(1998)"Another World" is the second full studio album delivered by Queen guitarist,
Brian May . Recorded at his home studio after the completion of the last Queen album,Made in Heaven , the album was released in the UK onJune 1 1998 and on September 15th of that year in the US. The album itself started life out as a cover album. The "Heroes" concept was to record his favourite tracks from his favourite artists, but the idea soon mutated into a full album. Some of the covers found their place on the album, whilst others were released as B-sides to singles and on the Another World tour promo CD.Brian May's words
"Yes, it's been 6 years - a very long time to make my second solo album. Of course there were a few distractions.......I would love to tell you that after "Back to the Light", I stepped into a luminous place where life all made sense. But of course that is not the case. I would love to say that I found the True Direction, freed my spirit, and could tell you all about it, but, alas, no - not even close....Hey! - I tried... This album is the outpouring of a confused brain still trying to make sense of EVERYTHING, and amidst vast areas of despair, finding a few flashes of light. These are what I would like to share with you. Just one warning - in Another World, things are never QUITE what they seem...That's it. We journey on. Hope you Enjoy."
"Love,"
"Brian May"
