Newest Listed Items

Brothers In Arms brought the atmospheric, jazz-rock inclinations of Love Over Gold into a pop setting, resulting in a surprise international best-seller.

Of course, the success of Brothers In Arms was helped considerably by the clever computer-animated video for "Money For Nothing," a sardonic attack on MTV. But what kept the record selling was Mark Knopfler's increased sense of pop song-craft... "Money for Nothing" had an indelible guitar riff, "Walk Of Life" is a catchy up-tempo boogie variation on "Sultans Of Swing," and the melodies of the bluesy "So Far Away" and the down-tempo, Everly Brothers-style "Why Worry" were wistful and lovely. ​
