Mark Knopfler....until he sings

[3LB]

In the context of Dire Straits, Knopfler is fine. I can't imagine anyone else singing them. But in saying that, I never made it all the way through but one or two albums of theirs. I can only take his music in small doses. His last one, with Emmy Lou Harris singing, was alright.

The mix sounds like sh!t. Way over the top with guitar, barley hear drums and bass appears to be playing from the green room.

I must agree - Knopfler puts a little "Money for Nothing" in pretty much everything he sings.

Like all music and most things in life - you either like it or you don't.

That clip was not supposed to be anything more than the example of the song I heard on the radio.

Nobody said it was. My coments in no way were reflective of your choice for an example of Kopfler.

It's just a fact, that mix sucks real bad. And that is pointed towards the engineer that created it.

The recording blows and so does the song - it's crap.

With a good mix on the same song, the vocals would still have been what they are - doesn't matter a bit - that example was a fine choice to reinforce the point you are making.

Keep your chin tucked and relax my friend.

I appreciate and concur with your comments!
