goose Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Making Movies.Tunnel of Love=Pure Class.Mark Knopfler solo is well worth a listen to! Sailing to Philadelphia is highly recommended!Yeah, Tunnel of Love, Romeo & Juliet, and Skateaway make a perfect album side. Sailing to Philadelphia has the title track and What It Is as a great album opener. The balance of the album is enjoyable, but quirky. Here's What It Is...classic Knopfler riffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Honestly I'm surprised to see they had so many albums. they can be the price of having a smash album..........public might tend to think it's your debut, lol Mick So many people think Springsteen started with BITUSA. Others think Nightwish started with Once. It gets annoying. I might try this band again.Try this on for size... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great tune Goose......actually great album. MickBaloney Again, right now. I agree that it's a strong effort. A casual fan could own it and have all the Knopfler they need, I think.

Ancient Ways Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 You won't believe how long it took me to figure out where their first album was. S/T wasn't ringing any bells... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought this when it came out...it brings back memories of geting back to Rio after living in São Paulo for a few years. My then-girlfriend loved this album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Communique I wasn't the only one impressed when this came out. Bob Dylan was straight on the phone begging Mark Knopfler to collaborate on his next album. Robert Plant nabbed drummer Pick Withers for his second solo album. Communique is the only DS album I have really liked from start to finish. The track News is particularly great. https://youtu.be/0Ed_obeYzJw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronos Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I had no idea until a moment ago (thanks, Wikipedia) that our local Telegraph Road here in northwest Ohio/southwest Michigan is the one that inspired the song of the same name. Of course I'll have to play the song next time I travel on it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
