I googled a German translation for "Tracker" and found several meanings. A part in the solar energy technology to follow the sun/wind, someone who chases someone/something, and, very interesting, another word for a (military) drone. Is that known to our Englishspoken members, are you familiar  with these vocabulary?

Hmmm...not sure, I guess it will depend on the lyrics of the song by the same name!
 
Btw, May in Europe means US leg in late summer or even the fall of 2015...

Ir late march, early April as in previous tours.
You might get lucky, now and then

However I go for the classic historical tracker, who leads us to songs like Redbud Tree... (hunted down, I came along...).
Must say I like the title and it sounds like Privateering II to me...

Let's hope it's true!
However, the safest thing to do is wait for the official announcements, as someone already pointed out, newspapers aren't always correct.
Guy has been saying for a while now that the announcements will be "soon", so let that day come please!!
Still, I think it's looking good. I don't know what I think of the title, but it does sound Privateering-ish to me.

Thinking i was the one who found this article on the web and posted it on the tour 2015 section. Now reading all you're replies here on the post from Dutchessy really gives me a  :) feeling  :thumbsup :thumbsup
Hoping for some official news soon but i think it probably will be this week or the next. Anyway, will be surfing the net every now and then for some new dates and if i found one i will post it...  :wave
Oh, and we all know one song from the new album now. A song called tracker  :lol

I like the title of the album but does it mean that it will only be available as a download only?  ;D

Yes, and it will have the most compressed mp3-files known to man. That's good right  ::)

Nice title if that is what it is? I reckon it sounds like another Privateering type Album to me - wohhhoooo!! :wave  :clap (To be honest I'm not too fussed on album titles - just so long as there is plenty of MK Vocal & GUITAR then that will be just fine!!!)

I should think it will be available in all formats wouldn't you? :hmm

You're right, I forgot about the other (Norwegian?) one. The  management must have already gone to the venues and everything.

On an African safari, a 'tracker' sits on a small seat that juts out from the 4x4 (Jeep, Toyota etc) to read the spoor (tracks and other signs) of wildlife in the area. Could be a great album title as the tracker seeks lions, elephants, rhinos, maybe even rabbits (not that they'd survive long). The imagery and themes of survival could be endless!
Note to Pottel - could you please edit my (real) name which I see no one does and change it to "Tracker"?

Please, a translation in English  :D

JB just use Google Translator :)

Having Germans between us it worths a proper translation, which Google is not.

Google did it perfectly this time, as shown by superval
naaah, not really...
any Knopfler, Floyd or Dylan will do....

Yes, very good find!! I thought it deserved an own topic because its the first source who mentioned the album title and release period.
