Title: Album leak?
Post by: Rail King on August 03, 2012, 10:03:59 AM
Don't you think it's about time for an album leak now? Don't fear, I'll buy the album and everything (the Deluxe set looks fantastic), but I just can't wait anymore. So let's search the web for a bit and hope we get lucky.

There must be one soon. Once the CDs are printed, there's no way of controlling it.

And for an album called "Privateering", a bit of piracy is only appropriate, isn't it?  ;)

I was thinking about it yesterday...

We are very very close to the release date in Germany (and other lucky countries), a month from the general release, a day more of waiting in Spain, and no leak yet...

We've already heard a few songs live and one whole studio, not to mention extracts from all the songs on iTunes so maybe this all adds up to a lack of demand for a leak;  it's been drip fed to us already.  No demand  except from us, of course!

I got GH one full month the same way. And I loooooved that so much that I did a K7 and played it in my car windows full open. Some did people in the street did heard the album without realising what they were actualy listening. 8)
Internet leaks are not that exciting because everybody can have it.

Depends on the record company and promoter.

However, those streaming audio files are watermarked so you can't download and spread them.

Do you not think it is a bit of a coincidence that it was removed 2 hours after Jbaent pointed it out here. I know of a big formula 1 team who look at ebay for pit crew clothing and other insider stuff to make sure its not being sold on. I also know they have succesfully sacked employees for doing it.

Back in 2004 I was in London, for a photo session and of course I went to 20 record stores and I found the Shangri La promo, around the 15th of August.So it is not so unusual if you consider that the send day is the 31st. I have even found promos (with watermark) in Greece, very near the actual release date.
Title: Re: Album leak?
Post by: holaknopfler on August 10, 2012, 09:10:14 PM
What is so special about that watermark? Can somebody tell a bit more about that? :)
Title: Re: Album leak?
Post by: vgonis on August 10, 2012, 09:31:31 PM
Generally an audio watermark is usually a way to prevent advance promo copies to leak. Some companies do it by clipping music or putting a voice over saying "Property of ...".  But the latest watermarks are more sinister. You get the music and there is a unique signal with info hidden in the tracks that can be heard from specific machines. So if they trace a leak they can spot from which exact promo CD it came. The journalist who was the original owner, is banned from further promos. Of course you can find many such promos after the day of release, and I don't even think that the companies care after the release.
How and why do you know about a watermark on a CD? The law does not allow any company to use such tactics that can incriminate you, at least not without your knowledge. So every promo containing a watermark, simply Has to state that it does.

Did I tell it was right? I said its illegal and it is.

My point is why someone has to act like a squealer in front of anyone involved with MK.

The fact that it doesnt really harm anyone to do that doesnt mean its right, it just mean it doesnt hurt anyone.

Its the squealing think what piss me off.

I think, this person just want to be fair and help mk to sell his new album. If I understand it correctly, he wrote to Guy , because this promo was to be sold before the release...

But in the last weeks we could read now and then, that people were writing to Guy " not to be published for forum " , like this time, but Guy still posted. What do you think about it ? Maybe he posted it because he doesn`t want to get so much "private" mails ?? An email to the "private writer" would do it  too, I think..

Again, I mention that MK management or the Record Company has someone chasing that, so to act like a squealer is pointless, besides being cool in front of everybody.

And what piss me off more of these squealers is the sensation of being spied by someone that looks to be cool in front of Guy, MK, the band etc etc. Its not the first time that these squealers use what we talk here to look cool in the Guy forum, and I dislike a lot that behaviours...

