I actually enjoyed the third track more than the previous two, at least I can listen to it

exactly, Andrey, not to mention that "Come So Far, Still So Far to Go" was produced so much better

They don't annoy me on those records, they rather provoke a feeling of nostalgia

To tell you the truth, the song disappointed me a bit. I'm glad they invited a real drummer, but he doesn't seem to save the whole thing. Personally I hate these synthesizers. If you can't afford real session musicians, why not ditch these miserable sounds altogether and play something raw like he d...

The official Twitter account seems to have been posting lyrics from new songs for a couple of days now, and yesterday they announced an interview on BBC Radio 2 to be aired today, where Chris will be playing something new!

My guess would be a nicotine gum because the doctor could have said that Chris must give up smoking, and maybe Chris gets nervous when giving an interview. Or this could be some other medicine.

Thanks a lot Andrey, the compilation is great! My favourite band is Latin Quarter, I guess
When you have time, it would be great to get that live recording, maybe from the gig that you think had the greatest guitar solos
Thanks again!

Yes, I used the contact form on the website :) My e-mail is lemon_tree [at] list [dot] ru You did great work analyzing all the records and I believe you chose one that you though was the best, so I could just get that one... And I don't think I have enough hard disk space for lossless sound so MP3 w...

Oh, I see
I once e-mailed you about a live recording of Chris's tour (the one they distributed on USB sticks) but never heard back so I decided the content was only distributed outside Russia

Impressive Andrey, what a great work!
I think you put the album name instead of the song name in the beginning of Disc two (Elton John).

Hi Andrey! By the way, I hear him playing slide guitar in the bridge of Be-Bop-a-Lula from Jools's show, and it really sounds unusual, but Chris's playing technique is recognizable. Maybe it is one of his new guitars. I actually had an impression that Chris didn't play at all, the picture showed him...

"It is very weird that Chris spent most of his career creating music he sees as a compromise which is the very music the most of us love the most." Yes, I often think the same, actually! But I love "Dancing down the Stony Road", which is no compromise, but pure pain and relief (a...

Well, as CR said in the interview for "Blue Guitars", Mark Knopfler and Eric Clapton are f***ing rich

Oh yes, Auberge is great. But even on the Blue Cafe (e.g. "Where do we go from here" or "Shadows of the Big Man") I think synthesizers are used, not real strings, but it still sounds perfect. By the way, I've heard the new track by Mark Knopfler, "Beryl". He never loses...

Wow, thanks Anneke!
