VOLUME

This acoustic album features guest vocals from Tommy Scott (Space). Piano and organ from Henry Priestman (The Christians) and was produced by Paul Hemmings.

This simple understated album was a project that gave Mike a chance to make a personal statement. He says "I had a collection of songs in the same vein, reflective and plaintive and I liked the idea of an acoustic album that hopefully won't date".

Paul Du Noyer, Mojo, Feb 1999

"A quiet beautiful album made in the spirit of Astral Weeks, which grows with every listen"
John Bennett, The Journal, Feb 1999

Badger stakes out classic
singer - songwriter territory.
Caroline Sullivan - The Guardian, Jan 1999

Volume is a gem. Delicate, beautiful, dizzying and dreamlike. Packed with gorgeously fragile
songs coloured with purity and subtlety.
Ian Salmon - Bigmouth, Feb 1999