Post by: vgonis on August 12, 2012, 06:58:38 PM
jbaent,I totally agree and understand what you say. Even though it is illegal, it is not completely wrong. The only reason they want to hold back these promos is the spreading of the songs, before the release date. And that only to add to the anticipation of the buyer (and actually not knowing what he is going to buy. And don't judge from us, We are the most devoted fans, that would buy almost anything with the MK stamp on.)  Everyone thinking that it has to do with torrents and lost sales, it is just a silly excuse.Those guys would upload and download everything just for the heck of it.
You have to get into a collectors mind to understand what jbaent is saying. Promos are send to hundreds of people that can actually influence the public. Some of them are collectors themselves or fans of the musician. So what goes out to the rest of us are the promos from the  "just take space in my house" journalists and PR men. They sell it on high street and some of them end up on ebay. And then to us MK lunatics, that believe that having something that is uncommon and rare (even if it is only the format), makes us keener fans and give us joy. (yes that is lunacy, but we are still allowed in the society)  ;)

It is not about cool, it is about not understanding that there is no actual harm in doing so. It is illegal to spit or pi on high street, but if the nearest rest room is far you will do it without thinking twice. Illegal yes, wrong hardly.

Exactly. And I would have done the same. It is just morally wrong to take advantage of your profession (i.e. being a journalist) that way. Imagine you are an engineer or something, and you get hold of some plans of a really cool invention or something, would you sell the blueprint on ebay before it's made public? If I was your colleague, I would tell your boss.

What annoys me is that nowadays people consider it as natural that stuff is easily available on the internet and you can just download anything you want or buy it on ebay.
Same with bootlegs. I remember 13 years ago, I got tapes (!) and CDR's from all around the world, and sent out stuff all around the world. It was really exciting. Now, you just log into dime and download anything you want.

Just to make clear things...

It the album gets leaked, that is something most of us are waiting for... we must NOT say it here, because someone will go and squeal that to Guy, PCM etc etc?

We all know it wont harm anyone because we are all gonna buy the record anyway, but its wrong...

And anyway we will download it...

Did anyone get the point about the hyprocrisy?

Well, forgive me about all this stuff, maybe I had a bad day, and the squeale thing made me right all this idiotic stuff.

Beg your pardon

That Frank from Switzerland is maybe to blame for this attitude (although I wouldn't go so far), but Guy is also to blame: Frank cleary wrote in his "title of question"  PERSONAL MAIL - Not to be published on the forum and Guy has nothing better to do than post it on the forum.... which gives proof obviously that you hardly can expect from a busy producer/surfer/tea/musician to read the COMPLETE post, not even on a Sunday....  :disbelief :disbelief

Yes, but, why send it to the forum? Guy has an e-mail in his contact section (about / contact)... If you want someone to be private, go private. This is what the contact section says:


Please use the FORUM if you have anything you'd like to ask or comment upon.

Otherwise, if you have something on your mind that's not forum material, you can contact Guy directly by emailing him at

vgonis,  I won`t denounce you if you spit on high street (am not sure if there is a law against that in Germany, maybe you could do it here vgonis  ;) ) but pi ... well , try it, we will see  ;D

The logic behind the law against public spitting was that there was tuberculosis and other contagious diseases 100 years ago, and then someone forgot to annul the law.
Now that such diseases are history (or are they?) we only care for the aesthetics of things.
But I believe it is more logical if you can't hold any longer to go public, than wet yourself and eventually the public place. The problem is how to convince the policeman that it was the last resort.
Toilet talk! 

jbaent you are right about the Squealer. Triviality, though. I guess he is reading this right now and has lost his colour.

Squealer is a fantastic song from AC/DC's Dirty deeds done dirt cheap album. A great album with Bon Scott on vocals. It also has the lovely Ride on. All with exquisite guitar solos. I will listen to it right now.

If you want to contact Guy in private you should not use the forum but his email.
That said this is not very smart to have published it despite the poster asking not to be published.
But it may be unintentionnal from Guy as the no publish request is in the title and not the body of the message, so there is a possibility that Guy actualy did not read it.

This time the leak is taking too long... Could be this the first time we really have the album complete when buying it?

Would be leaked for the most of us on August 31st when our German / Swiss friends get it, and very friendly send us the mp3 to calm the nerves until September 3rd or 4th?

We are so close to the date  :o

Why is everyone waiting for a leak? We discussed this earlier, most of the promos are digital. I know some people at the radio that already had the opportunity to listen to the complete album.
But this was a digital version with a program called play mpe.
The same way I got the single from universal, but no possibility to download the song, I can only listen to it.

