4.0 out of 5 stars A marriage of percussion and electronic elements, August 29, 1998

Michael has lived a most unique music life. Playing with Santana, the Rolling Stone, and Go, he has done alot of different things in music. On "Transfer Station Blue", he adds many of these styles to his music. It is rare one can find a four track record that moves you to so many different areas of the world. The help he got from Klaus Schulze is fantastic and the guitar his brother plays is phenominal. Alas this is the only record quite like it in his catalogue, but one that is worthy of your attention.

3.0 out of 5 stars From RichardatOxford., January 16, 2007

Track 1 - A crescendo track; but at 13mins,won't get far enough for some.This is fine by me: Tangerine Dream were a bit like that (Shulze).Shrieve adds latin based,spontaneity,to dreamscape synths that are musical,not merely loops.Your player must be good enough to pick up the synths,amongst the [otherwise repetitive] percussion.

Track 2 - Shulzes baby of 5mins.More involved.In classical terms,strings held,with the Hammond organ breaking through....and the odd,synthed,rocket take off.

Track 3 - Is Track 1,again,with tablas; and with the synthesizers geared to the rhythm,not smooth.Moving into a Tom Scott section (TV program intro music; but with a guitar,not a sax).Moving back to earlier in the track: then the second section,again.Very good.12mins.

Track 4 - Is built around the guitar,that can be heard in the sample.Less dreamscape,more melody,with the synths.7mins.The mileage gained is from the play of guitar chords,which,in its total journey,must have a musical term to describe it.A very complete track.

Note the CD is only 37mins long.

I'm fussy.I'm keeping this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing else like it!, April 30, 2000

I got the tape of Transfer Station Blue about 10 years ago and I have listened to it dozens of times, but I still find new sonics in it. It is one of my all time favorite pieces of music. Trouble is, you can't listen to it as background music, you have to just close your eyes and let this marvellous sound roll over you. Does anyone know if he has written anything else like this?
