Mark Knopfler Shangri La on sa-cd

Ears, I agree my first impression of all his work has had to grow on me. But once it registers, I am hooked. Let's hope the whole Dire and Knopfler catalog comes out in SACD.

All the Dire Straits/Knopfler cd's I heard have good music/excellent sound. Mark Knopfler is one of the most consistently good and tasteful artists out there today. He is a great guitarist, but only plays what is necessary, which in my opinion makes his playing much more interesting than the "more and faster" players who simply move up and down the fretboard as fast as they can go with no regard to musicality. $29.99 is a ridiculous amount to pay for a single disc. As stated in previous posts, the prices of cd's is what is holding back the music industry, not piracy!

Bought mine at Amazon U.K for under 20.00.
It is a fairly mellow Knopfler recording, but like the others it grows on you quick.
AmazonUK has this recording on redbook,vinyl,sa-cd and dvd video.
