Scottish producer Craig Armstrong scored countless
soundtracks to much acclaim during the '90s and into the
2000s. His soundtrack work was in fact so successful that
many big-name artists, such as U2 and Madonna, began
courting him, while he simultaneously pursued a solo
career as a down-tempo electronica producer beginning with
The Space Between Us in 1998. Though his collaborations
are too numerous to list, Armstrong's most successfully
paired with film director Baz Luhrman, producing big-
selling soundtracks for Romeo + Juliet (1998) and Moulin
Rouge (2001).
Born in Scotland, Armstrong began his production career in
the early '90s. He composed music for several BBC and STV
productions during this time, but his big break came with
the Scottish pop trio Big Dish. Armstrong co-wrote three
songs on the trio's Satellites album, released in 1991,
and also provided string arrangements for the album. Three
years later, in 1994, Armstrong worked with renowned trip
-hop group Massive Attack on its genre-defining Protection
album. This association with Massive Attack would pay
dividends a few years later when the group released
Armstrong's debut full-length album on its Melankolic
label. By the end of the '90s, Armstrong had collaborated
with such big-name artists as U2, Madonna, Hole, the Spice
Girls, the London Suede, and Tina Turner, in addition to
many other lesser-known artists.
As mentioned, Massive Attack released Armstrong's solo
debut, The Space Between Us, in 1998. The album didn't
prove to be as popular as expected, but it nonetheless
increased Armstrong's reputation as a noteworthy producer.
During this same late-'90s era, Armstrong continued
working on soundtrack projects, which remained his most
acclaimed work. His work for Jake Scott's debut film,
Plunkett & Macleane, was perhaps his most visible work,
being released by Astralwerks in the States (as had The
Space Between Us a year earlier). However, he worked on
soundtracks for much more successful films such as
Mission: Impossible (1996), Romeo + Juliet (1998), Cruel
Intentions (1999), and -- perhaps his most celebrated
soundtrack work -- Moulin Rouge (2001). Following the
success of Moulin Rouge, and its second volume, Armstrong
returned in 2002 with his second non-soundtrack full-
length effort, As if to Nothing, which boasted a new
version of U2's "Stay (Faraway, So Close)." In 2004, he
provided the score for the Ray Charles biopic Ray, and in
2005, an anthology of his film work was released.
