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\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\n\u003cp\u003eMidge will be touring\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA Man of Two Worlds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eon 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\u003cp\u003eFormat description: 2CD Mediabook (DVD sized) with a 20 page booklet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat description: A 2LP black vinyl in two 3mm spined sleeves, printed inners housed in a card slipcase.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CHRYSALIS RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":56875839357272,"sku":"TKM-33202","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2LP","offer_id":56875839390040,"sku":"TKM-33203","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4266\/0184\/files\/17ffc1e55e527cdafc4237a837382bd9.jpg?v=1773138283","url":"https:\/\/truckmusic.store\/products\/midge-ure-a-man-of-two-worlds","provider":"Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
