Barry Adamson is a British-born musician who has worked with rock bands such as Magazine, Visage, The Birthday Party, Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds and Pan Sonic. Adamson has also remixed Grinderman, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and Depeche Mode. He has also worked on the soundtrack for David Lynch's Lost Highway, and released numerous solo recordings. In the late 1970s Adamson joined ex-Buzzcocks singer Howard Devoto's band Magazine, playing bass guitar, scoring one chart single Shot By Both Sides. In 1977 he 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. After his stint in the band, he went solo, releasing an EP, The Man With The Golden Arm in 1988, and his first solo album, Moss Side Story, the following year, the soundtrack to a non-existent film noir. In 2002 Adamson left Mute Records and started his own label Central Control International. ___SOURCE___ TAGS visage album <!-- google_ad_client = "ca-pub-4506426359448292"; /* mute_inpost_02 */ google_ad_slot = "6213518913"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 15; //-->
