Mike has stated this many months ago on his FB group page as well as more recently an acoustic folk album alogside. The latter being due to loving just playing his new Heron(?) acoustic. He's also stated he'll be working on the 5.1 Amarok ! Back to top

How it should sound? Hergest Ridge can sound as the prequel of TB, for example. I think it should have many guitar works in it, many acoustic passages, some irish instruments like dudes and so on, and not much synths at all. I'am very, very curious about the next album.

Obviously nothing set in stone and Mike follows where his muse takes him ! ... Happy with whatever Mike decides on since I know he'll put his heart and soul into it ! Do love Mike when he does rock though ! ... Include some innovative heavy metal Mike ! .... that would be fun ... and moving ... and exciting ! ... You did half-jokingly mention an HM album in a Sky News TV interview at the time of MOTS release. Link: HMV MO Interview Back to top
