Hey guys, Former Dire Straits frontman and established solo artist Mark Knopfler has a new album dropping on the 16th - but for some reason I was able to get a copy of it today from the place where I get my digital music. Oops! This is the only song that's been publically released before the album was; about sci-fi author Beryl Bainbridge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1mUOnwi-68 I'm having a listen through at the moment and I'll post up some impressions when I'm done. His previous albums Get Lucky, Sailing to Philadelphia and Kill to Get Crimson are also very, very good and the full albums are on YouTube if you want to have a listen.

Wengy posted:I loving love Mark Knopfler's stuff and buy everything he does sight unseen (or rather sound unheard heh). The new one is pretty good, but a bit too downtempo and ponderous for my taste; I quite prefer "Privateering". Yea I'm not sure what to make of this one. Beryl is clearly the hook track, but it's almost the highpoint in terms of the Knopfler sound on the album as well. Seriously you could have cut about five tracks from this album and I'm not sure I would have noticed. Privateering certainly grows on you and Get Lucky was great right from the first listen, but Tracker doesn't seem to have the same depth to it.
