After Local Hero certainly the best soundtrack of Knopfler

The new Mark-Knopfler soundtrack takes up where "Local Hero" ceases. Although "A Shot at Glory" breathed less spherical, but the direction is right. After more entäuschenden "Wag the Dog" - Soundtrack the new songs have nothing to be desired. Mark Knopfler is when it comes to Scottish folk music, absolutely firm grasp, the songs sound mature and far removed from any kitschy transfigured Plenkel-Dudel Highland Tourist music.
But the important thing is the atmosphere that he creates with his guitar playing, his sense of melody and romantic moods. Most tracks lurking from track 7 on the drenched eavesdroppers. Unusually for Knopfler soundtracks: Mark sings three songs himself.
Certainly one of my favorite albums of Mark Knopfler.
