LOL who put the Kill To Get Crimson in his Solo discography? :D

Maybe Mark disowned it! ;D

If only it was so easy to erase Kill to get crimson from our collective memories.

Bahhh! Time is the healer and second hand record shops the proof. I find all MK CDs with the same regularity, so KTGC is not considered bad from fans. Or maybe they just destroy it?  ::)

Yes, but  those who did buy it, they bought it several times believing that they had a defective copy...

I love KTGC...   :wave
For me, it is full of beautiful songs: Madame Geneva's, Heart Full Of Holes, In The Sky, The Scaffolder's Wife, Let It All Go, We Can Get Wild...

"Heart Full Of Holes" is strange and beautiful at the same time.

OK, Rollergirl some years ago convinced me that it is a fine album and I should give it another try. I spent about a week with this constantly on my player. The voice was there the guitar was there and I was almost thrilled to discover a new favourite album. Alas, the number of times I listened to it after that period can be counted on the fingers of my one hand even if I missed a couple of fingers...
Maybe it has something to do with MK producing fresh work, or my family growing, or with so many great musicians being discovered ( Mona Dee has some great suggestions) or maybe because I have grown and listened to it in the wrong time, but yes it still is the album I listen to rarely. Calling it bad would sound to "objective" so I will only call it my least favourite.  ;)

Dear vgonis,

please listen to the "Scaffolder's Wife" or "Madame Geneva", for example. Classic MK storytelling. And the - at first sight - dull "True Love Will Never Fade" is rescued by the strange but mellow guitar. It's a quiet album, I find myself listening to it during autumn and winter. Perhaps it was the time when his new studio played the major role and not the guitar.
But I'm strange sometimes, so for example I'd like to listen to  "All The Roadrunning" without EH.....It's all down to personal taste, I suppose.

Justme, I know it is a matter of mood and taste. I like it as I like any MK work, (somehow) but I guess not being in the mood to listen to it after so long just proves I am not listening to it!  ;D
