You've got me curious Jbaent, but I don't want to like this so I don't think I'll give it a listen.  Or will I...  :hmm

Go on, be a devil!    ;D

 :lol

AC on his ego trip trying to prove he's the brains behind DS?  I don't think so.

I'll tell you something... there are songs written by Alan, some by Phil, others by Alan, Phil and Marco. I was listening to it in my car without any info on who wrote wich song and when I received the physycal cd I was surprised because the best songs from the record  (at least to me) where written by Alan alone...

In concrete Jesus Street, Magdalene and Two days Off... there are some other quite good, but it's true that you te to listen to it without prejudice, if you do it with it, you are not going to enjoy it.

I agree that "Magdalene" and "Jesus Street" are good enough songs to bear at least some of the awkward lyrics and synth slush. But the rest ...

Does anybody think the music is good enough that we would have found it if it hadn't been ex DS people doing it?

I'm curious as to where the market is for this stuff. I know they were doing promo in Italy - will the Italians just by anything DS related?!

They will. And as for your question above: Of course not.

I always ask myself the same about MK solo records... Would I had bought and even listen more than once, let's say, Tracker, if it was a record of another artist that wasn't the voice, guitar and composer of Dire Straits?

I know the answer...

We are talking here about theirs record with songs by themselves, not about their DS tribute band...

However, I can't understand any single word because of the Brazilian translation...

It still amazes me that there are people bothering Guy with this again and again, and trying to put people like Danny Cummings in the spotlight... As if Guy and MK doesn't know that Danny and even John had played with these guys... What's the deal bothering Guy again and again with something they already know?

Boring

Okay, given in!  Bounty Hunter and the title track I like a lot.  Apart from that it is not really that good and sounds more like someone trying to imitate the sound of DS than someone who created the sound of DS.

Yes, i would.

MK has been making solo albums for more than 20 years. They have all (except one) made the UK top ten.

His solo tours are still very popular, with some shows selling out more than 10,000... DESPITE the fact that there is little to no DS content anymore.

MK's solo work stands on it's own two feet, he's doing just fine without the Legacy guys, despite their protestation that they were responsible for the success of DS...
