Upon listening to this album, you can hear in Mike's playing, his admiration for Keith Emerson So much in fact that he does a really nice cover of Emerson's "Blues Variations" on Starship Universe. Mike also does all the singing on the album. While he's not one of the strongest singers, he fits perfectly within the style and flow of the album. He also does electronic drums and rhythm programming for the most part with the exception of a few tracks where he uses a live drummer. Unless you listen beyond the music, you really cant tell or rather care that it's not real players doing the drums and bass.
