I've recently been scouring youtube for videos accompanying Mike's music. To my surprise - and to the best of my knowledge- one of my all-time favourite MO pieces, the title track to QE2, is not even available to listen to on youtube, much less enjoy with video accompaniment. Very strange!

I think there is much better stuff on that album. I possibly underrate it.  :D

Hmm, yes, this thread has prompted me to put it on iTunes; I agree, not up there with the "classics" but some good stuff, and probably the last decent album before he went "pop" (5MO) or new age

Just listened to Taurus 1, the end bit is slightly reminiscent of the SH2000 reprise to the "Canon for Two Vibraphones" on Incantations (which is a good thing!;)

It's quite odd - I always thought I didn't like Taurus 1 but I listened to it the other day and found that I actually do :laugh: As they say, go figure!
