What the 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 -

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
