Brothers In Arms

Product Information

Producer Neil Dorfsman says the digital multitrack was mixed on an analog board with the resulting two track mix re-digitized via a Prism A/D converter and recorded on a DAT machine. Sonni's only contribution to the album was the guitar synthesizer on "The Man's Too Strong", with all the other guitar parts played by Knopfler.

Brothers in Arms was recorded from November 1984 to February 1985 at AIR Studios on the island of Montserrat, a British overseas territory in the Caribbean. Especially the mastering and audio balancing on Walk of Life, you can really hear everything with a huge sound and clarity, I don't even know how to describe it.This release comes in a wide spine sleeve with a branded obi-strip, printed inner sleeves and a certificate of authenticity from Abbey Road Studios. Full and with plenty of punch together with masterful instrument separation and a lively soundscape.