So finally no Leak this time, much more excitement for me!

As we saw in ebay two days ago, there are still physycal promo cds being send...

About the digital, any stream can be recorded, the only thing you need is a double jack stereo wire to connect the line out to the line in of your soundcard and then with an audio editor programme, capture the sound...

Why are we waiting for the leak? Many of us are waiting for the new stuff and looking forward to listen to it as soon as we can. Release dates are a commercial thing, if we have the chance to listen to it before, many of us will do, and then, the commercial established date, we will buy it.

the owner started to smile! Knowing how much I admire the music of Mark, he told he had been thinking
about me when he read about the new album and because he knew I would come to order that one!

I hope just like other years, that I will be able to have it in my hands a few days before the official release. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/Fieneke2/Emoticons/band.gif)

Agree, gotta hand it to the management and record company. They are doing an outstanding job this time.

Imagine this. Just before the release of the album you die and end up talking with Peter at the Heaven's gate. You ask Peter: why? Why did God call upon me a week before the release of the new album? Why not a week after? Peter anwers, well you know God's plan and all. It's not to be delayed by a smuck like you. Anyway, if you want to hear music you can sit over there. See those angels with the harps over there? They can play pretty well.
You go like but, but i don't really like harp music. If I were, I would have been collecting Alan Stivell albums instead of Mark Knopfler albums. Then Peter answers: well you beter get used to it. It's all the music we have over here. We want it peaceful and quite over here. If you want to hear rock and roll you have to go down below. To that guy with the horns on his head.

Me, I'll prefer the harp version of "Dream of the Drowned Submariner" over the synth version anyway! :lol And I'm sure Mark will be a genius harp player.

I won't be surprised if I'm the only Brazilian around! Mark's got lots of fans in South America but some don't speak English, others feel neglected by him... However we do have our local forums where we discuss in Portuguese.

Regarding download links, I couldn't agree more but I can't help my curiosity lol

Can't find it now. The file got deactivated yesterday shortly after Mimmo deleted his topic. It leads me to believe that he uploaded the file and deleted it after a few people he trusts managed to download it. I might be wrong, who knows... I'm trying every possible google search wording combo to find it again, can't remember which one I used to find that.

Mimmo has nothing to do with that file, he didnt uploaded anything, just to make it clear.

Actually I have close friends and family living in cities that are in the tour schedule. The big deal is getting to take time off work... I've seen Mark twice, first time in Brazil back in 2001 and then again in NZ when I lived there in 2005. Since then my vacations and Mark's tours never matched. Perhaps this time! Fingers crossed!

No leaks yet?

One curiosity: Alanis Morissette's (which may be considered a mainstream artist, to say the least) latest album - Havoc and bright lights - was apparantly leaked on August 10th, 12 days before its first official release in Japan.

I wonder what "special" measures is Knopfler's Label undertaking so that today, just 7 days before the official release date, there's isn't still one damn leak (sorry for the language).

Note: I already ordered the super deluxe box set on amazon.de but I will certainly try to get it (the leak) even if if it's just one day before the official release.
The anticipation is killing me.  ???

Thankfully i've managed to avoid listening to any of the tracks apart from having heard Privateering,Haul Away and Corned Beef City from the Dylan tour.Decided to try and discipline myself and wait till i have the double cd in my grubby little mitts so i can listen to it in its entirety but it's getting hard trying to avoid temptation the closer it gets to launch date.  ;D ;D. Usually listen to a new cd in the car by myself with the volume turned up loud.Guess im going to be driving around and around for a couple of hours this time with it being a double cd plus the bonus tracks. ;D ;D but i'm sure it will be worth the wait. ;)

Jesus Christ, evertime the "Album leak?" thread turns up after pressing the "new posts"  button, I am close to a heart attack...  :lol

I was able to make a 10 days-break and restrained from listening to the snippets - until this morning. I am sure you will LOVE it! For me, it is the best stuff MK has recorded in years... Somebody said it to the point:   First Dire Straits album   -   Sailing To Philadelphia   -    Privateering!!!   Nothing more to add!

