    No Words is just that -- no words. This instrumental CD is soothing, like a bath for an exhausted body. Styles of classical married with a profound orchestrated build that breaks into funky electric guitar solos complemented by a soulful organ. From mysterious to worshipful, Mike creates a rare variety of emotions using his guitars as vocals emulating his passion. Very talented and superbly produced.
