Your Perfect Album....create your own 12 song album from the ODR sessions

[Nick14]

Realised you literally picked all you have heard so far! Ha! Fair enough. If you're not cutting what I'm gonna need you're not cutting anything.

[Nick14]

OK, I'm changing the rules. For anyone interested the challenge is now to compile an album from the 25 songs we have from the sessions. A single album, so a max of say 14 songs. I'll need to take some time bow I've heard The Boy! But what a gift. 25 new songs from Mark, every single one is interesting and imaginative. Quite remarkable.

After several listens this is my definitive list of favorites:

  1. Two Pairs Of Hands
  2. Ahead Of The Game
  3. All Comers
  4. Scavengers Yard
  5. The Living End
  6. Dolly Shop Man
  7. Janine
  8. Before My Train Comes
  9. Tunnel 13
10. One Deep River

I just can't do that for 12 songs.  Maybe I exaggerate but to me these songs sound like a Greatest Hits!

Thanks, interesting, I'm nearing the point of naming my favourites soon, after about a dozen or more listens to all 25 songs. What is also interesting to me is that 5, perhaps 6  of your favourite 10 will not be amongst my favourite 14. Which us testament to the remarkable quality and variety of all 25 songs.

And this is what unites us MK fans, the variety and beauty of his songs.
