Richard Barbieri - Things Buried
"Things Buried" is the debut solo album from Richard Barbieri.
Surprisingly this is his first solo work despite a musical career that has spanned four decades.
He joined the group Japan in 1976 and although initially perceived as a hyped act, the band went on to enjoy commercial success and critical acclaim. They were one of the most successful bands of the early eighties and the album "Tin Drum" is still considered today a classic innovative work.
He has been a member of the rock band Porcupine Tree for ten years and recently the group have enjoyed chart success across Europe with their album "In Absentia" .
To mention all the albums, collaborations, tours, and guest appearances over the years requires a detailed discography. Suffice to say that Richard's musical output has been substantial and varied and he has worked on many projects alongside some of the most innovative artists of our time.
"Things Buried" is an instrumental work that highlights Barbieri's unique approach to sound and mood, ranging from textural atmospherics to dynamic rhythmic passages.
The album also features the distinctive styles of Percy Jones ( Brian Eno, Brand X ) on fretless bass guitar and Andy Gangadeen ( The Bays, Massive Attack ) on Drums.
Please note - the Kscope edition of this album comes in a super jewel case (catalogue number KSCOPE132M) - we also have a limited number of the Snapper Music version at a slightly lower price. The content/packaging are the same but the super jewel cases are slightly marked. Please choose carefully.
Also available as mp3 / flac download.
