Scala!!!
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 its 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, available on limited edition `banned blood red' vinyl and CD via Mute. credits
