20th Anniversary: MIKE + THE MECHANICS - M6 (1999)

To be honest Christian, not a huge fan of Mike's solo work. Too poppy with lots of song driven music. Not my taste at all.... Though there are a few tracks that are not too bad..

I used to listen to that one a lot and Look across at dreamland and When I get over you are my favorites. Have to check it out again! Thanks for bringing that back to my attention

I didn't like the album when it came out, so I basically agree. But certain songs are quite nice, such as All the light I need or My little island. But as a whole, it was a step back after the superb Beggar album.

Their best album IMO , criminally underrated!

Wouldn‘t go that far, but obviously it didn’t and doesn’t get the credit it deserves. There are a couple of nice tracks on it. Maybe it’s simply too long? Who knows, but imagine this album had 10 or 11 tracks only.
