(10) Beryl (3:10)

[JeroenvG]

Jeroen, nice cover. How does one get that? If I download a track on amazon.de for example, I will never get a cover with the track?

LE

Got it from the record company.

For those interested, the single is available on the french iTunes Store (I imagine it's true for the other european countries too). Along with the prerelease announcement for the standard and Deluxe versions. Release date : March 16th.

I had hoped "Beryl" would also be released on a good old compact disc to put into your collection but apparently this isn't so 

[Simon]

This is going to be one of those songs that you cant get out of your head. Its a lovely song, simple but refreshing. Its very clever, very Mark and also very Kill To Get Crimson as well as MKs vocals being very heavily processed which also makes him sound a semi-tone (or more) higher than of late. Not sure he could replicate that on stage without 'assistance'. Lots of similar riffs from the past in it but no complaints other than the processing element .

That's the advantage of being the first. Well done, foma. Thank you...

Yes agree there, I've just sung the uncut version around our local supermarket!

I like the song too.  It reminds me somewhat of the older DS stuff, with the constant Strat/vocal interplay.  Not the retro keyboard sound though.

The hook sounds a lot like something from Wag the Dog, I just can't quite put my finger on it...

Parts of it sound rather like a faster version of "Stretchin' Out"  from Wag The Dog to me.

It was going on in my head after only one play!   

[K-alberto]

Don't you think of the "In the gallery" theme?

"I've got to say he passed away in obscurity
And now all the vultures are coming down from the tree
So he's going to be in the gallery"

Interesting subject...

Where's the uncut version? Is it the vevo link that was posted on the official MK FB site today? If so, I hear no difference 

[Guitarman1972]

I hate the Marketing strategy of record companies! Why o why couldn't they have released tracks 16 en 17 on the deluxe CD version?   

Wy not a Super deluxe 3 CD box version with all the tracks and the interview CD? Now people have to pay for vinyl, for which they might not even have a turntable. Neither do some care about the visual Arts/Prints.


16. Time Will End All Sorrow
17. Oklahoma Ponies (traditional melody, lyrics and arrangement by Mark Knopfler)

The cut version has the intro missing - for Radio only...

One play of it and I had to get one of the MK's out to start working on the guitar work of this song.... thanks to foma for chord info....