Especially on the second album, from track 1 to 7 is a real great "classic MK run through" - I love it when albums have this, last time I had this was on Shangri-La, from track 1 to 6....

when i get new favourite albums, in this case MK, procedure is always the same ;-)
first i put it on vinyl at home, i would say i have some good loudspeakers and especially a MK album is the deal for this, ...
next day, i put it on the HDD of my lexus car - lexus has the mark levinson system, 15 loudspeakers in the car - this is the best audiosystem in the world - if you have a chance to hear "speedway at nazareth" in a lexus RX or GS450 with the big mark levinson system, you will be in heaven - nothing better.

possible, that the album is here at 30th, ... as amazon.de sometimes delivers bit earlier (i got many blu rays before release from them)

funny thing is, i get my brandnew car exactly on 30 august, so, ... is there a holy force out there ?  ;-)

It is probably his most low-key release yet.  No promotion at all virtually.  How is anyone to know he is releasing an album or indeed going on a tour!  This Dylan tour is obviously a big distraction and may affect both album and ticket sales. :-\

dustyvalentino in what way would it affect sales? Cause I don't really believe it affects sales in anyway. Only thing I could come up with is that people wouldn't buy it cause they think it's a crappy CD. But would they actually buy it normally without listening? I doubt it. Anyway, it's the fans that eagerly want to hear the CD as soon as possible and will buy it anyway to keep their collection complete.

I don't want a leak now.  Surely we can all wait and hear it in it's full stereophonic glory on the day of it's release? ???

Post by: Rail King on August 28, 2012, 10:22:05 PM
Yes, it's a good thing, sure. It's just annoying that you have to wait so long AFTER an album is recorded. I guess marketing strategists at the big record companies are to blame for that.

With the first Dylan track, by the way, I was slightly disappointed (and I'm a big Dylan fan). Nothing against good old blues and western swing, but maybe he should still try and write a melody now and then ... He's no Mark Knopfler in that respect, but he proofed many times that he can do it if he wants to.

Oh I liked it. It was quite melodic - for a Dylan song from my point of view. The intro sounded as "Folkshack" was playing, you remember the band that did the "Meet & Greets" in 2008? The guitar (played by Bob himself obviuosly has a great rough sound, too!

dustyvalentino in what way would it affect sales? Cause I don't really believe it affects sales in anyway. Only thing I could come up with is that people wouldn't buy it cause they think it's a crappy CD. But would they actually buy it normally without listening? I doubt it. Anyway, it's the fans that eagerly want to hear the CD as soon as possible and will buy it anyway to keep their collection complete.

A lot of people are happy just to have the music as mp3s and don't care about having the CD in a box somewhere  as part of there "collection".

I was happy with the mp3's until I bought a decent home stereo. Listening to Brothers in Arms in 5.1 is a whole new experience.

As for those who say they don't care for a leak anymore, try living on an island in the middle of the atlantic where an amazon order will probably take two weeks to arrive :'(   I want the leak now!!!!

Yeah, I was looking for some Dylan snippets - but nothing. Today the first track, one week before release... Strange, the Dylan fans obviously have no clue what to expect and it is just one week to go...

LE

I have heard Early Roman Kings and it has been much discussed on ER and then about a minute of Scarlet Town and now Duquesne Whistle - so it's not the first track to emerge from Tempest.   Personally, I found ERK just like lots of other blues songs that BD has sung, the sample of Scarlet Town was a bit short to comment on and Duquesne Whistle sounds great at the beginning - nice jazzy band, but then BD's gargling voice ruins it - for me anyway.

I wouldn't say I didn't like it - but if you compare it to the opening tracks of his other albums since Time Out of Mind, I thought this one was the weakest. Anyway, a new Knopfler double album, a new Dylan album - who am I to complain!

I haven't listened to the snippets in the last 7 days and "only" played Seattle 10 times and haven't done so in the last two days.

By the way, I have ordered it nearly a month ago. If the stores get it by Friday, why on earth don't i get it the same day? I mean they could have mailed them a week earlier since they already got my money so early.

