Craig Armstrong - As If To Nothing

$36.00
A seriously lavish Dinked Archive Edition for award-winning Scottish composer Craig Armstrong’s trailblazing 2002 album ‘As If To Nothing’.
Description
Twenty years on from its original release, Craig Armstrong’s ‘As If To Nothing’ - his electronic/orchestral masterpiece featuring musical heavyweights Bono, Mogwai, Evan Dando, King Crimson and others - is being reissued for the first time on vinyl in a super-deluxe, super-limited edition run via Hydrogen Dukebox.

Remastered at Abbey Road Studios and cut at half-speed to produce a superior sound quality, the release comes completely repackaged with reimagined artwork by award-winning designer Christopher Thomson and includes a special 'Dinked Archive Edition' version limited to just 500 copies worldwide including a bonus 10" of a newly unearthed track from the original recording sessions.

Originally released on renowned UK electronic outfit Massive Attack's label Melankolic, the record captures an enduring mood and sentiment that continues to enchant listeners today, from the stirring opener ‘Ruthless Gravity’ to the euphoric closing of ‘Choral Ending’. Armstrong’s collaborative work with Massive Attack on the 1994 album ‘Protection’ is an influence that can be heard throughout ‘As If To Nothing’.

"Due to unavoidable delays in the manufacturing of Craig Armstrong's 'As If To Nothing' vinyl reissue and the Xmas shutdowns, we have had no choice but to move back the release date to March 17th 2023. We thank you all in advance for your understanding."
