ALBUM FACTS :
DESCRIPTION :
In recent years, Midge Ure has spent his time playing live and not has time to fully immerse himself in the studios creating music. To that end A Man of Two Worlds is his first album of new material in 12 years.
Well 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. This 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. The 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. Midge will be touring A Man of Two Worlds on a 21 date UK tour in May/June, Australia/New Zealand in October, with Festivals and US dates being booked during the summer and Germany in Feb/March 2027 with more dates being added. Format: A 2LP black vinyl in two 3mm spined sleeves, printed inners housed in a card slipcase.
