Between the virtuosic riffs of Rutherford and moody, evocative vocals traded off between veterans Paul Carrack and Paul Young, Mike + the Mechanics formed one of the more refined pop acts of their day. The success of the first two singles [Silent Running and All I Need Is a Miracle] surprised everyone, me included. They scored a #1 U.S. hit in 1988 with the title track to the top 20 The Living Years (RealAudio excerpt), which was also a big UK hit. Mike + the Mechanics didn't release another album until 1988's The Living Years.
