referencing As If To Nothing, CD, Album, ASW 11907-2
After several projects done work-for-hire in the film and pop world, Craig Armstrong returns to where he originally started with his own material with the release of his second long-play CD As if to Nothing, collaborating with acts such as Bono, Evan Dando (Lemonheads), Mogwai, Photek, Antye Grei-Fuchs (Laub). Dominated with orchestral soundscapes and well worked-out arrangements, the record has lots of character and very emotional to say the least. One of the greatest song here is the wonderful “Wake up in New York”, sung by Evan Dando, a track which could have also found its place on Massive Attack’s Mezzanine. Bono’s “Stay (Far Away, So Close)”, which is also featured on U2’s Zooropa album and has been included on several movie soundtracks, is very convincing and heart-felt. Only the spoken-word track from Antye Grei-Fuchs is a little to get use to. -c- ToxicTwinz
