Not sure who was playing it..   Think the Album will be worth buying though complete rather than cherry pick the MO track off it.. -------------- We're Flying Aeroflot, We've Got Reservations.

ironmike Group: Members Posts: 5 Joined: Aug. 2007 Posted: Sep. 16 2008, 08:12 From the sample from Play.com it sounds like something between Flowers of the Forrest and Closer. Anyway, good to know that Mike is still composing, so I guess he's not retiring, at least for now.... Back to top

There's a delicious irony there, if you think about it! ??? Don't see any irony there . Be more explicit please . It's the same here in France , i can't ordering via Play.com ... maybe with amazon.uk but not even sure . .... or is it about the fact that Tati doesn't want to buy the entire album or because she lives where the Amazon river goes through ? .... Honestly i don't want to buy the entire album but only Mike's track . Is it bad ? Back to top

wiga Group: Members Posts: 2113 Joined: Sep. 2008 Posted: Sep. 16 2008, 12:23 It is very heartening to hear that familiar MO 'sound' again, and good to know he is still making his music. -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon. Back to top

yanouch65 Group: Members Posts: 680 Joined: Feb. 2006 Posted: Sep. 16 2008, 15:04 Hey Korgscrew......hey manintherain.....hey Ray.... You know eveything about Mike's instruments, so tell us if Mike used the Fender or the PRS for this new track. I have seen somewhere that Mike recorded this track last year, therefore it is possible he used the Fender.... Thank you.... -------------- Ray said : "it is a shame you don't play" manintherain said: "You´d better ask Mr. Y who was first" yanouch65 says: "I am in love with Scotland" Back to top

Philippe Tavares Group: Members Posts: 1613 Joined: Feb. 2005 Posted: Sep. 16 2008, 19:11 I'm not a good guitarist , i know , but i guess any good Fender is a good Fender ! I think all is in the playing and the effects ! He has surely kept something that helps him to make his particular sound  ! So , that's probably played with the PRS . ...... Ehhh , José ? Did you let Mike play with your guitars ?     Back to top

Ray Group: Members Posts: 857 Joined: Jan. 2000 Posted: Sep. 16 2008, 19:20 Hey Mr Y It reminds me of something but i can't put my finger on it - perhaps Millenium Bell?? I would imagine he would have used one of the newer instruments for this.  But it is not really possible to tell. It sounds quite light on multitracking - ie not a lot of simultaneous tracks.  Quite pleasant really. Lstening again .... i have to go for the PRS... just something about the tone... but of course this could be processing? Hopefully he will make a mini video of him making this song and we will all be able to see it! Ray -------------- Looking out over the harbour in Peel....... Back to top

I listened to the 30 second clip on iTunes and thought it sounded alright. Some nice ethnic percussion and good old MO guitar. I was quite disappointed by the harsh and out-of-tune ethnic singing that's on the whole track. I may edit the MP3 to make it half the length....
