Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Its Mark Knopfler at his creative bestComment: You dont need to be a guitar enthusiast or a fan to experience the sheer genius of Mark Knopfler that this collection tellingly brings home. This album is a gem that's been hidden away for too long. If you enjoy instumental music then this one absolutely *must* be one in your collection. There's a touch of folk to many of the tracks and Mark Knopfler has partnered with greats like Paul Brady to produce some of the best in there. Oh and remember, the first few times you listen to this, make sure you're in a place and time you'd want to remember much much later . . . this album does that to you - brings back the sights, the smells and the sounds of the place where you first listened to it!!Customer Rating: Summary: A fantastic compilation of a serious musical genius.Comment: Few people have never at least heard of Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler, or hummed along to one of the many smash hits and fantastic instrumental soundtracks that this musical genius (thought by some to be one of the three best guitar virtuosos in the western world) has brought to life over the last decades. This album contains the cream of Knopfler's soundtrack writing, including such memorable classics as "Going home" (from "Local Hero") and "Fairytale love" (from "The Princess Bride"). All in all, a classic album well worth investing in, especially if you don't own all the back-catalogue of soundtracks. If you want to know more about this man, more recent releases include the soundtrack to "Wag the dog" as well as the solo albums "Sailing to Philadelphia" and "Golden Heart".
