| Guitar-Instrumental. Review by Chris Gardner from Jamestown, NY, USA (mp3.com/ChrisGardner): "Mike Burn's music is not worth listening to, not only because his songs all sound the same". Review by Mark Skipper - Damien Project (mp3.com/damien_project), Summerville, South Carolina, USA: "This song has a smooth fluid feel that is relaxing as well as inviting at the same time. It is always awesome to hear an artist that is using mood and technique as well as feeling does not have to "show" you they are talented but lets the combination of sounds tell you the talent is there!".

| *New* ***Review by Liam Hamer, Carlisle, Cumbria, U.K. (mp3.com/liamhamer): "From the opening bars this song draws you inward with it's dramatic spoken intro and the introduction of the synth strings and vocals. The contrast between overdriven guitar licks, synthesised voices and sensational vocals works beautifully to create an overall song texture that begs to be played over and over again. Lyrically this song will make a big impact with it's audience - because everyone needs someone to turn to and everyone wants someone to turn to them." |

| Review by Mark Hewer, Windsor, Ontario, Canada ( http://www.mp3.com/markhewer ): "'One Night' is more than just an explosive club track. This song is a hard driving, brilliantly produced example of what happens when you combine skilled guitar playing with melodic, imaginative synth melodies. All this, backed by a straight ahead rythym section that blows through your chest wall like a canon, leaves the listener spellbound. The guitar riffs in 'One Night' are remniscent of Toto, yet totally original in both sound and style, showcasing the unique Charvel 12 string hardbody. The lyrics are well thought out and the vocal performance is smooth and emotional. The bottom end has the depth of Genesis, and coupled with the precise high end, utilizes the full spectrum of graphic equalization for the serious audiophile and discriminating listener. There are no missing elements to this track, from the songwriting ability to the final mixdown, 'One Night' is radio ready, and destined to be a hit!" |

| Remix of the orginal vocal tracks sung by Nadine Renee (New York) http://www.mp3.com/nadinerenee. Review by I.B.Morgan, Isle of Wight, Hampshire - U.K. (http://www.mp3.com/prevoyance): Nice atmospheric tripped intro moves into a funky groove with great soulful vocals. Cool Electric guitar stabs and solos roll and ripple across this Smooth production in all the right places. The intro atmospherics return and twist and interact at points throughout the track, to add perfect spaciness to the excellent vocals and instruments at work. A cool grooved Summer filled Environment of sound. Echoes of cool 80`s influences. Overall a great mix, with nothing out of context. This man knows his stuff!. Highly recommended listening. |

| A very emotional song...add. Vocals: Anna Ronte***Review by Mrs. Phoenix, housewife, Hereford-UK: "Good car music." :(((( Comment by MP3.com Trance-Guru Starcatcher:Really like the acidy type line that plays throughout and adds an interesting dimension to the track. Made me yearn for a more clubby beat to complement it though. Another good track though, reminds me of your remix of Sexy DJ in that it has an older fashioned style but with some more up to date sounds added which really lifts the track.Ross (http://www.mp3.com/starcatcher) |

Reviewed by Chris from Sisters of Sharon ( http://www.sistersofsharon.com.hk)
:"In this life" starts off with a great acoustic guitar which conjures up images of summer sun & fun. This song creeps into your mind, as do the instruments; bringing a feeling of euphoria. Mike's voice is perfectly matched to the music. The bridge & the lyrics are great; bursting with passion. The entire song is fresh and unlike Mike Burn's previous offerings.
***Review by William Mendez, Mexico-City (http://www.mp3.com/2014): "The melodic morphology is audaciously asymmetric but it reaches a climax on the chorus. Reminds me of John Cougar and Bruce Springsteen singing style. The melody is the lyric's slave here, chaotic yet effective. The american way. Harmonically, the modulation from G+ to A+ (1:44 ) is another proof of Mr.Mister influence. The guitar playing - perfect as always. No more no less, just what's needed. Worthy of mention is the intro acoustic guitar!! Then again the arrangement has the typical 80's feel." |

| In this tune Mike Burn reflects his impressions during a winter-trip to Calgary/Canada. Such a beautiful landscape !
***Review by Alemis from Hiratsuka, Kanagawa - Japan (mp3.com/Alemis):"Platinum" is a very special piece of music. With the unique and unlikely combination of intricate tapdance-like polyrhythms, hazy melodies and chords, and driving back beats all skillfully interwoven into a flowing ever-changing texture; Mr. Burn takes us on a very remarkable listening experience. One never knows what to expect next. But strangely, when it's all finished, all the pieces have come together in a very satisfying manner. Definitely Electronic music at its very best." |

