Dire Straits' Brothers In Arms arrives on CD, which feels fitting for a 1985 album whose crystal-clear digital sound became a showcase for the format.
Mark Knopfler and the band recorded much of it on Montserrat, with Knopfler producing alongside Neil Dorfsman, and the result was their commercial peak. The album balanced radio-ready hits with long, atmospheric pieces, and it became one of the defining rock records of the decade.
Money for Nothing is the famous one, built on a crunching guitar riff and featuring Sting's unmistakable falsetto. Walk of Life bounces along on a rockabilly organ line, while So Far Away opens the record with a relaxed, rolling groove. The closing title track is the real heart of it: slow, mournful and beautifully restrained, with Knopfler's guitar doing as much talking as his voice.
In between, the band stretches out with smoky saxophone, patient arrangements and plenty of room to breathe. The production remains a reference point for audio fans, wide and detailed without ever feeling cold, and the quieter songs reveal fresh details on every play.
Decades on, it still sounds expensive in the best way. For fans of the classic Dire Straits sound, this CD is the essential one to own.
