"Very soon" is back.. I don't know which emoji to use.. He knows I lovehate that phrase. Words filled with hope. I have to hold on to the fact that it is good that they are doing *something*

GF:

We are actually still recording so there is no date set for release. (new album MK) Inevitably, the Local Hero musical has delayed things somewhat. Mark and I are back in the studio now. More on this very soon…I will try and keep updates coming from now on.

Still recording?

I thought they were in the mixing process!

Me too.

They seem to be going backwards with this.  Nothing spontaneous or fresh going to happen in this album once again.  Everyone else seems to record an album in a few weeks! 

I'd like to see a few long tracks on this with extended solos as would normally have been played live since Mark won't be touring to promote it.  It's been a long time since we had one even on an album.

How can they possibly maintain inspiration and "artistic flow" over such a long period? Unless they're working on a grand concept album that is going to be Mark's magnum opus of sorts. Yeah, right  ::)  I'm sure it's going to sound fantastic, but I take an inspired recording over great production anytime. Mark is probably writing material for his next album by now LOL

Wag the Dog and Metroland soundtracks both released in-between though.  Also I don't think he was in the studio so long.

The strangest thing is that actual recording with actual musicians takes... Hours, probably. There are usually just a few band sessions and a lot of songs are recorded in a single take, and the first and the only take makes it to the record. So it naturally raises a lot of questions about what exactly takes so long. But MK is a "Slow Learner".

I'm 100% sure all the latest news in the world inspired MK to write a lot more, and that's what news is all about I think.

It'll be a nice cheery album then.   :lol

GF:

we are still recording, that makes sense but I’m not aware of any date or strategy for scheduled release. We are indeed recording additional songs, this week in fact.

Did you see the question that someone asked about Guy’s fave MK song? He gave his standard answer of saying not really but a couple on the new album are really good.

His favourites are always on the next album!
Although I vaguely recall him saying “Behind With The Rent” is a favourite-great choice.

That's because he totally changed the song from what MK wrote in the beginning, musically speaking.

I wonder what Guy will answer Michael's question:

Does this extra recording mean we're going to get something like a double album (or at least a meatier one!) or is Mark thinking some previously recorded tracks might be jettisoned?

No surprising answer :)

Right now, I have no idea.
