| | adam bohman’s cassette-only 1980 debut; finally made available to the public via clive graham’s paradigm imprint. a neglected album of uk free-nonsense that ranks bohman up there with fellow travellers/pranksters ghedalia tazartés and steve beresford in terms of weirdo home-recorded free music... classic. |

| adam bohman - bunhill road (pd 19)
lp in standard sleeve, numbered edition of 500
total time 45'21"
cover by adam bohman
released 2006
1980 was an incredibe year for london’s experimental music scene with many different strands. recommended records were rereleasing the first two faust lp’s, l. voag had found ‘the way out’, swell maps were ‘in occupied europe’. throbbing gristle and other industrialists were giving plenty of live actions. nurse with wound had just released their first lp, as had this heat. the other great lp on piano records by steve beresford was also on the shelves. meanwhile, elsewhere in the capitol adam bohman was making his first recordings working with two budget cassette recorders.
bunhill row was the first complete album of material, but whilst the aforementioned artists were pressing up their recordings and making them easily available via rough trade or the recommended records ‘shop’, adam’s releases remained in tiny cassette editions made for friends or exchanged on the mail art network.
so here for the first time is bunhill row, released as it should have appeared at the time - on vinyl.
it must be said that this is quite unlike any of adam’s other releases, and quite unlike his work with morphogenesis, or his work as one half of the bohman brothers. this is ‘songs’ - 30 in all, and the main instrument used is a trumpet (an ordinary trumpet), along with other acoustic instruments and a vast variety of objects and junk, much of which is still part of the bohman armoury.
the overall feel sits somewhere between r. steevie moore and caroliner, but this is british of course. somehow it all works, and all in all, opens another window on to the incredibly fruitful astral alignment that occured over london at this time.
adam also has a solo cd on paradigm discs, and also appears on 'variations - a london compilation' the first cd released on paradigm discs. the only other solo cd by adam is on mycophile. |
