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 on June 1st and on September 15th in the US. The album itself started life out as a cover album. The "Hero's" 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.

[edit] 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
