The Space Between Us

Craig Armstrong

Sweeping orchestral swells meet the skeletal pulse of 90s trip-hop. A rain-streaked masterpiece of urban melancholy and cinematic romanticism.

1997 · Virgin

A sophisticated, rain-streaked melancholy that feels both intimate and architecturally grand.

Moments Worth Listening For

The transition in 'Weather Storm' where the delicate piano is suddenly swallowed by a massive, soaring wave of strings.

Elizabeth Fraser's ethereal, breathy delivery on 'This Love' disappearing into a cavernous reverb tail.

The way the drum machine beat on 'Sly II' provides a cold, mechanical skeleton for the lush orchestral body to drape over.
