A lot of Guy Fletcher in here I would say

[Leprechaun]

What a fresh new sound from MK. Haven't expected that. like it very much. Interesting song  structure, nice electric guitar licks in the back and what a groove. MK mixing rock, jazz and funk.... I'm thinking how this one would  Sound live on stage....

So much Guy in some songs that he can easily gain a songwriter credit. But Mark get over it by giving him producer rights

Thank you very much, it's quite an unexpected song, I guess I'll have to listen quite a bit to let it grow on me...

Please come back to discuss it.

[Julie72]

Please come back to discuss it.

To be honest, I'm a little bit disappointed... I find the drums quite painful, but I'm biased, I never really liked Ian Thomas. Too monolithic. I will always regret Pick Withers, he was the best one for Marks songs, I think 

The sound is also a little bit "messy", but it's maybe the MP3 file, it would be safer to wait for the lossless version.

I think it will grow on you Julie72. But I do agree that it sometimes sounds a little messy. But groovy at the same time.
You also hear Danny Cummings on percussion, MK didn't use real percussion for a while. That could also feel different to you.
By the way, Danny was my favorite drummer, so clean and crispy, for me at least. But as always, tastes differs.
Thanks for your feedback, hope to see you more often here in the future.

Funny.

I will wait for the album to be out.

I’m listening to the 16/44 FLAC file which is CD quality. I also think it sounds a bit messy, with very little stereo spread. Also Mark's vocals are a bit buried and can be difficult to make out (well done to whoever published the full lyrics!). Although in theory what I purchased should be the same sound quality as what we will eventually hear on the album, I’m wondering if that’s really the case - Mark and Guy usually take a lot of care over sound.

On another matter, the song itself is growing on me with each listen, though it still feels a bit like several different songs - the intro not very connected to the main song, the drum break in the middle which is very unKnopflerish. The funky beat drives the whole thing along pretty effectively though.

Nice guitar job, but why this awful sax ?
Nigel can do miracles (like on Wherever I Go in live where sax was responding to the guitar), definitely not on that track.

This song should have been a bonus track, not a single.

[Adz]

It definitely grows on you the more you play it, and there’s so much going on, so many layers. There seems to be an underlying folkie layer in there, which is probably a synth, but McGoldrick and McClusker could happily play it live. Those soul singers, too. The ideas that they’ve put in this song... Very impressive.

Very interesting song a bit of everything in there.Enough guitar to keep me interested.Weird middle part and comes to an abrupt end.Wonder if he is referring to anyone in particular or just a fictional character .Certainly listenable and very enjoyable has a bit of a demo half finished element to it as well.Looking forward to the album for sure and subsequent tour.Looking at the local hero dates i suppose the tour would start around May time.
