Too harsh guys!
No need to retire, I still DO think he is doing pretty good...the only thing he is doing totally wrong is the aliases selection for his tracks. Its like a total randomizer!!
Im not sure if MIKE decide on his own on which alias he would pick for his tracks, but probably yes. I mean, I would help him, if he would hire me
But, he does not like me so much, despite me being probably one of his top 3 fans in the world. I was so critial about some of his post 2008 releases and he told me few times, that Im stuck in the past (he actually acuesed me of being Daysleeper
)
Well after a few more listens, I think there are some tracks which could be Push, like Drifting In The Zone with that cool gated synth melody in the middle...or Formality which sounds like Till We Meet Again part 2 (I would just drop of that car alarm sound in the middle).
I would kick those drumcode-like techno tracks out of this album and add some more trancy ones (like the last track on FSOE, which is more Push than any track of the album) or tracks like Remind or In The Dark You Shine and it would be pretty good album.