| Review by Ralph Dee (Lords of House) http://www.mp3.com/remixpro : Listen to "Listen" an its melody will stay in your ears for hours...The structure of the song couldn't be better, some nice breaks without beat and with FX (or Filters) put on the vocals and THEN you get some GREAT guitar-parts. Just good stuff. It's the soundtrack to spring. Not many people have managed to combine cool synth sounds with an electric guitar the way Mr. Burn did it in this song... |

| New song about the same old story... *** Kelly Adams, Canada ( mp3.com/kellyadams ): "If this is generation 'x', 'Sonya' just might be it's theme song. A mix of genres and eras, this vintage Mike Burns track features a lead guitar that offers soundtrack worthiness while synths lend themselves to all that made 80's pop hot again. The beat gives the whole track a club feel while the lead vocals are often accented with cool vocoder harmonies that make you forget all about Cher. Don't be suprised if you dial up to this track on your usual radio station!"
*** Tom Sielaff, USA ( mp3.com/ATom2 ): "What's not to like. What I think is really sweet about this song is I can hear at least 4 different era's of music all put into one song. I hear some guitar licks that remind me of the early 80's, the dance beat of today, early 90's synth, and the vocals are reminding me of video music on TV from the booming years in the mid 80's. Quite the mixture. I sometimes have a hard time figuring out where it's going to go. That, may be what makes it unique. "Someone" earlier said they had a problem with the song having guitar in it. Hell, that's what makes the song." *** Jon, USA ( mp3.com/Netjams ): "I hear something for everybody in that one" *** Randy S., USA ( mp3.com/unsub ): "SONYA is one of those few songs that you listen to and then have it stuck in your mind in replay mode.Nice work all the way around on this one, the vocals are great and the vibe the music sends off is both relaxing and "ROCK" worthy." *** Preston Parker, USA ( mp3.com/Preston_Parker ): "Don't touch that guitar track!! It's stunning. The loose wandering structure of the song is what's really different, so many styles, electronica, a little disco, an Alan Parson's Project vibe, the human and computerized vocals work great together. The best part though is definitely that guitar." *** Kathy Reynolds, USA ( mp3.com/KathyReynolds ): "Jam central with cool guitar and beats that never miss vocals are coming from a heart that is truly connected all the way through out this tune." |

The song is very 80's and I like that. The guitars interact nicely with the bass line and the arrangement of the song is great! The guitar line has got a good hook which make the song easy to remember.
Very good programming, I guess that Mike has been doing this for quite a while.
Over all a very good song!" |

| Power-Ballad with guitars... ***Review by BERM ( http://www.mp3.com/berm ) from Auckland, New-Zealand: "Sophie MP3 has a pretty melody and great vocals, powerful and catchy. Smooth backing track, some funk with rock, a modern sound, a deep bass and tasteful lead guitar work. Mike Burn displays a powerful blend of styles in his songwriting. I would recommend this song for all pop vocal fans!" ***Review by ALFANAN ( http://www.mp3.com/alfanan ) from Lewisville, Texas, USA: "I love the way the song starts out. The guitar melody that keeps kicking in and out is just breathtaking. Vocals are excellent. Listening to the guitar solo now. This track is very well put together. Production, Guitar work, Vocals, and background instruments are all blending in just right. I also like the effects that you added to the vocals. Gives it a nice ring. Great work on this track, I can see it being played on the radio. Nice job." |

| Review by Mark Hewer, Windsor, Ontario, Canada ( http://www.mp3.com/markhewer ): "*Warning* - 'Join It' may cause musically induced goosebumps. This is a sensational Pop ballad featuring sexy vocals, brilliant production, and the most tasteful lead guitar you will ever hear. Mike Burn puts on a songwriting clinic with this gem, demonstrating his trademark ability to weave his contagious melodies throughout the imaginative electronic backbone and solid rhythm section. I just can't get enough of this one, reminding me of a favorite old 45 rpm record that's played over and over until the needle wears through to the rubber on the turntable. Listen to this song once, and you'll be back for more, like a child who can't keep his hands out of the cookie jar!" |

| Short radio-version with a foggy intro, but...you'll go online with it if you like to party on 138bpm !***Review by DJ TRANSCEND from Glasgow-Dunbartonshire, Scotland: "I choose your track "Online" to review and i'm really glad I did - its a really brilliant track! Your production skills are first class. I'm only listening on lo-fi at the moment but this sounds so lush and everything is well placed within the mix. I also like your choice of sounds very much. The structure of the track is excellent and manages to stay unpredictable throughout.I can't praise this track highly enough. Anybody reading this should really make the effort to check this one out." |

