Song For A Brave NEW World Link to Song
Composed by Michael. First Formal release as "LikeMinds". Very unique composition. More synth oriented than guitar. Kinda Genesis meets Weather Report. ENJOY

I Still Love You by Michael Rud Link to Song
Our first Collaboration. I was drawn to this piece because of it's sheer melodic beauty. It reminds me of the days when I listened to Pat Matheny. Another of Michael's crowning achievements.

STONEHENGE by Michael Rud Link to Song
A mystical journey inspired by the ancient ruins. One can almost picture ones self at the site witnessing an ancient ceremony or rite of passage.

D JAM by Michael Rud Link to Song
A LIVE sounding version of a concert type jam session. Although the parts were recorded at different times in different locations one would swear that it was recorded as a LIVE SESSION.

Spirit Dance by Michael Rud Link to Song
A unique track with a TRIBAL feel to it. Very engaging both rhythmically and melodically.

In Your Emerald Green Eyes by Michael Rud Link to Song
A New Age Acoustic Piece.

RUNNING MAN By Michael Rud Link to Song
