Among the many projects Mike has been working on recently is a "Director's Cut" of the 1993 Waterboys album Dream Harder. Mike: "I came across Brendan O'Brien's unused mixes for this album and they were better than the ones on the record. So I revamped the album using several of the O'Brien tracks, and souped-up the sound of some others. I removed two numbers which I don't like so much and added two that I do. Also restored the full length New Life which, for reasons I now find inexplicable, I shortened at the time." The new cover photo was shot by Mike at Glastonbury Tor in 2022, the morning after the Waterboys played the festival. As of this time no physical copy is planned.
