{"product_id":"a-man-of-two-worlds","title":"A Man of Two Worlds","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn recent years, Midge Ure has spent his time playing live and has not had time to fully immerse himself in the studios creating music. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo that end A Man of Two Worlds is his first album of new material in 12 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell worth the wait, the album is a formidable collection of outstanding music, divided into two clear parts. The first half, World One: Music, consists of eight instrumental pieces, while the second half, World Two: Songs, features eight vocal songs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis concept was partly inspired by the time Midge spent during lockdown listening to instrumental music whilst presenting THE SPACE on Scala Radio. Hearing music that rarely finds a home on mainstream radio, he set about making something without lyrics, where the melodies had to speak for themselves. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eight vocal songs which form the second part of the album, came to Midge as the world reopened. A more divided world, in many ways a much harder and less empathetic one. Sharing an atmosphere with the preceding instrumentals, these songs are incredibly sparse and meditative, and whilst they are subtle, with some songs dealing with the frailty of the human condition, underlying many songs reflect Midge's concerns for the discord infecting world today. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Different View  \u003cbr\u003eThe Space In-Between  \u003cbr\u003eHearing The Invisible  \u003cbr\u003eJust Below The Surface  \u003cbr\u003eThe Dimming Light  \u003cbr\u003eThe Other Side  \u003cbr\u003eBlues And Greys  \u003cbr\u003eThe Pictures You Carry With You  \u003cbr\u003eJust Words  \u003cbr\u003eWorld Away  \u003cbr\u003eShouting To The Moon  \u003cbr\u003eCaught In The Middle  \u003cbr\u003eOrdinary Man (Previous Moments)  \u003cbr\u003eSomewhere Out There  \u003cbr\u003eThe Man Who Stole Your Soul  \u003cbr\u003eFan The Flame  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PROPER","offers":[{"title":"2LP","offer_id":51585682014525,"sku":"FESTLP2","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2CD Media-book","offer_id":51585682047293,"sku":"FESTCD2","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0096\/1884\/9839\/files\/8126a802-4ddc-942d-bbc7-99d6d8678a13.jpg?v=1776162757","url":"https:\/\/sisterray.co.uk\/products\/a-man-of-two-worlds","provider":"Sister Ray","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
