Tracker's sound so lifeless and thin. Drums sounds like a childs drum kıt. Has a good songs yes, but sounds badly. Not a sonic way of course. Tastes are different of course.

It doesn't sound thin and lifeless to me, or I wouldn't have been listening for three years!   

İt's Mark Knopfler record after all. Still better nowadays %90.

[Love Expresso]

I don't hate it. It's a nice song.

But in comparation with the rest of record, doesn't say anything to me at least musically. Actually I would had put it between the bonus, after listening to all songs.

I agree abdolutely. Both BOTDF and GOYS are at the moment among the weakest tracks for me.

Funny thing.. In the liner notes there are the numbers of every song at each Player and Richard played exactly the line of songs I listen to all the time in exactly that line ...5-7-8-9-10-11-13... that's the heart of the album for me.

The deluxe edition is papercard slipbox. The standard Edition is jewelcase case. The liner notes are pretty short and je usual thank you's. First time that they are not signed with "MK" but with "Mark"
(Yes I am a sucker for these little details..  )

This sounds daring as Tracker seemed to be praised and decorated especially for it's extremely good sound. I would assume you have a minority opinion here!

Yes i know that's why i wrote not sonicly. İ mean sounds of the instruments. Slide guitars, drums...

I respect ever other opinion for sure.

[Love Expresso]

Ok now I understand. Sorry. That has indeed more to do with taste. Each to his own indeed. I like the drums on that record. But on the new one I like them even more!

I agree that the slide guiatr on tracker si too much thin. It lacks some warmness and roundness. both are present on the new record

[Robson]

Number one

[Jules]

Number one

There can be only one number one ... You know.

[Robson]

There are several for me.

[Jules]

There are several for me.

Did you studied Maths?

There's a number one, then next, the number two and go on.

[Robson]

Can I have several? Thank you

[Love Expresso]

Jbaent you cannot argue with humour I guesd.. 

There have been more senseless posts over the years me thinks.

Well, I didn't read the forum for a day or two and dealing with many posts that only said "number one" again and again and again. It was funny until the third time... After 19 number ones I thought someone forgot it's maths...

I think it's about gambling clubs.   

Me, too. I read that "smokeless" is an US expression. So maybe Las Vegas indeed?

LE

I don't see any relation to Las Vegas or gambling at all.   A smokeless .41 is referring to a 41 caliber pistol.   There is smokeless ammunition available.  For example,    https://www.buffaloarms.com/41-long-colt-ultramax-200-grain-cowboy-smokeless-ammo-box-of-50-amou41lc2

[Love Expresso]

Yes but the expression "smokeless"  for guns is an US expression only .. therefore .. US .... therefore Las Vegas possible ...
