No, that was a reaction to: keep on speculating, so he did

Maybe it's time to sum up all thoughts about the question why the album will not be released unit 2012:

- he's recording a double-album (one accoustic, the other electric) ==> dream
- there will be a tour in autumn/winter (DS-charity gigs or with the NHB?) ==> great
- it's gonna be a duet album with another well known musician (Gilmour, Clapton, Harris, Cale or Dylan..) ==> o.k.
- his wife is gonna have a baby ==> wonderful

my suggestions:

- there will be an album released in 2011 with b-sides an unrealesed material from the early Straits-stuff to Get Lucky ==> dream
- mark has to go to hospital doing a surgery concerning his problems on the last tour where he had to sit during performing or his doctor said that he should wait half a year to fully recover ==> get well soon

Let's keep on speculating....

I have a feeling about this post  

What if Leprechaun kind of posted the answer and we don

Excellent news!

Hmmmmm...

When you look at the facebook page of Ian Thomas you get the feeling that he will not play on the album.
Or not on the sessions these days.

Well, I had a look indeed (with very much delay!) and I now know what you were talking about! Ian Thomas seemed to have had a heart attack in early
June like a friend of him posted... But this is four weeks gone and we have seen the pic's of him sitting on MK's sofa in BG - could anyone imagine a better place to recover?  Hope he will be fully recover and have a good time with the actual recordings.

This could be a reason for album release delay, if Mark wants Ian to tour. But however, I don

A note on Ian Thomas, he has also played with another amazing guitarist/composer, non other than Mike Oldfield he played at the Tubular Bells 2 & 3 live concerts.

John on Twitter: Had a brilliant week recording in London on Mark Knopfler's new record. Loads of magic musicians over from Nashville.. It sounds Great

I suppose the sessions are done

[Pottel]

no, just first week in my opinion.
he mentioned more weeks to come (guy)

Hm... Interesting! He also said this in the beginning of last week: these sessions end at the end of the week . There is also a studio on Twitter, called Stakeout Studios, who said this on Saturday night: John McCusker flew in to amaze us with his Fiddle playing for Island Records!.

At the same time a have a feeling that, as you say Pottel, there might be some continuing work in the studio today. There is an unwritten diary-page... Maybe just some of the musicians are finished with their work on the record?

There is a clear sign that these sessions are over. Guy didnt updated anything in page 4.

He was updating the diary and answering question while recording, but during the weekends he remained in silence, and today he didnt answered any new questions nor uploaded more pics or text to the diary, so he

[Tally]

He's busy recording, of course!  Laying down the tracks for all the 10+ minute-songs

[Dutchessy]

The 2 weeks sessions are over i think? This is the 3th week since recording starts...

[Jules]

Guy already mentioned that the last week was the last week of recordings.

He also mentioned that the general schedule was, during the first week, having the core band (Glenn, Jim and Ian) recording overdubs on the material that MK and him already recorded previously, then Richard Bennett and Paul Franklin arrived to do the same, and during week two, the rest of the musicians (The Mc's and Phil) arrived to record their parts.

McCusker mentioned in his twitter that it was a great week recording with MK, so my guess is still the sessions are over:

And most important, Guy didnt answered any question nor posted anything new to the diary, clear sign that he is not working
