The best Dire Straits LP!

With "Brothers In Arms" Dire Strais were commercially successful though, with "Making Movies" but they were at the peak of their creativity - or better geagt, at the peak of Mark Knopfler's creativity, the undisputed mastermind and guitar genius. After brother David away from the band, he reinforced. The band in the studio with Roy Bittan (E-Street Band) and knew how to take the band gently to a new sound That Knopfler wanted the pure guitar sound off, was audible already here, but it was quite clear until the follow-productions "Love Over Gold" and "Brothers in Arms". What stands out on "Making Movies" as the density and quality of the songs - there is not a single failure. From the mini-drama and opener "Tunnel Of Love" about the ingenious "Romeo & Juliet" to the - for Dire Straits relations hard - rockers "Solid Rock", all of them feature the songs with sophisticated arrangements and clever lyrics. Especially in this respect the Albumcloser "Les Boys" is mentioned - more cynical observations of a "shady", lustful company can be found on CD barely. Conclusion - by far the most satisfying album of the band and the best entry for newcomers.
