The Space Between Us

The Space Between Us is the debut solo album by Craig Armstrong, originally released in 1998[2] on Melankolic Records. Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins contributes vocals to the track “This Love”, and The Blue Nile’s Paul Buchanan appears on “Let’s Go Out Tonight”, which is a rework of the song of the same name by Blue Nile. The first track, “Weather Storm”, is a reworking of a song by the same name which appears on Massive Attack’s 1994 album, Protection, to which Armstrong contributed. Both versions of “Weather Storm” use a phrase taken from “Autumnal”, a 1972 work by Anthony Phillips, to be found on his 1979 album Private Parts & Pieces. Similarly, “Sly II” is a reworked version of Massive Attack’s “Sly”, also from Protection. “Balcony Scene” is a reworked version of “Time Stands Still,” from the score of the 1996 film Romeo + Juliet; it contains elements of “Kissing You” by Des’ree, as well as a quote from the film.
