    I love this music so much! Was great to hear Michael and Kevin Haaland play Redemption and Hour in America live last year - acoustic! Amazing! Love Michael's solo music, too. He's working on a new album now.

    I will NEVER comprehend why The Rising/Film/Michael's pre-idol solo album never worked out. The songs are pure brilliance

    Perhabs a spotlight on Michael Johns / Michael Lee will lead to a re-issue of Future Unknown, or even a new album ?!? I hope so...
