This is one of the few Dire Straits songs I like. They just don't do it for me. I like bands that tear out my insides and dip them in burning hot acid.

Ironically, I heard this on vinyl at a friend's house who had a high end audio system and the vinyl blew the CD away in an AB comparison. |

Not as keen on this album as I am with MK's more recent solo stuff...but it's still damn good.

Thanks for reminding me of an album I once loved, and for some unknown reason I seem to have neglected for many years.

Crisp, tight, melodic, stops me in my tracks. This album and their first (named 'Dire Straits' but everyone calls it 'Vertigo') are masterpieces, IMHO.
As a guitar player, I have strived for his tone. Unsuccessfully.

Most self-help books, religions and life mentors deliver the same basic message:
1. Don't be a Dick.
2. If you are a Dick, Stop!
3. If you can't stop, then be the best Dick you can be.
If you substitute "biggest" for "best" in rule 3, you've pretty much summed Dick up. |

Welcome to the ever-progressive world of RadioParadise.  Sometimes, I think everyone's comments should automatically be prefaced with, "...But I digress..." (Only halfway serious here, since today, I'm not taking anything seriously.) |

Cynaera wrote:I never really attributed this song to one particular person - I sort of figured it was a metaphor for Satan, or politics in general. I was young and stupid, though - I just loved the SONG and didn't read much into it. That gorgeous National Steel guitar (I know something about it, but I can't remember what, at this point - I think it has something to do with Mike Nesmith, late of The Monkees.)
Ack. Love Mark Knopfler, (has anyone heard his brother David's song, "Whispers of Gethsemane"? It's from an album called "Lips Against the Steel" I think that's the title - it was pulled from the market before I could latch onto it, but it was rather phenomenal...)
"Brothers In Arms" is everything an audiophile could hope for in a CD, in my opinion.
Yeah I think this was the second CD I ever listened to (After Digital Domains, some CD that was just a mix of different cool sounds to show off the purity of CD sound). My brother had blown a huge amount on a giant Pioneer stereo system with speakers as big as the monolith in 2001 a Space Odyssey, and a few of us sat (basically between the two speakers) in his dorm room and listened to this CD. It might be a little dated now but at the time it was just the best damn CD in the world, from lyrics to composition to production. Of course I didn't know any of that then, I just new it was cool. |
