Call me cynical but the only reason for this website can be for money-making purposes.  Therefore I would wager that the so-called secret project has something to do with DS.  Perhaps previously unreleased material is what they have been working on, and this website can be used for internet sales/promotion etc.  I wouldn't get too excited about a reunion.

I completely agree with you DMG.

There must be some reason to have this DS website up and running suddenly after more than 25 years. But i would not expect to much of it. Like said here before, probably to make some money out off it in combination with the induction of the Hall of Fame. And if we get lucky perhaps a new live cd/dvd...

They have owned this site since 1996, zero exploitation, unbelievable at best

How many big bands have no website like dire straits ? zero ?

I seriously doubt that there's something special coming up. I really think it'll be news, pictures and probably a few videos about the RRHOF and that'll be it. We know Mark doesn't look back...

I don't expect any sort of reunion, but releasing old stuff would be great !
indeed, we know that Mark doesn't look back, and that there is no really chances for this, but this site and the RnRHoF give me some hope...

When was the last time something official came out from DS? Was that the Alchemy DVD?

A 40th anniversary of DS career new editions full of extra material?

Excuse me, I'm going to laugh so loud that I will probably fall on the floor.

New answer: "Yes, it is run by the same folks who administer MK's site and social media."

Do you think that in this page we seen any uncut new proshot recordings?
are you serious?
i have a question(s) for you (serious):
how old are you?
where are you from?
when did you start to listen to MK/DS?
have you checked dimeadozen/spanish city and other torrent sites in the meantime?

your questions always seem a bit,...naive/funny. sorry if that is all due to language issues.
