New for 2022

[Kris-b]

Maybe the fun they had made Mark wanting to spend more time with his fellow musicians and plan for some concerts!
That would be a dream!

That's my hope too.

After waiting sooo long for new music a double album would be just GREAT!

Quality over quantity for me please.

Totally. I know some fans would be happy to have 12 CDs of Mark reading the phone directory at half speed. I'm not one of them.

A double album would be great, Mark's songs are always quality. If I remember there was talk that Privateering could have been a triple album!! I suppose with the bonus tracks it's a 2 1/2 album.  I imagine Mark has a huge backlog of songs, as he must have written many over lockdown. He might have some he could give to other artists too.

Or maybe he can release one record in 2023, and other later the same year, or next, we don't know if all songs recorded are for one record, or to have songs ready to release in a future.

Richard's impression can also deceive.
Normally they have more than just one recording session for an album. So this session was special and compressed.
Also we have to keep in mind that they recorded more than twice as much songs for Privateering than were later released.
As much as I would love a double album, it could just be a normal album with several bonus tracks for deluxe editions/boxsets and maybe one or two contributions for other artists or projects.

What I really hope is MK enjoyed being with them so much than he wants to play some gigs live with them in the future!

[Robson]

And that is the best thought for the future.

I am sure you are right here.
I think the same, because this is a fact.
As Mark said in 2019. He might continue until he falls over

I'll take everything that's going at this stage. Let's face facts, it's unlikely he's going to be making music for too much longer...

Yes, I agree with you. I think that there are at least one or two records more after this one, but I'm not sure if they will be of new recorded material, or from previously recorded songs, from this session or even before.

[qjamesfloyd]

I am not sure I agree with that, I think there is more chance of new songs than new tours going forward, which is fine by me.

[dmg]

...recording loads of new music...

It’s really a miracle we put so many songs in the can...

Double album?

Or a can?  What sort of player do we need for that?
