The Space Between Us is the debut solo album by Craig Armstrong, originally released in 1998 on Melankolic Records. Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins contributes vocals to the track "This Love", and The Blue Nile's Paul Buchanan appears on "Let's Go Out Tonight", which is a rework of the song of the same name by Blue Nile. The first track, "Weather Storm", is a reworking of a song by the same name which appears on Massive Attack's 1994 album, Protection, to which Armstrong contributed.

After working with music for his entire career, Craig Armstrong was drawn to the idea of the changing, ethereal effect of melody and tone for his solo work, As if to Nothing (Melankolic, 2002). Working with acclaimed artists such as Bono, Evan Dando from The Lemonheads, Glasgow rock band Mogwai and David McAlmont, Armstrong employed a range of vocals to create an album that is unique and memorable. Fragments and themes from the opening track, Ruthless Gravity, appear and reappear throughout the album, lending a filmic atmosphere to the recording.

download Craig Armstrong lyrics and sheet music Nothing Man by: peter naldrett - uk correspondent. It's already a landmark year for renowned Scottish composer Craig Armstrong. His highly praised work on the tremendous film Moulin Rouge has seen him handed a Golden Globe award and named the composer of the year by the American Film Institute. But, hey, it's only spring and there is plenty of the year left for Armstrong to become even more well-known and build far firmer foundations for the rest of his career. But be under no impression that this is a dance album, because there are also Indian influences on "Miracle" and "Amber," while ethereal sounds emanate from "Hymn . This is a diverse release for those who really appreciate people who make music mean something. The main pop-culture interest comes when Bono sings to Armstrong's version of the old U2 song "Stay (Faraway, So Close!).

After several projects done work-for-hire in the film and pop world, Craig Armstrong returns to where he originally started with his own material with the release of his second long-play CD As if to Nothing, collaborating with acts such as Bono, Evan Dando (Lemonheads), Mogwai, Photek, Antye Grei-Fuchs (Laub). Dominated with orchestral soundscapes and well worked-out arrangements, the record has lots of character and very emotional to say the least. One of the greatest song here is the wonderful “Wake up in New York”, sung by Evan Dando, a track which could have also found its place on Massive Attack’s Mezzanine. Bono’s “Stay (Far Away, So Close)”, which is also featured on U2’s Zooropa album and has been included on several movie soundtracks, is very convincing and heart-felt. Only the spoken-word track from Antye Grei-Fuchs is a little to get use to. -c- ToxicTwinz
