Another album to check out from Mark Knopfler is Golden Heart. There is not to much of the "sameness" between the cuts on this album. Very well recorded as usual and is recorded in HDCD as well. Sailing To Philidelphia, and Shangri La are also in HDCD if this matters to anyone.

Also check out his brother David Knopfler. His solo stuff is worth a listen.

Cheers,
Glenn
