This cd is a moving jouney.The one minute fifteen pieces for orchestra evoking different places in Scotland are enjoyable and varied being colourfully impressionistic in style, while Immer, Armstrong's first violin concerto is a kind of white on white meditation. The tone in this composition is one of universally accepting unresolvement, of spiritual peace and soaring out. Memory Takes My Hand is a hauntingly executed ensemble piece for chorus, soprano and orchestra that was featured at the reopening of Kelvingrove Art Gallery in Glasgow. Like some of Michael Nyman's music notably the soundtrack from The Piano and Gorecki's symphony of sorrowful songs this is music of real beauty and emotion. Even better was the setting of memory takes my hand exhibition music - an electronic manipulation of the piece that came out as a limited edition in the museum itself. If you can get a copy of that I would recommend it even more - although, this cd is really worth its value.

Much more 'classical' than his earlier work. No memorable 'songs' as such but great hip easy listening for your next dinner party

Only for Craig Completeists 17 July 2008
By TimG - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you're looking for anything even remotely resembling Craig Armstrong's more bombastic works (Plunkett & Macleane, The Incredible Hulk) or contemporary outings (As If To Nothing, Space Between Us), look elsewhere. This entire CD is incredibly low-key and while relaxing, it is also somewhat uninteresting. His "one minute" pieces for orchestra feel disjointed, with cues that fall flat in the short time they are presented to us. Had these pieces not been restricted to 60-70 seconds, they would have likely developed more solidly and been in the end more rewarding. I purchased this album with the expectation of getting music similar to Craig's "Film Works" but instead received something a few rungs below "Piano Works" and far less compelling than either album. Only for Armstrong Aficionados.

CA classical side 3 April 2009
By Davide Marani - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I must confess I found strange to find a CA production in the classical music section...
But IT IS really classical music!
Well, my first studies were in classical music having a oboe diploma, but never got in too deep in classical...
And knowing CA for his great electronic side, YES, mixed up with strings and choirs, didn't expect a really symphonic version fo his creative side...
So, I did not appreciate it as I did it with his other works, but still is a great listening....
