Yeah, great thing about Adrian Belew! I think everyone here should listen to King Crimson (if you can handle it), it's a great band (although I'm not very sure about their latest album) but they are still unique and original. Maybe Mike should try King Crimson style? Or how about an collaboration with Robert Fripp?
I'm still thinking a bit about Mike's music. I'm listening TSODE at the moment, haven't listened it for a while. Right now I'm thinking: "hey, maybe this sounds like a big goodbye from Mike, this album". Remember Mike saying in an interview at that time it's the beginning of Mike the multimedia artist? Maybe he said goodbye to the real music and began in multimedia rather than staying in music. He just makes music as a hobby, as his second work.
So you could say that TSODE was his latest album as a musician, and after that started another career, hence the quality of his music. Or maybe he is taking a break and picking up the music career after the Music VR stuff? Just my thoughts at the moment. I never guessed I would say this.
And about Mike and trance: NO. Mike should never, and never get into trance or dance or other of this music. What I hear of trance nowadays is music of people who can't express themselves (like Mike said of the punk people back then). I don't know about the early trance, but what I hear nowadays is total crap. DJ's get praised in heaven like they are great musicians or something. It's a crazy world out there.
