Barry Adamson - Scala!!! (Original Music By Barry Adamson) [Blood Red Vinyl] NEW

Limited banned blood red colored vinyl LP pressing. SCALA!!! (Original Music by Barry Adamson) by Barry Adamson Barry Adamson, original member of Magazine and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and a celebrated solo artist and composer, returns with the soundtrack to SCALA!!!, the acclaimed documentary chronicling the history of London's most infamous independent cinema. Known for his film work, including collaborations with David Lynch, Adamson brings his trademark blend of noir, jazz, funk and atmosphere to a score that's as evocative as the Scala itself. The album captures the cinema's spirit: late nights, sticky floors, sleazy underground screenings, and the intoxicating world of subversive art. Across it's 22 tracks, Adamson conjures moods that shift from brooding and cinematic to playful and chaotic, echoing the wild programming and cultural rebellion the Scala embodied. The film, directed by Jane Giles and Ali Catterall, tells the story of the legendary King's Cross repertory cinema (1978-1993). Featuring interviews with staff, regulars and icons including John Waters, Mark Moore, Mary Harron, Isaac Julien and Ben Wheatley, alongside rare archival footage it celebrates a venue that became a crucible for counterculture, sexploitation, horror, kung-fu, LGBTQ+ cinema, live music, and cult double bills. Barry Adamson's original score plunges us into the underworld of late-night London - a vivid soundtrack to underground cinema and cultural rebellion.