New ways to please the die hard fans are of the table, I guess. But I think it would be a nice surprise if they thought of it and a bigger still, if I have it the day after tomorrow.

OK, if not Sigur Ros, how about Mogwai? They have a nice way to un-plug my ears!

Post by: a visitor on August 30, 2012, 11:45:15 AM
First impression after listenening to both CDs straight through once:

Great production quality. Period. Sound is wonderful, and I absolutely adore the rawer feeling on some of the tracks. (Looks like Mark has picked up a few pointers mentioned on Guy's forum over the years.) Not a lot of guitar playing, but more than on Get Lucky. Quite standard fare for Mark, I'd say. No surprises.

As for the songs, I have no particular favorite yet, but the slower ones seem to be the stronger ones. Go Love and Seattle are stunning. The upbeat ones are basically variations of blues songs, and while I love blues, they feel a bit out of place and somewhat contrived. Mark has obviously roots in the blues, but he's no blues singer, and it's a bit embarrassing when he tries to sound more American than the Americans with "Baby, am I hat or wat". The blues numbers tend to sound very similar, and in my opinion they could have been reduced to one or two tracks. There are simply too many of them.

Which brings me to another thing: I've mentioned it earlier, but I strongly believe the album would have benefited from being reduced to one killer CD OR that the songs would have been ordered thematically/stylistically on each CD. Now it's like one big hodge podge of (good and some great songs) that tend to blend into some unidentifable mass. Too much of a good thing is not always a good thing.

All in all, I think it's a very good album, it definitely deservers many listens and I believe many songs will grow on me and become favorites down the line. There's plenty of material to elaborate on to create a killer concert setlist, that's for sure. Definitely time to ditch some of the staples.

Post by: El Macho on August 30, 2012, 12:21:06 PM
I agree with the blues songs, but among these blues songs, a few are real gems : Bluebird, Miss you blues.
Hot or what also gives me the impression that Mark forces himself to be american. The way he speaks/sings in the blues tracks isn't my cup of tea.... These tracks would have better fitted in a NHB album !

Interesting what you say Pasta Strainer about the 2CD thing being a bad idea and it would have been better being a 1CD of KILLER songs.  Perhaps if they had decided to put all the left-overs onto another disc and included it in the super deluxe box set then it would have made it a bit more attractive...
Title: Re: Album leak?
Post by: a visitor on August 30, 2012, 12:38:23 PM
Too much and too little are both two evils, but at least with too much you can always skip. Especially in our playlist days, you can easily create your dream album. I think I'd order the songs in a ballads pile and a blues pile. The blues pile will be perfect for early morning in the forest runs, and the ballad pile perfect for being knackered on the floor after that early morning run. Who said piles can't be a good thing? (That sounds wrong.)

Bad news is it's 8:15am and I won't be able to have my first listen before I get home at 6pm... :S

"Early morning in the forest runs!"  Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.  [He he he...] :lol :lol

I actually mean the self-inflicted torture of running in the forest in the morning. Trying to get this old body back into some sort of shape. Did you have anything else in mind?

The absolute last thing I can do in the morning is run through a forest.  It's as much as I can do to get myself out of bed!

Haha. Getcha. Well, I'm a bit of an early riser anyway, so if I'm going to put myself through agony, I might as well do it when I'm up for it (no pun intended).

If you Google mark knopfler privateering and limit the time to the last 24 hours, most hits will be links to download sites. Most of them have something to with "plan9", as was shown on the picture of the CD one or two pages back.

Interesting what you say Pasta Strainer about the 2CD thing being a bad idea and it would have been better being a 1CD of KILLER songs.  Perhaps if they had decided to put all the left-overs onto another disc and included it in the super deluxe box set then it would have made it a bit more attractive...
It would have been a 1CD of a killer songs if you were entitled to select the songs.   ;)
Don't forget the people in question have considered that Gravy Train, Camerado and Kingdom Come were not good enough.  ::)

Honestly I don't understand the 'bad songs discussion'. If you think the song sequence and location on either disc 1 or 2 is wrong, simply burn your own 2CD version! Problem solved. Anyway, I'm glad there is a two CD, there's no chance we miss too many songs. Everyone will have his/her favorites and skippers. Now we're all happy aren't we? ;D

I am so very curious about the bonus track song "Follow The Ribbon" (8:07). I have a feeling it must be a good one. Mark will always try to keep a song interesting. Hope there will be some interesting chord progressions in this one.  8) There are only 3 MK studio songs longer then this one. TR, MFN and TOL.

