I was happy to buy the DS live box but I did not listen to it as much as I would have expected to do it.

ATMOS stuff would be a simple no for me as I don't have the equipment to listen to

And I am very cautious with unpublished studio songs. The bonus tracks found on single during the DS days were already rejected stuff from the album and honestly I think I understood why.

Takes with longer fadeout or even better without fading would be of interest (like Deep Purple Machine Head 1997 remix for example)

I don't see unpublished songs as a "bad thing"
I mean, back then these songs could turn the albums "weak".
However, not today.

Just because it's all about the same stuff.
Mark has releasing weak songs on his recent works as bonus tracks.

I can't agree. These aren't weak songs:

Sky And Water
Pale Imitation
Don’t Suck Me In

The Living End
Fat Chance Dupree
Along A Foreign Coast
Nothing But Rain
Dolly Shop Man
Your Leading Man
Chess

Half of them are very weak, in my opinion. The rest are songs worth of being in a record.

I must admit that I find it very hard to remember most of the ODR songs, especially the whole bonus stuff. I don't know, it all sounds too generic and irrelevant to me. Once there was a time when an MK song was a well crafted monument (Speedway, 5.15am, Baloney Again, One Last Matinee, Hill Farmer etc and so on). These are just ... variations, echoes, weak caricatures of always the same

On Rob's list, I would call good songs the first two, The Living End and Dolly Shop Man, maybe Fat Chance Dupree.  It's sad somehow and the idea that once Long Highway or Camerado or River of Grog were "bonus" songs makes me feel nostalgic about MK's career. This 25something ODR songs better should have merged to an album of the strongest 10 or 11,12, and the rest should have stayed in the vaults or in his Notebook.

Could not agree more.

Nah... my denial phase was during the release of Tracker. DTRW just buried my expectations about new Mark's music.
My dislike for Mark's music begun before that. However, the tour with Dylan in 2011 and Privateering kind of saved his skin.

I haven't listening to DS, i believe, since last year.
And, before the release of ODR, last time that I really listened MK was during the pandemics.

The main problem is that my foundation as a musicas was because of Mark. So, happens to be tht everytime that MK releases something or shows up somewhere, it activates my teenager curiosity about music.

When your artist is relasing songs that does not moves you anymore you are just in a dead end.

There is still that guitar sound but you can't just reduce him to that.

What a frustration.

You are wishing for a miracle but you know that it won't happen.

Very good question from Julio:

I understand that anything you’re working on nowadays is you alone, meaning without MK, or is he involved in any way? Anything to work together is in the plans for next year?

GF:

No, we are involved in a few things together, and some on my own. For example today I’m doing pre-production work on the album I’m producing (at BG) for Our Man In The Field

I would assume that next year there will be a BIA anniversary release, but I don't think there will be another live DS box set released because it would be too repetitive. The logical follow-up (and taking into account the release order of the studio album box sets) would be new MK live solo material, something that is perfectly feasible since there is so much material. We know the DS brand sells a lot, but there's no official Mark release live from RLRR and that wasn't even a typical concert for his style, so I think it would sell well.
It's all about the music.

Palfrey:

...Would you know or have any sales figures worldwide regards your project and what was raised for the good cause, Guitar Hero’s?

GF:

Oddly, I haven’t heard a word. It all seems long forgotten.


It's sad, unfair and incomprehensible.

I really don't want to say it, but it's sort of... Maybe... Possibly... To be expected? I mean, all the criticism and rage that filled the forum upon the news of what this project was going to be came not out of thin air. I always said there were ways to make it more effective and everybody's like — you're a hater, shut up.

But the fact that the video hasn't reached even 1M views and Guy avoids questions about its success speaks volumes to me. It was a strange project indeed.
