Entertainment Reviews:
Rolling Stone - 10/31/96, p.70
3 Stars (out of 5) - "...Barry Adamson creates soundtracks for his own drama-filled dream world, one in which the film composers Elmer Bernstein and John Barry are patron saints, darkened streets are always slick with rain, men are men, and women are molls..."Q - 9/96, p.107
4 Stars (out of 5) - "...shifts wildly between extreme genres. Everything from languid hip hop and avant sample collages through to atmospherically charged Badalamenti-like cocktail jazz is explored here with...claustrophobic obsessiveness..."Alternative Press - 12/96, p.68
4 (out of 5) - "...Embracing nourish jazz, film-score instrumentals and the rhythms of hip hop and rock, OEDIPUS SCHMOEDIPUS is a kaleidoscopic hotbed of neuroses, stained sheets and the fairy-tale double-cross..."Option - 11-12/96, p.90
"...combines lounge jazz, spoken word, sampling and storytelling into something messy, compelling and ultimately undefinable. Equal parts instrumental set piece and some sort of bizarre, vaguely Germanic cabaret..."Melody Maker - 12/21-28/96, pp.66-67
Ranked #33 on Melody Maker's list of 1996's 'Albums Of The Year.'Melody Maker - 7/27/96, p.47
Bloody Essential - "...arguably the best yet, honing Adamson's finely tuned senses of humour, suspense and horror to their keenest edges, fusing slinky jazz, deft hip hop beats, atonal soundscapes and fully blown gospel for one roller coaster ride through this man's psyche..."Musician - 12/96, pp.92-93
"...Ex-Bad Seed Adamson saddles R&B atmospheres and melancholy jazz forays upside ominous orchestrations and enigmatic spoken word....he draws from a well of uneasy listening....Adamson works this magic with rapt instrumental detail and seamless production."NME (Magazine) - 7/27/96, p.50
7 (out of 10) - "...a sort-of-concept album about 'suppressed desire, repulsion and yearning'.....moody, mainly instrumental and never afraid to do the dance of the mad doodle with a glockenspiel..."Product Info
