but it turned out to be an important outing nevertheless. Picking up where Kraftwerk had left off with The Man Machine, the group created glistening electro-pop that didn't skimp on danceable grooves or memorable melodies. What set Heaven 17 apart was the well-deep vocals of Gregory, who managed the difficult trick of sounding dramatic without seeming pretentious, ...
