First of all: Who knows the music of Dire Straits, will perhaps shake in this album by Mark Knopfler head a little - Mark Knopfler is old ?! Exactly the opposite is the case! This album is just terrific: either through the subtle use of strings (in "What It Is"), or the support of well-known artists such as James Taylor ("Sailing To Philadelphia") or Van Morrison. In addition, with this album only really clear what kind of exceptional guitarist Mark Knopfler, because it perfectly over not only brings rocking guitar numbers, but can also conjure up gentle tone with his guitar. Sonically this CD can almost be called a reference, particularly as it has been included in HDCD ("High Definition Compatible Digital" of Pacific Micro Sonics) - who called a HDCD player his own, knows where of I speak. In conclusion, I can only say: Buy, buy, buy !!!
