Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits


is one of my all time favorite CDs. Does anyone here in Audiogon also enjoys this CD and knows of any similar CDs you can recommend me? Thanks.

Hi-You might want to try some of the Mark Knopfler written soundtracks, there's some really nice music in these:
Cal
Last Exit To Brooklyn
Local Hero
The Princess Bride
Wag The Dog
Or, there's a really nice double LP called "Mark Knopfler - Screenplaying" which has one side samplers of each of the first 4 titles above. It's also available on CD.
Or, if you want to venture in a delightfully different direction, check out the Mark Knopfler produced album by Willy Deville (one of the most underrated voices in rock) called "Miracle." The LP's sonics are outstanding, and the songs are really good. If you get "Miracle" on CD, make sure it's the Raven Record's "Collectors Edition" - the regular release sounds dreadful.
Happy Listening!

Check out the Subdudes (New Orleans band)
The Bodeans and the Continental Drifters.
If you love Dire Straits Brother in Arms and you don't own the JVC XRCD version of it you are in for a treat. Positively the definitve reference recording of Dire Straits! You can find it at www.amusicdirect.com
The remastered disc is outstanding. Mark K's timing is great. There is a lot going on between the notes! Check out Eric Clapton's latest "REPTILE"
