Dire Straits stretched out in every direction on Love Over Gold, the 1982 album that opens with a fourteen-minute epic and dares you to keep up. This Japanese import presents it on SHM-CD, the Super High Material CD format.
By the early 1980s, Mark Knopfler had moved well past the pub-rock tightness of the band's debut. Love Over Gold found him writing in long, cinematic forms, with Alan Clark's keyboards giving the songs room to breathe and build. Only five tracks make up the album, yet it never feels slight, because each one unfolds like a short story with its own weather.
Telegraph Road is the centrepiece, tracing the growth of a town from a single dirt track into a highway of disappointment, with Knopfler's closing guitar solo arriving like a release of pressure after the long build. Private Investigations is all shadow and suspense, a hushed noir piece of nylon-string guitar and half-spoken vocals that became an unlikely hit single.
Industrial Disease swings the mood around entirely with a wry, keyboard-driven satire of early-1980s Britain, before the reflective title track and the bittersweet It Never Rains bring the album home.
It remains the album where Dire Straits were at their most ambitious, and this Japanese CD lets every patient detail come through.
