CD ReviewsAlmost the perfect test disc for any DVD Audio system o dubhthaigh | north rustico, pei, canada | 03/09/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I'll skip the superlative merits of the songs themselves as I've covered that already, and tell you that with Knopfler you always get a GREAT sounding album. Enhanced with the DVD Audio format, it is almost too good to be true. Assuming you have a passion for well played, tasty guitar licks, it doesn't get any more sublime or sound any more intimate than this DVDA. I'd swear I can hear the strings being plucked! The balance throughout the disc is extraodinary, the dynamics letter perfect. The intimacy acheived and the presence and separation of the music is what is so incredible about this format and in the case of Knopfler, he takes the format to its optimum. Positively, I highly recommend this disc. As good as the first release was, this is just so much better. I can hardly wait for LOCAL HERO and RAGPICKER'S DREAM, CAL and TELEGRAPH ROAD." A pleassure to the audiophile's ear B. G. Erico | Miami, Florida USA | 01/31/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "This format (DVD-A + standard cd) is very comfortable to me. I listen the cd at my car and DVD-A in my audiophile's room. The record from Knopffler is just great. Delicate melodies, beautiful arrangements and his guitar's sound...like the old times but with the new tech. Te sound of the DVD-A is just perfect, using the 5.1 ways as everybody should. This format is too expensive yet, but don't hesitate to invest money in this great record." Ricardo's Review Shelley Obwald | San Carlos, Ca. United States | 03/08/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "A very tasteful album. Each song has a nice story to tell and the musicianship on the album is second to none. The surrownd sond is set up like you were sitiing in the middle of the band. Mark Knopfler's guitar playing is adventurous and beautiful. There are some good Rock songs (Boom Like That), blues (Song for Sonny Liston), and ballads. All in all an excellent record and one that should be included in everyones library. Nice extras with a "making of the record" segment and 4 good videos.
I guarentee you will enjoy this record!" |
