I must agree that Dream Designer was a big miss, quite a terrible track. Pretty much similar to From Here To Nowhere, only much much weaker and waaaaay too fluffy. If that's going to be the sound of the new album, even a longtime superfan like me will finally lose faith in Mike. However, the previous Universal Voices EP was absolutely ace, and so are those Caromax tracks he's finally released last week. So I'm pretty sure he's still got it. I just hope he'll up his standard and carefully select which tracks he'll use for the album and which tracks he won't. I mean, there's no need for those electro-inspired tracks, since he already has his M.I.K.E. guise for that...

Damn, those new samples on his myspace sound very impressive.

exactly
alot of people dont realize how many aliases and songs this man put out
maybe half of the releases off of bonzai were from him alone under different aliases lol
but as for his recent stuff, the m.i.k.e album the perfect blend was very good imo
as was his new absolute album, i really like that alias lots of emotion
so to be honest i dont think i will ever hate m.i.k.e, cause he done so much for the scene, he may not be what he used to be back in 98-2003 banging out amazing trance tunes week after week
but i dont sleep on him cause every once in a while he does come out with some amazing stuff

IMO he made the best track last year: Absolute - Sky High

Originally posted by SMC I used to like M.I.K.E. but i've realized how incredibly uninspired many of his productions have been the past five years or so. He uses, reuses and abuses all his own cliches and makes tons of utterly forgettable tracks.

Agree, unfortunately. I'm not excited about his releases anymore. The last good one IMO was R.E.S.P.E.C.T

Have been living in the cave since his It's A Plastic World album. What did I miss out?
