Product Description
CD Description
Craig Armstrong scored the sweeping string arrangements forMassive Attack's PROTECTION. It is therefore fitting that his debut album should see release through the Bristol band'sMelankolic imprint. Nor should it surprise anyone that THE SPACE BETWEEN US is a veritable waterworks of strings, harps, and longing. To the classically trained Armstrong's credit, the album's resplendent romanticism never becomes soggy oroverbearing. Even as the strings welter and arc in dizzy, heaven-bound spirals, a shadowing of spare downtempo electronics maintains an attractively lugubrious atmosphere.
THE SPACE BETWEEN US is mostly instrumental, though former Cocteau Twin Elizabeth Fraser graces "This Love" with a heart-stopping vocal turn. She blazes brilliantly against Armstrong'sflowering backdrop, as does Paul Buchanan's Brian Ferry-like delivery of "Let's Go Out Tonight". Armstrong's gift for simple and sensitive melodicism surpasses the crass, tear-jerking histrionics in which many of his peers wallow. "Laura'sTheme", "Glasgow", and Armstrong's original setting for ROMEO AND JULIET's oft-scored balcony scene prove him the equalof icons like Nino Rota and Frances Lai and suggest that cinema is Armstrong's true calling. Sure enough, Armstrong hitthe silver screen in 1999 with his score for Jake Scott's PLUNKETT & MACLEANE.
