 This record explores the ‘Oedipus Complex’, with Barry describing it as "... a sexual psychoanalytical journey examining mother and son relationships in a somewhat humorous, yet dark way.”

 Since lending his talents to Magazine and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Barry Adamson has released a series of solo albums ranging in different musical genres.

 Viewed as the finale of an ‘unconscious trilogy’ following ‘Moss Side Story’ and the Mercury Prize-nominated ‘Soul Murder’, ‘Oedipus Schmoedipus’ showcases its composer’s embrace of various styles, moving between ambient electronics, cool jazz and elements of hip-hop.

 Available on white coloured vinyl. Includes high definition audio download code.
