MARK KNOPFLER - NEW ALBUM PRIVATEERING 'SPOILER' itunes

[Jackal]

Just bad grammar, I guess: "I used to be able to"?

[Fletch]

I'm listening to Privateering from the Lille concert now. I like it a lot, a sort of Mans Too Strong music vibe, good lyrics and a whimsical theme.

Get Lucky was a mixed bag for me (as all his solo works is to me really) - I can easily skip half the tracks and whole heatedly listen to others. So I guess with 20 songs, I might get a whole 10 songs I'll like!

TK still in bed obviously

TK doest works at MK management or the record company, is a fan that has his own work and at the same time runs the official MKNEWS site, so I guess that as soon as his work allows him to do it, he will update his site.

[Love Expresso]

Oh yeah.

It's Whit Monday today and that's a bank holiday in Germany of course, I learned that it isn't in England. So I am SO sorry and of course Mr. Kilburn will
update his "Fan" site as soon as he will get to it...

Too bad that even the "Official" site http://www.markknopfler.com/ isn't up to date! Good thing we have AMIT!

Question: A double album, that's pretty amazing. It will be well worth the wait! Would you say the album is a "regular album but twice as long", or is it more of a "concept album"?

Guy: It's a double album

The news in the official site comes from MKNEWS as well.

My first impulse was "typcial Guy answer - so short" , but he is right - a double album has not automatically to be a concept album - it is just an album that provides music from the same artistic background/idea/intention - and when 79 minutes on a CD offer not enough space - well, then you have to put in onto 2 CDS. So it is one ALBUM in the artistic meaning of the word, but physically it is two CDs. Hope this makes sense...

I'd rather have a 38 minute album with killer songs, than a 150 minute 2 CD album with a hodge podge of good and bad. Sorry, but even Mark can't fill two CDs with great songs. Unless he's going in a certain direction with the album, it's very difficult to sustain the attention. We'll see.

[Jules]

Actually I am waiting for the news in MKNEWS more for the special edition of the record... Nobody had provide with information yet...

And the collaboration list of the songs. Kim wilson, Botti, Ruth or maybe more.

pretty convinced mark will wrong you there amigo! 

[Jackal]

We'll see, vato! I struggle with Get Lucky. And that's one CD. But I'm absolutely happy to be positively surprised
