Fifth full length album from this former Magazine and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds bassist. Adamson's solo work has followed a soundtrack influenced pattern and led to him scoring the David Lynch film 'The Lost Highway'. 'The King Of Nothing Hill' sees Adamson further explore the noirish sounds of his previous albums.|

マガジン、ヴィサージ、バッド・シーズと渡り歩き、デレク・ジャーマンからデヴィッド・リンチ作品の音楽まで携わる本物のニューウェイヴァーにして、最近ではパン・ソニックとのコラボレートなどでますますその美学を磨くミュートの影番長バリー・アダムソンの新作。音はもちろん80's仕込みのエレクトロニクス。声はやっぱりナルシスティックな魅惑の低音ヴォイス。そしてスキンヘッドにヒゲ。もうなにもいらない。
