The first half, World One: Music, consists of eight instrumental pieces, while the second half, World Two: Songs, features eight vocal songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis concept was partly inspired by the time Midge spent during lockdown listening to instrumental music whilst presenting The space on Scala Radio.

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","brand":"Chrysalis","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Black","offer_id":56759582458187,"sku":"R6435-5698","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2CD","offer_id":56759582490955,"sku":"R6435-3447","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/f147c77b-d776-4650-9764-305814942946.jpg?v=1773103009"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_a41de216_thumbnail_4096_bb240dea-6124-4aba-aa75-1023ae35cc5c.jpg?v=1726284411","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/midge-ure.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
