A Man Called Adam (sometimes abbreviated to AMCA) are British electronic music artists Sally Rodgers and Steve Jones.

Recording with a ten piece latin/jazz band for DJ, Gilles Peterson’s fledgling Acid Jazz Records label, A Man Called Adam found that it was the remixed B-sides, “APB”, “Techno Powers” and “Amoeba” - electronic versions of the A-side tracks, that became cult records, bridging the divide between the jazz, rare groove and acid house scenes.

By 1990 AMCA had moved to Big Life Records and released “Barefoot In the Head”. Produced by Sally Rodgers and Steve Jones with Paul Daley and sound engineer Mat Clark, the track features choral pads and strings coupled with bouncing rhythm tracks created with Roland 909 and 727 drum machines and lyricist Rodgers cribbed the Pagan poetry translations of Robert Graves and explored her own experiments with ecstacy.

The 1990, Channel 4 documentary, A Short film about Chillin’ featured the band along with The Farm, DJs Andrew Weatherall, Danny Rampling, Terry Farley and Rocky and Diesel, and charted their journey to Ibiza with club promoter Charlie Chester, and a couple of humdred British ravers on the first organized clubbing holiday of its kind. The vocal sample, of American actor Rod McKuen intoning ‘I put a seashell to my ear’ to the sound of waves lapping the shore, meant the track would ever be associated with sun-drenched beaches and the term ‘Balearic House’ came into use.

the sound of memory

16 Ott 2011 | da www.amancalledadam.com

This is the dissertation for my MSc in Sound Design at Edinburgh University 2009/10. The idea came while moving the contents of our recording studio. I was fascinated by the range of old hardware and data storage systems we’d accumulated over the …
