Returning after more than a decade away from new material, he arrives here with a record that reflects both sides of his musical identity, the composer who lets melody carry the weight, and the vocalist who always knew when a lyric was necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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, \u003cem\u003eA Man of Two Worlds\u003c\/em\u003e is his first album of new material in 12 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWell worth the wait, the album is a formidable collection of outstanding music, divided into two clear parts. The first half, \u003cem\u003eWorld One: Music\u003c\/em\u003e, consists of eight instrumental pieces, while the second half, \u003cem\u003eWorld Two: Songs\u003c\/em\u003e, features eight vocal songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis concept was partly inspired by the time Midge spent during lockdown listening to instrumental music whilst presenting \u003cem\u003eTHE SPACE\u003c\/em\u003e 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\r\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\r\n\u003cp\u003eMidge will be touring \u003cem\u003eA Man of Two Worlds\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDisc 1\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. A Different View (4:14)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. The Space In-Between (4:23)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Hearing The Invisible (3:56)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Just Below The Surface (4:20)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. The Dimming Light (4:49)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. The Other Side (5:51)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. Blues And Greys (3:24)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. The Pictures You Carry With You (4:10)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDisc 2\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Just Words (5:49)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. World Away (5:18)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Shouting To The Moon (5:19)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Caught In The Middle (5:54)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Ordinary Man (Precious Moments) (4:51)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Somewhere Out There (4:14)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. The Man Who Stole Your Soul (5:13)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. Fan The Flame (4:17)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 840401723548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrysalis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.12.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49991375651058,"sku":"127305433","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/Midge-Ure-A-Man-Of-Two-Worlds-2-CD.jpg?v=1787925508","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/midge-ure-a-man-of-two-worlds-2-cd-1","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