| Review by William Mendez, Mexico-City (http://www.mp3.com/2014): "Now this one is sooo well produced and it has so many interesting details that I can listen to it for hours discovering each and everyone of them one by one. Great arrangement!!! (it sounds 80's too, more Toto kinda) but is so well done that makes you forget genres and trends. First of all I have to mention the guitar part on 3:00/3:08 which totally drives me crazy. On the other hand I'm not so crazy about the synth sound (first appearance 0:25),love the notes not the timbre. The melodic treatment is similar to "In This Life's" melody but here I can't find a distinctive part where to put the chorus when analyzing morphologically. That, in my opinion, makes the song less marquetable. However there's a melodic pattern which is used a lot (may be cuz it's beautiful)First appearance -1:00/1:03---"If you want me too". |

What the hell are you saying by the way? Not your usual dance mix, definately not eurotrash. You go through great changes in dynamic, no one segment is repeated ad nauseum. The vocals sound great whatever they're saying - like a creepy disney ride. Dark little tune. Very cool." |

| Review by Zack Hagan ( http://www.mp3.com/zhagan ), North White Plains, NY, USA: "Beat- four on the floor, cymbal work is interesting and original, shaker/hht filtered noise is great, and the snares are well placed, fills are minimal but evolving2. Melody / Harmony- good, i love the way the synths blend together, the lead synth sound is pretty common i'm still deciding what it means to the track. Arrangement- good solid techno/house/trance 8 measures and move on. Mood- grove is in the circuitry, i like this, it makes me want to roll all over the room. Sonic integrity (engineering)- excellent... especially the hhts and the guitar/synth sounds. Originality- it has it's own original mood, i've heard a lot of these elements before but never blended in this way." |

Same happens with the snare at 2:32[acoustic + rvb and panned (r)] Is it acoustic drum? The bass pattern is very, very good !.........reminds me of Steps Ahead (with M.Brecker). It has this electronic/jazz fussion feel which is so great for improvising over." |

| Ambient beginning, but...bobota-club-gas ! ***Review by anrkeboy ( http://www.mp3.com/anrkeboy ) from
Colorado Springs, USA: As a drummer and an electronic musician, I love when an artist pushes the boundaries of what is usually a pretty straightforward aspect of dance/techno music, the drums, and on Never Ask for Matzke Mike Burn does exactly that, creating a bit of confusion at first as the snare (hand clap, really) and bass seem to be working against each other, but the vibe that creates is great, especially when the rest of the music kicks in to solidify the groove. Although there's not many transitory aspects of the melody pieces, the song still pumps a groove that forces a listener to bob their head whether they want to or not. Tasty stuff, definitely a hard house groove with the drums but lots of trance elements in the bass and synths which is a perfect combination for this track! |

As with "Happiness," there's a nice influence of New Age and 70s R&B here, with a smooth sound and a strong beat that just begs for Lou Rawls or Barry White to lay down some sensuous vocals -- though the sound is very definitely turn-of-the-millennium. Anyone who likes to listen to Adult Contemporary radio should at least give this track a try." |

| Review by http://www.mp3.com/ochre from Hurley Atherstone Warwickshire / U.K.: It certainly sounds very soundtrack-like, with some atmospheric sounds in there - more minimal than some of your other tracks, which I prefer (to be honest a 4 on the floor beat gets a little tiring - nice to see a change here). There's a bass riff that sounds very retro, sort of like something you'd expect on an old disco track. Reminds me of Starsky and Hutch! Certainly retro. One criticism - the track doesn't seem to go anywhere else, and a few chord changes would be welcome before the track finishes. This seems quite an introspective, involving track, with less of the usual 'Ibiza dance' superficiality as found in a lot of the dance tracks on mp3.com (and in the real-world charts). |

| ***Review by Bob Greenwade ( http://www.mp3.com/BobsComputer ) from Corvallis, Oregon, USA: "With a title like "Happiness," I was expecting a track with strong beat, and a general sense of joy and exultation. This is even more appropriate: a general sense of serenity, still with an upbeat mood but in a laid-back sort of way. A good alternative title might be "Isn't It a Wonderful Day?," because that's almost what you want to say when listening to it. There's a clear influence here from both New Age music, and a little bit of 70s R&B. In short, it's more of a listening tune than a dancing tune, and I do recommend listening. The worst that can be said about it is that it may be just a bit long, but who really cares about that? I'm not in any hurry to get anywhere." |

The guitar solo also adds a cinematic quality and for some reason it reminds me of sleak car racing through the rainy misty Europa city-light night..." |
