Mike + The Mechanics

This collaboration features Paul Carrack and Paul Young, who bring a distinct soulfulness to tracks like the anthem All I Need Is A Miracle. It focuses on sharp hooks and precise songwriting rather than technical density.

Sophisticated studio techniques from the mid-eighties give the music a glossy, expansive quality. Through the clever use of synthesizers and gated-reverb drums, the record achieves a balance between melodic accuracy and accessible pop-rock.
