The good thing about the interview is that he confirmes he will make another solo record.

My thoughts also!

My thoughts also!

Is there any English version of it?

I guess there would be more interviews supporting this new release.

Just like he said he would go on touring until he fell over... ODR is the best record since Privateering but I still have a strong feeling it's the last one.

yeah, ODR was finished later 2023 (probably autumm), according to Guy there are no plans to record yet almost half 2025, I think what he said is more a wish than a fact. I hope I'm wrong.

What MK actually said was:

 "There really is another album coming, but from me alone. "

I have a feeling that this may be a true solo album.  I hope it is, because it is something I have wanted from MK for a long time.

He means a solo record instead of a Dire Straits record

I'm sure you're right.  It's just me being too optimistic!

You should know by now that optimism isn’t allowed on this forum!

The interview from Inthestudio can't possibly be all new? Most, or all, must be from when the album was released. There is something with his voice and how he talks about stuff, like the stories from Montserrat.

[Dutchessy]

Ofcourse it's allowed  I just reacted because the article is in Dutch

It sounds old indeed, like DS times.

Yes, it’s definitely an old interview. I heard it on YouTube some time ago. I think it’s at least 20-25 years old. Perhaps 30.

I guess I'm lost. Finally new or old?

The Dutch article is new, inthestudio seems way old

Maybe he means the stp 25th anniversary? It's a solo album of him.
