Re: Review Of Barry Adamson Autobiog with Stranglers references.
Many thanks 8088. Very interesting. Methinks I will be getting this book. I even realise that I have seen him live as a Bad Seed. They are sure great band live. Cheers.

Saw magazine 3 times when they re-formed in 2009 and again in 2011.
Right up there with the best gigs I've been too.

I listened to Secondhand Daylight last night. Easily my favourite Magazine album, and part of the reason for that is Barry Adamson's bass playing and bass sound throughout that entire record. Love Colin Thurston's production on it as well - the drum sound in places reminds me of Bowie's Low, which makes sense given that he was the engineer on the "Heroes" album, which was not only the follow-up to Low but used some of the same techniques.

It's hard to believe that he could hardly play a note (allegedly) when he auditioned for Magazine.StanInBlack wrote: ↑16 Nov 2021, 23:39 I listened to Secondhand Daylight last night.

Re: Review Of Barry Adamson Autobiog with Stranglers references.
Yeah, I find that hard to believe as well. His bass playing is so nuanced, particularly in comparison to other bass players of the time like Simple Minds' Derek Forbes or Paul Gardiner from Tubeway Army/the early Gary Numan band. Adamson's bass playing on things like "The Thin Air" remind me of those moments on classic Pink Floyd records where David Gilmour would moonlight on bass.8088 wrote: ↑16 Nov 2021, 23:56It's hard to believe that he could hardly play a note (allegedly) when he auditioned for Magazine.StanInBlack wrote: ↑16 Nov 2021, 23:39 I listened to Secondhand Daylight last night.
