Do you listen to Tracker anymore ?

[TJ]

So reading the last number of posts it seems a lot of people are merely using the album to listen to "in the car" and/or "while travelling to work."  Is this really the making of a cracking album?   

If that's when people have time to listen, then yes.  I almost never get to listen to music at home, always in the car or while running/walking.  I don't think you can judge an album based on when/where people listen to it.

I am almost never at home so have to listen in the car

Yeah, funny it is - I also use to listen in the car. It is just because it is practical. Outside a car is the another world my god! "Ain't to many places left to run"- you know what I mean-it's not as like as in baloney again but is about.
Yeah I'm listening daily on my way to the work and back home. I just have no time for another music. When I get fill of tracker I will take the next round of all of Mark music from the 1978... And then I think I would be feeling "I can't wait when I'll get to Tracker again"! I used to like different other musics few years ago but now It is DS and Mark. I can't say how long would late but it is great for now...
 I saw Sorry River Towns is not popular for many but for me (at least at this moment) is one of the best of the Album...
Also I like Smokes, Basil and Beryl more than the others.
Regards.

I don't listen to Tracker on the way to work for the simple reason, that I work just a stone's throw from my home, literally next door

For me, River Towns is in the top four (with Mighty Man, LCG and Basil).  But I really love them all!!!!

River Town is my favorite in this album. It reminded me of another song from which album and song. I couldn't recall. Can someone help?

I tend to listen to Tracker when I'm at home, and most of the time the music is in the background, and it's played as a whole record. I rarely play the songs apart from each other. I agree with Pottel about the bonus songs, they get the most playtime in the holaknopfler house Still my opinion hasn't changed that much, it's a great record.

Hardly ever. For me it's MK's most forgetable album.

I think Tracker is a like a big luxurious Mercedes. Mark is so good at what he does now that he can make that refinement seem boring, no raw edges. But I don't believe that. I play Tracker from one end to the other, and I'm always discovering new things I haven't heard before. It's an incredible piece of work.
