Free Music Notes for The Space Between Us
Free Music Review: The New Direction for Classical Music for a New Generation..
Hit: 5 Stars
Unlike many people, I did not even know that Craig Armstrong was a collaborater on Massive Attack's Protection album (a group that I adore by the way). I instead heard of Craig Armstrong first on the Cruel Intentions soundtrack with the song "This Love". I had always liked the song "This Love" and I finally decided to go and get this album and see what Craig Armstrong was all about. Instead, I got something much more than I ever expected or dreamed of, an album of "classical" music in a new era and generation. I know some of the symphonic musicians and listeners of old don't see this as classical music but for the generation now growing up in the new millenium, this album marks a path for new classical music. The album opens with "Weather Storm" with light piano strumming and beautiful violins that just build as the song continues. "This Love", still one of my very favorite songs by him, starts out like you are flying (a feeling love can actually make you do!) and the vocals of Liz Fraser make this track a gem and I can honestly say there is NOTHING like this track out anywhere. "Sly" is a much more orchestral song but at the same time, it's twisted too with slow orchestral movement to the singing violins throughout the track as well. "After the Storm" seems to end off the first section of the CD, all tracks sort of heaven like, and it proves to be a good track. "Laura's Theme", my favorite composition by Armstrong, is a song with tons of emotion from the dark violins and the melancholy nature of the track..this track still brings tears to my eyes every single time I hear it because it's that emotive and beautiful (worth the price of the CD alone). "My Father" follows with a little dissonance at the beginning but it's a good track too, highlighting Armstrong's piano playing ability. "Balcony Scene" is a track many people have heard before but never knew where it came from in the recent remake, Romeo + Juliet...an amazingly emotive track as well that is beautifully constructed from beginning to end and another one of my favorite songs. "Rise" is an interesting twist coming off of three very dark tracks but I like the contrast this song provides along with the semi-industrial feel. "Glasglow" reminds me of the movie, The Bone Collector (a soundtrack Armstrong collaborated on as well) and is a very good track, though it's different too. "Let's Go Out Tonight" is a great track that begins with the light strumming of a guitar and it's a good track but not my favorite either. "Childhood" conjures up images of innocence with its symphonic elements and tickling of the ivories on the piano. "Hymn" ends off the album perfectly with piano from start to finish, making this CD end way before you think it should. The Space Between Us reveals many familar songs to the masses but no one ever really knew who did the compositions...this album is a landmark of classical and symphonic music to come and we can only expect it to get better with time.
