What their label says...

Barry Adamson will be the artist-in-residence at the Southbank Centre for 2007’s London Jazz Festival, in association with BBC Radio 3, from November 20th. Press acclaim for Stranger on the Sofa: "As good as anything he has done.  The bleak, dysfunctional cityscapes conjured are nightmarish" - Sunday Times Culture 4/5 - "This is it.  After decades of giving us good and even fine work, he's finally treated the faithful to a masterpiece" - All Music Guide 4.5/5 - "Proves once again what an unnerving space the interior of his head must be" - Mojo 4/5 - "All over the place, swinging through dark pop, atmospheric instrumentals, and demented circus music... unique with great personality" - 7.5/10 Pitchforkmedia.com - "Original, unique and packed full of imagery, if this was a film, it would be the best you've ever seen" - The Sun 4/5 - "All the songs are memorable, sometimes gorgeous, and always a strange amalgam of past and present influences– Uncut - "There's a perversely comforting Lynchian chill to the stygian sewer-funk of 'Dissemble' and the dub electronica of 'Free Love'" - Plan B Magazine -
