Dire Straits beyond all bombast

Phase of the band in which the stories told in the Mark Knopfler his songs were in the foreground.

The whole was carried by the precision sound of the whole band.

Without sensationalism, without bombast, without a song inflate artificially an epic.

The resulted songs have a wonderful magic of this can never be boring or banal. I have this CD

bought 13 years ago and it is still one of my favorite "plates".

At the latest after with Pick Withers left the band the second founding member and an increasing number of guest musicians were allowed to let off steam in the Dire Straits went this magic lost what was its lowest point with "On Every Street".

This plate is a legacy of that period where nothing but good enough music to captivate the people in front of the stage or to entertain.

And last but not least it is a part of the legacy of today unreached band.
