An example of MK's lesser work for movie soundtracks. If you want to hear some inspired MK music for movies, I would strongly suggest you check-out the soundtrack to "Local Hero" (1983). OUTSTANDING work through and through, IMHO.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Hero_(album) |

omg....so sad, but I gotta agree! MK usually puts a bit more heart and soul into his music...

She plays the wife of the footballer in the DVD cover shot. Said footballer cheats on his wife, but he's also a big star brought in to save the struggling local team.
Kirsty's character also happens to be the estranged daughter of the team's coach, played by Duvall. No idea how good the movie is...

MK wrote this song? While eating pop-corn and watching football on TV?
Oh, it is for a soundtrack. That makes sense.

Yeah, I think so too. He's been gradually mellowing out (even during DS, just look at the change into Brothers in Arms, and then quite more subtle On Every Street).
I like a lot of his newer work (love Golden Heart, enjoy Shangri-La), but the hit/miss ratio has decreased for me, and it takes more listenings to get into as well.
I'm hearing some JJ Cale |

I just do not understand.. Take Shangri-La and compare with ANY Dire Straits Album.. The guitar work just doesn't compare.

So apparently he did this one remotely. He's the man, he's the man, he's the man...whoa-k. Normally I like MK, but this is a throw-away he must have been pressed to do in his contract or as a favor. Ho hum. |

Kind of reminds me of the work that Eric Clapton does for movie soundtracks.

Whatever Mark Knopfler touches turns to gold.
Completely different style, still awesome.
