Barbara Dickson - Through Line - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2020 from the Scottish singer. As a multi-million selling recording artist with an equally impressive Olivier Award winning acting career, Barbara Dickson OBE has firmly established herself as one of the most enduring and popular artistes in Britain today.

On the heels of their monolithic collaborative LP Mental Wounds Not Healing, the collaboration between industrial-noise post-everything bands Uniform & the Body returns with a second entry, Everything That Dies Someday Comes Back. Comprised of an amalgam of abrasive influence that spans Swans-y dirge and purge, Whitehouse's clenched-jaw noise, middle-period Ministry's penchant for metallic post-industrial everything, New Order's nose for melodic emotionality, and Juicy J-inspired beats, Uniform & the Body's approach delves deeper down the rabbit hole than before, igniting a sonic world of terror and bliss poised to grip the throats of fans yet again. Prepare for a record that the band self-describes as Inchthe middle ground between Robyn and Corrupted, but weirder.Inch The collaboration between the two bands was built upon mutual admiration for each other's work, which led to bonds of friendship. After the of the debut collaborative effort, Uniform released the critically praised The Long Walk and embarked on a smash tour with Deafheaven and Drab Majesty, while The Body released the widely acclaimed I Have Fought Against It, But I Can't Any Longer and took to the road for their own successful and extensive North American tour. The demand for the collaboration eventually necessitated a U.S. jaunt, pairing the collective for rare dates with Author & Punisher and Street Sects on both coasts.

In 1997 Barbara joined forces with Chris Bond who had directed her in the original Liverpool production of Willy Russell's musical, 'Blood Brothers,' to create a new stage production, 'The 7 Ages of Woman'. Described as InchA Journey from the Cradle to the GraveInch from a female perspective, the show was essentially a one woman show for Barbara featuring a collection of songs covering seven themes from adolescence through to old age - Childhood, First Love, Work, Marriage, 'Love For Sale', Motherhood and 'I'm Still Here'. The show went on to tour the UK twice and earned Barbara the 'Best Actress' award at the 1997 Liverpool Echo Awards. The soundtrack CD of the production had a very limited and as such went on to become a much sough-after collector's item. Now, almost twenty years later, the album is re-released for the first time, digitally remastered and featuring extensive liner notes on the original theatre production.
