Overview

The Devil & Midnight (Radio Edit) --- 2011

"The Devil & Midnight" Featuring Yolanda Quartey is the first single taken [from] Nitin Sawhney's ninth studio album "Last Days Of Meaning". Played by the legendary actor John Hurt, the album's main character - Donald Meaning - is an embittered old Dickensian man, fearful of immigrants, terrorists and the outside world. He sits in a room raging against childhood memories, society, himself and a small tape recorder sent to him by his ex-wife. The cassette-recorder contains the songs of the album. A message of reflection, shared memory, empathy and ultimately hope. Featuring an array of galvanising performances by singers and musicians alike, (including Yolanda, Natty, Hannah Peel & Tina Grace), the new album is a response to the fear, dogmatism and entrenchment that we sometimes acquire with age. Last Days Of Meaning shows: 03/11 & 04/11 London, Islington Union Chapel (p)&(c) Positiv-ID 2011 Comes in stickered plastic sleeve, with basic paper insert.
