    Those reviewers who gave this CD rave reviews mustn't get out much. I am a really big Mark Knopfler fan, but I was a bit disappointed in this fare. Except for a couple of cuts where you can hear that old Knopfler edge, most of this stuff could have been written by anyone. It was mostly sappy strings, typical of much movie music. It was, for the most part, easy listing elevator music. If that's what you are into, then the $10 price tag may be worth it. If you are a Mark Knopfler or Dire Straits fan and expect something edgy and powerful, you won't find it here.

    If you are reading this then maybe you are a Knopfler fan who is curious about Mark's film work but cannot quite absorb that genre, DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR!!!,this is unbelievable!! From the gorgeous wanderings of the melodies from Cal and Local Hero to the aching strings of Last Exit ,its all very, Very moving.

    If the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the words "Mark Knopfler" is "Money for Nothing", you probably won't like this one. But if you want to hear a pure MASTERPIECE, buy it now, then put this CD on and sit back and prepare for pure total sensory pleasurement beyond your wildest imagination.

    I have always loved Local Hero the movie and Local Hero - Going Home theme from Dire Straits Live album. This collection is really great, it reminded me of all the rest of the fab music from that movie and introduced me to the other wonderful music specially from Cal.

    Knopfler greatness comes across so well in this collection as a true of master classical and symphonic rock, the Galic connection makes his music dreamy and wonderful, enjoy!
