Lincoln Barrett, better known by the stage name High Contrast (born 18 September 1979, Penarth, Cardiff), is a Welsh drum and bass DJ and producer.
Barrett grew up more interested in films and film soundtracks rather than music, and still cites Wendy Carlos's A Clockwork Orange soundtrack album and the Vangelis soundtrack for Blade Runner as defining musical influences. Whilst studying film making in Newport, he heard J Majik's Arabian Nights which turned the then 17-year-old Barrett on to drum and bass music. Barrett used to work in Cardiff's only electronic record shop, Catapult. A short time after he began to make music, he was given a DJ residency at Cardiff's drum and bass night, named Silent Running. During his residency at Silent Running, Barrett played alongside artists such as Grooverider and London Elektricity.
In June 2002, Barrett's debut album, True Colours, was released on Hospital Records, with "Return of Forever" and "Global Love" finding their way into the UK Singles Chart. His second album was High Society.
Time keeps on ticking away
Another day in disease
I'm looking for someone special
Crawling on my hands and my knees
Somebody turn the lights on
I can't breathe the air
Won't someone help me find my
Little Clare
I want you to see me when the lights go down
I wish I could be me when the lights go down
I'm running out of time, I'd do anything at all
I want you to see me when the lights go down
I can't stop thinking of you
Always on my mind
I see you in the shadows
All the time
You never talk to me
And you're never there
I'm getting tired of all this
And you don't even care
Twisting and turning
My body is burning
Their position runs deep down inside
No one will listen
They make the incision
Now something inside me has died
Come take Alice now
Look at Alice now
I wrap my arms around you
Protect you from the night
I'll save you from this madness
Make everything alright
Get back, don't come any closer
I'll crush you with all of my might
White men with a needle, a cocktail
