Mike recently moved to his £5, 000,000, grade II listed estate in South Gloucestershire. Mike has another sprog on the way, Number 7. Mike is now financially secure and has considered retirement. Maybe he doesn't want to carry on producing music until he is old and grey, years of sequencer programming have took there toll. Music of the Spheres was recorded at Abbey Road Studio Number One in June, it has been extensively remixed and is hard to recognize from the original recording, approximately 45 minutes long. It will be released in UK on 12 November 2007. There are plans for a possible tour following the album release. I look forward to hearing peoples comments.

what the hell is "another sprog on the way" ???

the rest is hearsay bullocks...
MO have been financially secure for many years now and even now and then, he makes statements "about retirement" - usually after a extensive work in the studio or recording and he is exhausted.
After a little break he is ready again    :cool:
Personally I don´t think he will retire because music is his life.

Try again   :p

Where have you been? You're living in a bubble mate. There's a ton of news you've missed out on including, and in no particular order, Mike goes to toilet, Mike washes dishes, Mike sits down to read book, Mike goes for swim. Most of this was reported months ago and was heavily debated over and deconstructed  by myself, Alan D, Sir Mustapha , Korgscrew and various others. Opinions varied hugely with me personally feeling Mike's second visit to the toilet was nothing but a blatant cash in on his first, added nothing to the experience and seemed  like unreserved attention seeking.    

Sorry I think I've seen one to many comedy shows up here at the Edinburgh Festival

Anyway keep up the good work

Sprog is a slang which means children.
It's going to be the second one from Mike and Fanny :P

Does my life is going to change after getting to know this important "news"?
NOPE!

But a new baby means = no more long tours...I don't think he's going to promote MOTS with concerts,really.

Thanks Tati,  I learned something new today then   :)

Whether he has a new kid or not, I think you´re right on the money!  I have a hard time seeing a tour with a classical piece and 80 musicians coz it cost a ton of money to make it happen

Leesonar,  I am very sorry that what appears to be your first ever post here on this forum meet with such abusive remarks from some very rude members.

I can only say thank goodness Tati was here for you in her Sentinel way to give you an experience less painful.

To all members this person was only trying to bring you the news he/she had that they thought you might like to share, so please members these are people who deserve every bit of respect that you would wish to receive to get from others.

i.e. a simple linking up of this new member to what you knew would have been a far more civilised response, would it not?.