Couldn't help burning a cd and running to my car to have a quick listen - with some skips.

Go, Love is a genuine gem and Dream of the Drowned Submariner, as I expected, is just one of the most beautiful songs ever written. My ride home after work takes an hour or so and it's gonna be the best one ever!

My impressions after first listens:

GH: Liked it very much and fell in love gradually.
STP: Love at first listen.
TRD: Apart from Why Aye Man and Hill Farmer's Blues a huge disappointment.
SL: Liked and enjoyed it very much but never really loved it.
KTGC: I tried really really hard to like it but never came close.
GL: Same as GH.
Privateering: Likely to replace STP as my favourite.

Aaaah :D

My 1st listen will be on Monday. I've been strong, & only listened to Privateering, Haul Away & Redbud Tree.
A new MK cd is akin to a religious experience for me, & I certainly can agree about the 1st time you open the cd, smell the booklet, read the lyrics & hear a brand new Knopfler song for the very 1st time.
My juices are flowing as I type this!!!!
ROLL ON MONDAY!!!!

We need to have a serious talk boy.  ;)
First of all on TRD are 2 other wonderful songs, besides WAM and HFB, namely "A Place I Used To Live" and "Marbletown". Though the 2010 live version of Marbletown is a million times better. Besides that "Fare Thee Well Northnumberland" isn't that bad either.

Well, and the new album is great, but STP still remains the best of all solo albums, imho. STP is so much more interesting when it comes to the guitarwork. The new album doesn't contain any real noticable/memorable typical Knopflerian guitar riff or solo.

LOL I like FTWN but don't fancy it... However Marbletown is definetely not my cup of tea.

I think Mark's over 'flashy' guitar riffs, we just have to get used to that methinks. But you're right, STP is a masterpiece. I can't give my final opinion as yet since I haven't listened to Privateering properly but I can tell you it's gonna be up there on my podium, even if it will have to share the gold medal with STP!

Golden Heart was a funny story for me.  By 1996 I'd given up on hearing any new music from DS or MK.  That album came out with no fanfare or promotion at all here in the US, and MK's presence on the internet was in its infancy and I hadn't the foggiest idea he had a new album out until I stumbled across it in a record store maybe 3 months after it was released.  I picked it up and thought, "Whoa, what's this?"  I bought it, not knowing if it was a soundtrack or a proper album or anything about it, went home and put it on and listened to it all the way through, loved every minute of it.  Not knowing anything about it ahead of time was really great, just like the old days, except I hadn't even hear a single on the radio or anything.

STP on the other hand I had the whole album from Napster before it came out, and loved it just as much as GH.  Still far and away my favorite MK solo albums.
TRD: I was also very disappointed in this.
SL: I loved it on first listen and listened to it a lot for a while, but it didn't age as well as GH and STP.
KTGC: Worst album Mark has ever done, IMO.
GL: Meh. 

Looking forward to Privateering.  Mark's strongest albums seem to have been the ones where he took the most time to record, and recorded the most songs to choose from for the album, so it should at least be an improvement over the last two.

I totally agree with you on KTGC. I actually like True love will never fade (it was played on my wedding, when I came in the place) and In the sky, but others songs didn't really touch me. So well, these are not my first impressions on every album, but my order of preference:

Golden heart
Sailing to Philadelphia
The ragpicker's dream
Shangri-La
Get lucky
Privateering
All the roadrunning
Kill to get crimson
Title: Re: Album leak?

I only liked 4 songs of KTGC:
05. We Can Get Wild
07. Punish The Monkey
09. Behind With The Rent
11. Madame Geneva's (imho best song of the album )

One major problem of KTGC is that is sounds way too flat.
