8 songs mixed so far according to Guy

So now I'm wondering how many are going onto the album...  :think

I wouldn't like too many because that would mean they are all short in length.  Eight would be about right for me I think, with the others as bonuses.

Yesterday Guy said:

Yes, Mark and I are in Studio 2, we're over half way through the mixing process. It's all sounding great.

Based upon this new info regarding 8 songs already mixed and over half done, I estimate there will be around 12 songs on the album.....with 2 or 3 bonus songs for the deluxe!

    Great news!!

Now I feel good about the album;  if it gets Guys seal of approval then it must be good.

I hope the new album has got the sound of Shangri-La. By far my favorite album.

Yes I agree, Shangri-la is a superb Album and probably played the most but then so is Get Lucky....

Track 1 to 5: Awesome music! Real album feel and total sound and atmosphere experience!
Track 6 to the end: MK decided to put any energy away and tries to test out how long it takes for the listener to fall asleep..

The recording of Song For Sonny Liston and Donegan's Gone are fabulous, but I never listen to that album as a whole. But the first 5 tracks.. love them!

And Shangri-La has the ugliest album cover by far! The idea is great, but the colours, the painting style - awful!

Just my opinion!

Oh, ok yes I actually hate Romeo & Juliet and So far away!

Hey Mark wrote a lot of the stuff on Shangri-La during his treatment after an accident, so he'd probalby wrote some of the songs literally lying in bed or staying at home anyway. So he probably wrote tracks 6-14 while he was lying on the bed, and then he wrote tracks 1-5 and, to celebrate his healing he recorded it in this paradisiacal recording studio. To me The Ragpicker's Dream and following Shangri-La are the best MK albums so far.

By terms of strong songs, which doesn't lose any details even being played on one acoustic guitar it's my all time favourite. You can play

I would agree with 5:15 am. I think from all his solo career sincen 1996, this song belongs to the top5, together with SAN, WII and STP. And Long Highway.

I love most of Shangri-La.  It is probably my favourite album along with RPD.  Everybody Pays is wonderful, but these days Donegan has become a skipper for me, probably because of overplay, but really the whole album is one of MKs best!

I like 1 t/m 7 and 10 from Shangri-la. I've listened the album last week in the car a couple of times. It's already 10 years since the release. Time flies....

I like the overall sound on Shangri-la
the album starts on top imho,  til the middle, but as we go through the end, I find the quality (at least for my taste) is decreasing, and I must admit that after Postcards, it lacks interest (for me)

Same opinion here, the last songs on Shangrila are so boring to me that I rarely listen to them, I always stop the cd when it arrives to Sonny Liston, I sometimes depending on the mood listen to Whoop de doo, but its rare that I go further.
You might get lucky, now and then
