New for 2024

[ds1984]

A Night In Summer Long Ago first single? I did not know.

I know! I remember Mark talking somewhere about not being used to record company interference....

I find this statement a bit innocent from Mark Knopfler.
Or maybe he just though he had more powerl than he actually had.

Dire Straits was the brand, not Mark Knopfler.

BTW did Ed Bicknell publicly expressed his view about the album?

GF:

We are still mixing Mark’s album


But GF's answer of "of course" adds to the hope that the new album will be released this year.

Thanks jbaent

Came across this while searching for Jim Cox….

Look at the latest credit. Album title perhaps?

If I remember correctly, someone made a mix for Valentine's Day. There is also an album cover

[MagicElliott]

Yes, I tried to do some research and this came up.
Apologies for this.

Feel free to delete my post.

Nah, leave it in. Streaming only release.

Dmac:

"Any progress on the new album? Do you think we will have it this year...?


I am very curious to see what Guy Fletcher's response will be.

[Robson]

GF:

As far as Mark’s album is going, we are halfway through mixing but Mark is away filming at the moment, with a certain Brian Johnson.

[Kris-b]

So more patience required!

Everything that crops up seems to come first and take priority over the new album which appears to have been simmering away on the back burner for about a decade now.  He barely seems interested in it for some reason!

[cannibals]

He does not have to go on tour to support the album. He can release with whenever he feels like it. You can bet it will be next year. It will take some time to do this tv thing with Brian Johnson. in the summer they also have some time off like always. Mixing is a long proces....

[cannibals]

There is no pressure to release it i think. Normal a tour is planned after release... At some point they have a deadline but clearly no stress on this new album.....

Yeah, they work slower than a tortoise on opioids.

[Robson]

Guy Fletcher is working on Atmos versions at the same time.

I think we're in for a double album of high-octane, ass-kicking Rock'n'Roll.


Said no-one.
