This whole secrecy bullshine is very immature. Illusions of past grandeurs I’m afraid. Few people outside of this MK community give a damn about a new MK record. I don’t get it. Just say what’s happening. If it was a new DS record then I might get it, even these days most people wouldn’t care. That ship has sailed.

Have to agree with this. From a marketing point of view, it would be much better to wet people's appetite with continued info on the progress (even if it's slow). Just saying: "There'll be an album", and then nothing more, won't help selling the album when it actually arrives. Speaking of which, that's the only point where I disagree: There's actually quite a lot of people who give a damn about new music from MK. Sales won't be anything close to DS days, but 99% percent of all artists can only dream of selling as much as Mark still does.

In the end it doesn't matter. Mark doesn't need the money, and whoever really wants his music will get it when it's ready. It's just annoying to see such an outstanding artist being supported so poorly on the marketing side.

Oh come on there is no way MK album sales are in the top 1%.
His albums haven't graced the top 100 end of year sales for many a year.
It's a nice thought but detached from reality.

Does the record company schedule the release so that the CD and LP will be released simultaneously?

I wasn't sure at all, it seemed more likely 2024 and finally it has been confirmed.

You don't have to be in the top 100 album charts to be in the lucky 1% of musicians who can make a living writing/recording/playing. Just imagine how much music is being published day by day, worldwide. Most of it doesn't sell AT ALL. Probably every name you can find on Wikipedia is in the the top 5%.

I truly wonder what the reason might be. Just changing the tracklist, as Guy Fletcher suggests in his Q&A, can't be the only reason.

It doesn't say that. It says "Mark’s next solo album will not be scheduled for release in 2023."


So it could be ... whenever.
