4.0 out of 5 stars a great a o r album, 10 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Mike and the Mechanics Hits [MINIDISC] (Mini-Disc)
Although Mike Rutherford is most famous for his work with Genesis, its just hard to believe how many hits his side project Mike & The Mechanics have had and just what a force they have become in the music industry. This album highlights the first ten years of the band's career and showcases material covering their fist four albums. The album includes some great pop tracks like "All I Need Is A Miracle" and "Silent Running" as well as softer hits like "The Living Years" and "A Time And A Place" as well as more rock based tracks like "Word Of Mouth" as well as more laid back rock tracks like "Over My Shoulder", "A Beggar On A Beach Of Gold" and "Another Cup OF Coffee". It's simply a great collection of the greatest hits of one of the best bands of modern times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic for the living years..., 22 Jun 2006
By Mr. Andrew Moore "lord derfel cadarn" (Worcestershire) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Now to be honest I do not keep up with music; I just hear something I like and maybe I'll buy it. OK, that said I did know some of the tacks from Mike and the Mechanics and just love "The Living Years". So when my wife got me this CD for my birthday I was surprised to see so many of the songs I knew and loved without even realising it was Mike...!
Anyway, this CD is superb. The tallent on this CD is second to non, artists and writers... Mike Rutherford, BA Robertson, Paul Carrack... to name but three.
All I need is a miracle is upbeat and fun, Over my shoulder realy lifts the spirit like a true ballad and as for the already mentioned Living Years... the words and sentiment cannot fail to touch a chord with lyrics like "I wasn't there that morning when my father passed away. I never got to tell him all the things I had to say" then going on to say about finding his fathers spirit in the tear of his newborn baby. Powerful stuff indeed.
WSould I recommend this to you? definitely; whether you like Mike and the Mechanics, know their work or not this CD is certainly one you'll l;isten to time after time. Its beautiful!

First saw Mike and the Mechanics supporting Rod Stewart at Wembley many years ago........this Album is just great and hardly "background" music....one to have in any collection.

Paul Carrick has as much pedigree in the world of rock as Mike Rutherford; likewise Tim Renwick and Peter Van Hooke's names are more than familiar. Read more
