family holiday during school holiday of his youngest kids.

It seems Salvador Lavado is not involved in cover/album design this time. Here is what he tweeted:

unfortunately not as it seems the design process is already in motion and I am not involved this time.

Cover Design already up and running before mixing is ready... It seems they changed the usual schedule a little bit..

Maybe there is a confussion and could be my fault... I read something in Guy

[Love Expresso]

Oh, I don't think you have to worry about that. Salvador will know for sure if he is involved or not!

Q: Has the CD artwork & design process started or do you wait until the music is finished and then look at what best suits the finished songs? Thanks

A: It has and we do

Sounds to me like Guy's answer means the music is already finished!

No, the music is not yet finished, the mix will start next week.
Q: When will you upload the last studio diary [...] ?
A: Most likely next week, since that's when we start the mix.

So, they already know and are working in the design thing, but the record is not finished.

Quite strange.

Mark has an affinity for young, pretty female folk singers, eh?

[Love Expresso]

Same thought here. They all have a special "natural" touch!

Yes, but it's all about the voice! I imagine that a young singer is preferred only because this experience would help her career! And to bring a breath of fresh air into an old act.    Everything else is plain speculation.

Probably that's the case with Emmylou - she's a pretty folk singer, but since her career is kind of a non-issue, she could be older

[vgonis]

Jackal I like the way you think! Your inductive method can lead us to many wonderful thought labyrinths!

[Love Expresso]

Guy said it today, at last we get some really exciting news! So let's hope it will not be another "best-of"... I presume they ARE working for some time now
and Mark just wanted it to be kept secret. So maybe no weekly diary this time?

I quoted my own post that started this thread because it was ecactly one year ago that we got the news about the NEWS. Now, one year and a surprising and short but great Bob/Mark tour later, we still do not know any more apart from that a new album is in production. So this time Mark really takes his time. I like this. Let's hope it will lead to a real great new album where this long working time is reflecting in some real great songs!

From Guy this morning:

....... can we expect any high profile guests like in STP? And to be more precisely, can we expect to hear Dylan's voice in Mark's new record?

Guy:    No way

[Love Expresso]

Yeah, saw that just a minute ago. And the other answer about release date is also interesting:

Not the spring


come on, which can only mean THIS SUMMER!  Has MK or DS ever released anything in June/July/August?

Too lazy to check out...
