Electro-Pop Heroes
Edinburgh Fringe/Buxton Fringe 2005
Project Adorno
present a compelling cross-section of their Greatest Hits. It's all
here: Synth-based chanson, hi-NRG homages to Germaine Greer, &
neo-Cockney singalongs on the theme of Cubist painting. Whilst
tipping their hats to the electro-pop heroes of the 1980s, Project
Adorno have one eye firmly set on the future. Especially if the
future involves Doctor Who or libraries. Two
men, an acoustic guitar, and an electronic wall of sound.
