During the four years of making this album, I've been reflecting on the world as I see it, the actors and actions on this grand stage of life, love, death, prejudice, politics, separation, longing, hopes, and dreams. Musically, many of the seeds of these songs took hold a while ago and wouldn't let go, but to be fulfilled they needed input and inspiration from my producers Toni and Mike, and the talents of the singers and musicians that are featured within. My wish is that some of these themes will resonate with you.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith Gilles Peterson, undoubtedly one of the UK's most influential DJ's and tastemakers describing \u003cstrong\u003eMike Lindup\u003c\/strong\u003e as \"one of his all-time favorite vocalists\" and high praise from many other leading music broadcasters and writers, \u003cem\u003eChanges 2\u003c\/em\u003e is destined to be enjoyed by a multitude of discerning music and vinyl lovers the world over.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knapdale Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LPx2","offer_id":50989506429259,"sku":"2236793","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51061040152907,"sku":"2238213","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Changes_2_1b154c7f_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1734544348","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/changes-2-2","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
