However, the real standouts are the cinematic tour-de-forces “Silent Running,” “You Are the One,” "A Call to Arms," and “Taken In,” the latter two of which presage Mike + The Mechanics’ 1988 hit title track, “The Living Years.”This was the beginning of a long and successful second musical life for Rutherford, who continues to perform with The Mechanics. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mike & The Mechanics hits the spot! *by 9***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2008* The first, and one of the best, "Mike & the Mechanics" from start to finish is a masterpiece worth the attention. I couldn't put it down once I started listening to it, every song on here is a hit! Here's my overview of the album:Silent Running- New wave sound, Carrack's vocals are perfect for this track. Lyrics about secret revolution. Best song on the album.All I Need is a Miracle- Remember this song? The upbeat melody and catchy lyrics? It's all here! Paul Young was the best choice to sing this one!Par Avion- Soft love song, calm and sweet. I don't know who is singing this one, but the vocals are just beautiful.Hanging by a Thread- Rocker song added in some electronic sound along with Young's powerful vocals. Lyrics about a bad dream dealing with execution.I Get the Feeling- A good-feeling song with upbeat melodies. Not my personal favorite.Take the Reins- Another upbeat rocker featuring Young once again, it kinda gets old fast, but that's just my take.You are the One- That voice again! Who is it? Simple keyboard is all that plays on this track, a simple little love song.A Call to Arms- Yes, this is a winner. Another new wave inspired song with a hint of rock topped off with Carrack's unforgettable voice. The lyrics deal with calling people to take up arms and fight the enemy. This one you can't pass up.Taken In- Now this is truly one of my favorites. Upbeat tempo slow-rock song featuring Young's vocals. Sexy saxophone in this song makes it one of the best! It adds to the final touch, good ending song!The only flaw with this album is that it only has 9 tracks and I wished there could've been more. With that said, I recommend this album if you enjoy Genesis, Mike Rutherford's work, love the sound of the 80's, or you want to relive the good old days. This album is one the best! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of My Favorite CDs! *by S***L on Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2009* Surprisingly the popular British group, Genesis, disbanded and they all went on their individual ways. The most famous member is Phil Collins but there is Peter Gabriel and Mike Rutherford who formed his own group, Mike and the Mechanics. This compilation is the first record of the group I believe. Their songs have a soothing, calm, inspirational effect on me while I listen driving my car. I used to listen to this tape of the same album at work. There were only about 9 or 10 songs on albums as well as tapes. Now, there is double of it. Listening to it entirely this morning, I enjoyed every song with it's unique sound and blend of style. I felt like this music is poetry with lyrics and an eighties sound that I truly feel has gone away. Music in the eighties weren't just about MTV and videos but about messages about love, relationships, individuality, politics, social issues, etc. They don't make that kind of music anymore for the upcoming generation and it's a shame. During the eighties, I listened and watched all kinds of videos by different artists. I miss that world of MTV where music and videos ruled the airwaves. Listening to Mike and the Mechanics, I am nostalgic for those days of youth long past behind me. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/15582354-mike-and-mechanics](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/15582354-mike-and-mechanics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
