Moss Side Story
Barry Adamson

Moss Side Story is the soundtrack to an imaginary, yet unwatchable crime thriller even Quentin Tarantino wouldn't enjoy. Oedipus Schmoedipus, Barry Adamson's 1996 album set out to create a soundtrack to a nonexistent film. That album was successful because he was able to visualize a terrifying, yet entertaining and suspenseful movie. I'm talking films like David Lynch's Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive or even Lost Highway. Moss Side Story, released a few years prior to Oedipus Schmoedipus, is another soundtrack to an imaginary movie. But this movie is more of a confusing ramble and a directionless gallop similar to David Lynch's 1984 film, Dune.
