Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: April 08 2008, 07:20 The Metro today (Tuesday 8th April 2008) has a short article on Mike mostly referring to the 5 minute interview recently in the Independent. Absolutely superb reporting, concluding that you can buy Mikes "8th album" Music of the Spheres. While some of us here might discount some of Mikes works forgetting to mention 16 (if I've counted right) of his albums seems a bit much! You can find the article at this link. -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

I was at work earlier, counting on my fingers the albums thru the decades from memory. Killing Fields MUST be included. I may not have liked it, but it was new original material. TB2003......hmmm......Do a poll on that. My vote would be no. It was a remake, not original new material as with TB2 and TB3. Really, do a poll on that thang....let's let the experts vote! Either way, MO has more than 8 friggin' albums and a very hefty resume of 20+ albums.

It`s not even 8 since he left Virgin.Counting on fingers here I`m pretty sure it`s that number that comes after 8,and just before my pinkee.(unless you count that 2003 thing then and all the compilations.In which case I`ll have to take my shoes off) Back to top
