Returning to his movies of the mind, Soul Murder is a sketchbook of often brilliant ideas - crime jazz, sinewy dance, smoky bossa nova - all peppered with strange samples (including one from the TV prison documentary Scared Straight) and spoken-word bits (the Fall’s Marcia Schofield narrates “A Gentle Man of Colour,” the gruesome tale of a young black man falsely accused of raping a white woman). Also included: the recording debut of Miranda Sex Garden (whom Adamson discovered) on “Il Solitario” and a twisted, chugging rendition of “These Boots Are Made for Walking,” featuring petulant vocals by Nick Cave cohort Anita Lane. Revealing a playful side mostly lacking from his previous records, Adamson drenches the grooves with menacing organ, flamenco guitar and spaghetti western sass that perfectly evokes the film’s double dealings. The producers of 1991’s witty American neo-noir Delusion were wise to secure the Mancunian to compose its actual soundtrack. With twangy guitar and thick polyrhythms dominating one side and full-bodied bebop on the other, Adamson teases with stylistic complexity that deserves to be fleshed out in a full-length effort. Limited to EP length, the four fascinating new pieces on Taming of the Shrewd are nowhere near as cohesive or satisfying as the LP.
A stellar cast of performers (including the Fall’s Marcia Schofield, possessed diva Diamanda Galas and assorted Bad Seeds) contribute to this odd and inventive project, which surely has no correlative in most “alternative” record collections. It’s an exquisite assemblage of sampled newscasts, period sound effects and a great, throbbing version of Elmer Bernstein’s “The Man With the Golden Arm” (which was previewed on a four-song 1988 EP).

“Directed and produced by Barry Adamson,” the 54-minute Moss Side Story has a strong aura of ’60s mod London. His voluptuous, ambitious soundtracks to non-existent films noir made him an acknowledged influence on such higher-profile trip-hoppers as Portishead.
Beatniky jazz, surf- rock and industrial sturm und drang are just a few of the manifold genres he enters to produce rich aural tableaux.
Best known for his tenures in Magazine and the Bad Seeds, bassist Adamson proves himself an adept composer and arranger on his own records, which are more orchestral works than conventional solo discs.
