Craig Armstrong
As If To Nothing

Descripción

Reeditado por Music On CD en Marzo del 2022 «As If To Nothing» es el título del segundo trabajo de estudio del músico y compositor escocés Craig Armstrong. Lanzado originalmente en el año 2002 contiene 15 canciones con colaboraciones de Evan Dando (The Lemonheads), Bono (U2), Mogwai y Rupert Parkes (Photek) en una obra conceptual capaz de unir diferentes ambientes, emociones y sensaciones.

This album becomes an ambient mood floating between and uniting quite a few gorgeous songs written by Craig Armstrong for the other artists he brings along to collaborate with him. The list is long and includes U2′ Bono (“Stay”), Steve Lindsay, Mogwai, Evan Dando and Photek. The beauty of Craig’s music is his ability to unite various styles and approaches by his underlying ambient texture so the entire album becomes a solid concept project

The listener is transported to another world while listening to the album. Great vocals are delivered by David McAlmont on “Snow” and with “Starless II” it brings us in the mood of King Crimson’s famous album ‘In The Court Of The Crimson King’ and “Choral Ending” finishes the project in an appropriate solemn way.
