There was a very certain insider's info that in winter Chris recorded with a live group in big studio, and now it is officially confirmed, so it is surely new records. If it were re-recordings compilation like 1988 New Light, it would be announced straightforwardly, I presume. On the other hand, the album may sound a lot like a compilation of 'old-school' sounding stuff, which I fear a lot.
The official website looks better too.
Thanks to the new (for Chris) major label, BMG, I think. Particularly I did love the article in the 'about' section. Very careful and thoughtful writing, with no actual mistakes or discrepancies. Really wonder who's the author.
I really hope Chris will have a new (commercial) breath with BMG who may agree to take over the copyrights for CR old stuff from Warners to reissue. BTW, does anyone have a clue about new CR management since it is definitely not John Knowles anymore?
Thanks again to everyone here,
best wishes
