Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: Aug. 16 2011, 12:15 According to their facebook and twitter posts dating back to November 2010, Mike has been collaborating with German electronica music duo York on tracks for their forthcoming album. The comments suggest Mike features on at least one chillout track on the album which is due to be released later in 2011. Kudos to Tati for spotting this! -------------- "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

Choose your punishment Yes, awakening seems to be one of their hits. Not the sort of thing I personally go for but some chillout stuff I quite like so I'll be intrigued to hear what if anything comes from this... -------------- "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

Olivier Group: Super Admins Posts: 1868 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Aug. 16 2011, 21:05 Sounds like Mike's way to make us realize L&S is not that bad.   I much prefer this style: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgF99zTv6nY Back to top

This track shows promise! http://www.youtube.com/v/5XC1EjDHTX4?version=3 It could be a good way for MO to spend his latter years as a guiding STAR, rather than a white dwarf/dark one. -------------- L◎ST ◎MMADAWN VERSI◎N RIDDLE ANSWER  mIChaeI GOrDOn OIDfIeId. =  I C   1  G◎D   OO ID I I or replace the L's that were turned in to I's & 1 gets ID◎L G◎LD ID◎L (4 ANSWER IN FULL + EXPLANATION, C ALBUM SECTION/☮MMADAWN/i-say-i-say-i-say-i-say-in-answer4XXX4Acr⊕ss Back to top

Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: Aug. 17 2011, 04:37 I don't know how they first met up, York did seem to be in Ibiza in the later 90's so maybe then. Now it looks like they are in Antigua, a couple of hours flight from Mike in the Bahamas. Another comment on facebook suggests that "Mikes latest music video" has already been shot by a film company called Moist Creation. The comment seems to be by one of the film directors at that company so maybe he was involved in making it? He seemed to like it anyway, assuming he was talking about a track involving Mike and assuming I'm understanding 21-century-speak correctly: "I heard one of the new tracks, its sick ^_^" Edit: Moist creation seem to have done other work for Mike -------------- "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

So if i understand , for you L&S is better than Tres Lunas ? ... sorry but i disagree !!! ...you see ? it seems that each of us has a different way to listen to and feel the music of Mike !
