It should be forbidden here to post anything the first three days after a new song release.  :lol

Vice versa, my opinion about that "Fletcher crap" Nobody Does That changed completey. I love it in the meantime as I do Drover's Road from the first listen.

Hard to find any better at the moment... I guess you used a recording software?
I got the original stream and just cut the mp3's... still that stream quality is not the best... just happy they actually played so many songs from the album already even though it is a bit interesting if they will get a word from MK management about it  :hmm

I am still listening to the cut mp3's from original stream and like them... But the discs will be better..

i hope you will revisit your opinion once you had the chance to listen to the full album, with good headphones on.

This is another problem. Since Tracker, seems that all MK song is based on the great features of the BG studio.
I want to listen a good song with a good sound, not that cheesy Michael Bolton style  ;)

I just read Trapper Man thread again from when we first heard it.   We were all over the moon and loving it as though it was the best thing ever, then gradually little cracks and doubts began to appear, especially about the organ, as the euphoria subsided  ::)

Probably because people scrutinise the songs too much and nitpick over the tiniest little thing.  This has been made for our enjoyment, not to be analysed and criticised.  These little so-called "weaknesses" are then pointed out to most of us who would never even have noticed them before, almost spoiling it for the majority.  And we haven't even heard the full album in highest quality yet!

I'm not trying to silence opinion, merely pointing out that we should all remember make up our own minds on the songs and that no one person is correct.   :)

All recordings we made are 'crap' quality according to some people here. So maybe we shouldn't spread any new ones anymore.

Nah, the album's soon here so no need for it unless the last 4 are played, but I think John Scott is back on Friday next...

I am still a bit curious about all these songs they have played.. surely MK management, if they know about it, can't be too happy about it. Considering their $$ in their eyes this time in terms of FA fees, general ticket pricing etc, they should be pissed if one can get most of the songs nearly a week before the album is actually released...

Just wonder if WWUH will get a message from them  :lol Anyway they made our weekend... well most of us  :clap

Opinions are something but stating the new songs sound like Michael Bolton isn't exactly an opinion. It's the same as saying banana tastes like tequila or New York looks like Bangkok, sorry lol

That's just another huuuuuuuge topic to discuss.

I can't see a single advantage for me as a listener in the fact that Mark records all of his music in the same studio. Yes, it's versatile and it can produce a record that Bob Ludwig will call his benchmark for mastering, but what I'm interested in is the music and not the smell of tape and CLASP system. I mean the quality is important, but not to the point of divinity as it is for Guy.

I mean I don't care listen I the song on the radio or on $1,000,000 system with golden cables and Prism converters. It doesn't change the song.

And again it all comes down to the production.

You are absolutely right.
I like the production of the Tracker album. It sounds minimalist and full sounding.
The songs are mellow and simple (except for Skydiver and that Vox organ that ruins Beryl  :disbelief). In a few words, the production fits the album.

I always imagine if the KTGC album were be recorded in instead of Tracker.
