Back into the Studio very soon

One can only imagine how tough it might be for Guy to be kept working on these projects for SO long. It seems to be a pretty hermetic, not to say klaustrophobic matter to be alone there with Mark most of the time. Of course working on a Musical with so many people involved is pretty demanding and new to them. But Boy they could have made two regular solo albums in that amount of time.. to he honest, I hope for the best but expect the worst... Do you really think that this over long time frame will result in an album where you really can say that it was worth the wait?

I can imagine that the unusually long time for a project is not only very tiring for us but also for MK/GF.
I remember MK stating that this dragging process is a reason MK isn't that fond of writing/recording soundtracks.
I think MK would have declined the idea of a musical involvment if it hadn't been about his most successful soundtrack.
On the other hand, the challenge of composing a musical is a new one for him and as a creative artist he might want to try his hand on such a work of art, too.

[Love Expresso]

Agree.

I remember many members saying over the last couple of years (myself included), that they would prefer MK breaking out of the then usual 2-year-schedule and take more time for an album and come up with a real gem or classic. Here's some hope that the got deeper into song exploration than usually.

I secretly hope that this paralyzingly long time between his last album & tour and this one will motivate him to speed up things with future projects once this upcoming tour is over.

Unusually long? There were 6 years between Brothers in Arms and On Every Street, and 5 years between that and Golden Heart.

The long periods are fine with me. I have no lack of music to listen to (be it Mark's or someone else's), and I'm super glad that when he does come out with something, it's always good IMO.

He took a year to rest, until September 2016 that went back to the studio to work in the musical, and in parallel, when the musical gave them free spots, in the next solo album.

I said that it was a very productive period except for the 2015-2016 year...

Yes, into the songs for the musical, LOL

Sorry for the joke, I remember you don't like the idea of the musical, that seems is keeping MK very busy since quite a long and will keep him busy until next year when it's premiered.

I'm on LE's team, I think this musical is an energy and time drainer.

Never liked musicals, but am happy to be proven wrong by Mr. Knopfler

I don't discard that possibility. I might love it.

Same here. There's not much in the world that I generally hate more than musicals, but there's also not much that I love more than MK.

I don't like musicals either, but I have booked my seat at Edinburgh and I am hoping for the best.   It will be interesting to see how LH transfers to the stage in any case.

I'm interested in anything Mark produces with the level of excitment varying according to the product. Normally a new album hits 10 out of 10 in my scale but the delay has lowered it quite a bit. As for the musical it's sitting at about 3, just like it was when I first heard about it. Still Mark though so the excitment is there and I'm more than happy to be pleasantly surprised if that's the case.

Go and see Chicago.

Go and see Chicago.

Has MK any involvement in it?

It is good enough to avoid the need of any MK flavour inside.
