Side project by Genesis guitarist Mike Rutherford, not that you didn't already know that. Mike (without the Mechanics) has a song on the Against All Odds soundtrack.

"Mike + the Mechanics"

1. "Silent Running" (6:14)
2. "All I Need is a Miracle" (4:10)
3. "Par Avion" (3:35)
4. "Hanging by a Thread" (4:41)
5. "I Get the Feeling" (4:30)
6. "Take the Reins" (4:18)
7. "You Are the One" (3:45)
8. "A Call to Arms" (4:41)
9. "Taken In" (4:17)

Only reason I bought this thing was because I couldn't find a decent mp3 of "Silent Running" on Napster. :) Which actually turned out to be a good thing, because there's a handful of nice, upbeat pop-rock songs on here ("All I Need is a Miracle", "Hanging by a Thread", "Take the Reins".) "I Get the Feeling" is a curious 60s-style tune, and "You Are the One" is a pleasant ballad in the vein of Tony Banks' first solo album. In fact, the only song I positively HATE is "Taken In", but that's why CD players come with remotes...
