Spanish Sunday magazine El Dominical ran a two page feature on Mike yesterday.

Perhaps his most interesting revelation in the article is how he originally considered using electric guitar on the album, but felt it didn't fit.

I'm glad that Mike has done the best choice to not to use electric guitars on MOTS,I can't imagine him playing them the way the album has got its current shape,with full orchestra and choir.

For me it would have sounded like a symphonic rock album than a classical one,falling into those all recycled ideas that now Mike is really against regarding rock music...those type of albums are too 70's...and Mike has done something similar before on Exposed.Leave those ideas in the past,please,new and progressive stuff are always welcome!


If there's a chance to hear a rockier version of MOTS,then the PRS is perfect to do the job,as well as other guitars.
