I just thought of a heretic explanation of the title"Privateering".
It is a double CD so that means extra cost, so it is looting, from the company side, after all!
I am just kidding. The price at Play.com is 16.49 so almost the cost of a single CD. (at least that was the cost of GL when it first hit the shops.)
Superval, I think that my cup is already dry. Don't see things half - full or half - empty. I see them empty. It is not a pessimistic opinion, it is reality. They just turn people and nations against each other, while at the same time do whatever they wish with the environment, food education and health, that in the first place should be easier to get with the new technologies, but alas, they are harder. Just imagine what expectations we all had of the internet, and what has become of it. At times I even tend to believe that music lovers (like us) are given such treats not only for fan and enjoyment, but also to keep us sedated. And as Voltaire said, I may not agree with your opinion, but I will defend to the death your right to express it.
And back on the subject. It is really hard to raise my expectations as high as I used to (when I was 13 and first heard DS). But MK is a fixation. His vocals, his guitar licks, etc. Sometimes I try to look from "outside" not as a fan, but as a casual listener, and the only thing I can say, is that I have been listening to some of MK's albums far less than other albums from contemporary artists, like Darren Hayman, Belle and Sebastian, Tindersticks, Coral etc.(Unfortunately not so much the Dandy Warhols, that he actually contributed ) But I am not going to fall into the speculation orbit. I can and will wait until the release. After all, repeated plays, several years after can make the difference and I would hate to change my mind and admit it here, again. (wink-wink)
