Perhaps jan 26 as a release date. No confirmation from Guy of course. The question with link was posted on his website a few days ago...

I think we're all getting a little impatient now and it's leading to all sorts of "grasping at straws."  We must look at the facts:

zero promotion
no TV or radio appearances/shows/performances by Mark and the band
no sample tracks
no leaks (we always get leaks)!

Management probably won't work over the Christmas/new year period to organise promos so personally, I think it will be March at the earliest.

Does promotion and tv stuff not always start around the same time or short after a new album comes out. If that is the case than its normal that we will know nothing for any promotion activities at this time. But i also think it will be later. Some official news probably in jan with a releasedate late feb or somewhere in march.....

[Dutchessy]

It must appear on some pre order sites soon i guess. Like amazon and Itunes for example. Including tracklist and let's hope for samples.

Try to buy tickets specially in any seated venue and look how many seats are available... then you get the idea.

He's so moody on the forum I don't know why he bothers anymore. Quite unpleasant to read so many genuine fans being dismissed in such a graceless manner.

Exactly.

Also he does everything to show his distance to MK and the Tracker recordings - just read the tracker-related questions the last few months.. as if it is unpleasant to him to be connected with him. Also his answers referring tour dates (I have no interest/no clue/I don't care) are totally impausible to me.
But it's just me.
No, no need to send him any question at the moment.

I have more the impression that he expresses his distance to all the management related topics (tour dates / album release /number of tracks), and not his distance to the album and to MK. Must be a dilemma. I'm sure that he wants to talk more about the album and to give us the information, but before the official announcements he can't do that. Might be that this defensive position leads to harsh formulations.

Yes I think so too Yontwocrows because I asked him a question about RAH, then I said that it must be difficult for him to answer everyday to the same questions about Tracker and he answered me that he felt frustrated!! I believe that he was honest!!

[superval99]

I think Guy is very loyal to Mark.   He has stated many times on his forum that he is frustrated at not being able to divulge any information about release and tour dates. I'm sure he would tell us if he was allowed to.
