Fragile

Description

Fragile is the first collection of new, original music from Grammy and Brit award winning musician Midge Ure in over a decade and is an album of beautifully crafted, atmospheric music recorded at Midges own studio in Bath.

Fragile is a culmination of influences garnered from a lifetime in the music business from one of Scotlands foremost songwiriters. It shows elements of Ures musical journey displaying his accomplished guitar work (Rich Kids, Thin Lizzy) and the electronics and technology he has utilised since the late 1970s (Visage, Ultravox). These elements combine and blend with ease thanks to his production and engineering skills. This really can be termed a solo album as Midge has written, arranged, engineered, produced and played almost everything in his studio in Bath.

Atmospheric music from a skilled songwriter which swings from Become and Dark, Dark Night where he collaborated with fellow musician Moby and shows more than a passing a nod to his electronic roots, all the way to the heady, cinematic soundscape of Fragile or Star Crossed which could almost be termed contemporary prog rock all sitting comfortably side by side on this latest offering.

Its all about songs with melody and atmosphere Ure claims musical influences hopefully dont ever stop and I think on this album you can hear elements of the music which has shaped me over the years. Kind of wearing my musical heart on my sleeve
