〕 }} ''Moss Side Story'' is an album by Barry Adamson released in 1989. The album is a concept album. The music is almost completely instrumental except for occasional screams, samples and a choir. The concept is the score to a fictitious film. To achieve the effect the song titles are descriptive of a film noir plot outline. The inner sleeve came with a short story written by Dave Graney which added to the concept. This complemented outer sleeve which displays the tag line: "In a black and white world, murder brings a touch of colour...". The NME review of the albums describes it as a "Grand filmic suite intended as the soundtrack to a "provocative film thriller set in Manchester's Moss Side" and that Moss Side Story is "one of the best soundtracks ever, the fact that it has no accompanying movie is a trifling irrelevance."〔Marconie, S. ''NME'', March 11, 1989 pp33〕 The overall style is reminiscent of the work of Angelo Badalamenti who often collaborates with the film director David Lynch. CD versions came with three bonus tracks. Two of them - "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" and "The Man With The Golden Arm" (composed by Elmer Bernstein) - are drawn from TV or film themes. "Alfred Hitchock Presents" is a reworking of the theme to the series of the same name, Charles Gounod's "Funeral March of a Marionette." Moss Side is a district near the centre of Manchester in Great Britain, where Adamson was born. The album title is a play on words and a reference to Leonard Bernstein's ''West Side Story''. The title of "The Swinging Detective" plays on Dennis Potter's series of television plays ''The Singing Detective'', while "Round Up The Usual Suspects" is a line made famous by Claude Rains in ''Casablanca''. == Track listing == All music composed by Barry Adamson; except "Everything Happens to Me" by Barry Adamson and Seamus Beaghen; "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" by Charles François Gounod and "The Man with the Golden Arm" by Elmer Bernstein Act One - "The Ring's The Thing" # "On The Wrong Side of Relaxation" - 5:27 # "Under Wraps" - 4:27 # "Central Control" - 2:10 # "Round Up The Usual Suspects" - 0:43 Act Two - "Real Deep Cool" # # # # Act Three - "The Final Irony" # # # # 'For Your Ears Only' # # # 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Moss Side Story」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
