I would like to know if there is some info about who directed all the videos we know from Mike,the only one I know is Howard Greenhalgh,for Let the Be Light...

Any hints about the others?

Alex Proyas (I think thats how you spell his name) co-directed Magic Touch. He's now or was a big movie director, he directed The Crow and other movies but I'm not sure which, try a search on his name in some movie data base to find out. Intrestingly I think this video is one of the few better one's, nice black and white montages and doesn't look to dated or cheesy today. The other guy who helped Mike do the whole of the Wind Chimes project, I can't remember his name and my video isn't at hand, was I think quite well known in the 80's for doing music video stuff.

The Wind Chimes by today's standards looks appalingly crap but you've got to remember this was state of the art stuff back in 1987 infact I saw a TV documentary at the time about Mike making it and the 'Mirage' photographic computer he used cost in the region of 2 million pounds.

The man you're thinking of would be Peter Claridge.

I also think that Magic Touch is the one which has stood the test of time best of all. Apparently the only thing in there which Mike created was the strange little drummer which looks like a relative of Bertie Bassett...
I think I remember Mike saying that he felt he wasn't really very good at making videos.
