Who is Arthur Kadmon?
Arthur Kadmon was a guitarist who worked with different New Wave bands from Manchester, England, as Manicured Noise, Ludus, The Distractions and The Fall.
In 1978, after being in post-punk band Manicured Noise, he formed another post-punk band, Ludus, alongside art designer Linder Sterling. He was the original genius behind the band, playing with them from 1978 to early 1979. He departed shortly after that period, following a tour supporting Buzzcocks. During his time with the band only two unreleased studio demos were made, while the rest of the group's repertoire were recorded and released with Kadmon's replacement, Ian Devine.
By the time he left Ludus, he recorded with Mike Ellis of hard rock band Aragorn.
By 1980, Kadmon resurfaced joining The Distractions, although by the time, the group were demising until their disbandment in 1981.
After The Distractions split, Kadmon played with The Fall, although only in the "Hard Life In Country" song for the Room To Live album. The group's frontman Mark E. Smith admired Kadmon, calling him to collaborate, but he disappointed shotly after, although until now he continues to considering Kadmon as a genius and "one of the great people in Manchester who never got anywhere". Kadmon only stayed two minutes with the band, in a studio session. In the album he is credited as Arthur Cadman.
