"NEW ALBUM UPDATE: Mark is continuing to work on his next solo album. He is unlikely to start mixing the album until early 2012 and there is currently no release schedule. Further info will be posted as it becomes available. (updated: 15/06/11)".

Have you considered that MK maybe just wants to mix it in 2012? That it might not be a delay, just his plan? This could mean the usual autoumn release and then a summer tour of 2013. Or the more optimistic option: a spring release and a summer 2012 tour.

I think you're the only one who can have some fun regarding the situation.

I like the idea of a somewhat more produced record (like Golden Heart) instead of the 'first-take' stuff like YCBTH.

In term of production I would say STP.

GH is more or less a patchwork than something really produced, a difficult project for Mark as an attemp to work quite differently than with Dire straits. Funny, as soon as the following album, back to the 1 studio 1 core band scheme.

Hi!!
This is my first post here on the AMIT forum. I've been reading you for a lot of time. I'm a Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits fan since 2001 (I'm quite young, 21 years old) when I bought the Sailing to Philadelphia album; then all the magic came: Golden Heart and all the albums from Dire Straits times. I' ve seen Mark Knopfler live only once, and it was in Bilbao, since I'm from the Basque Country, in the north of Spain.

Well, this is what i've read recently on an apparently reliable source (it seems that it comes from someone next to Mark) and i think you have to know right now:

Although the new album will be mixed on early 2012, there'll be a tour on early 2012 as well (i suppose it will be march, as always) 

From the same source: Danny wont be on the new album. This is something we'll discover soon on GF's diary.



Sorry for the long post and my crappy english!

Hugs from the Basque Country!!!

[joanzimm]

A tour in early 2012!!!!!  I hope so

[Jules]

Yes, a spanish fan posted that info in Spanish City Mailing List telling that info from "a source close to MK"

I dont believe a word until I read it from MKNEWS, Guy or any of the musicians involved 

And Ibai, welcome!, I

AMIT - First with the scoops!

Welcome on AMIT Ibai

Mmmmmm... No Danny ... sigh... Is Chad back? lol
Anyway... I'm sure Mark's choice would be the good one !

So if the end of the world (according to the mayans calendars) is true... We gonna have a WONDERFUL 2012 year...
Buying the album going to concerts and dying "happy".  




(of course i don't beleive any seconds in the mayans stuff... but just for fun...)
