About this deal

Having turned his back to superstardom after Dire Straits' _On every street_ album has done Knopfler's music a lot of good, and as he didn't have to play "Sultans of swing", "Money for nothing" and "Walk of life" anymore on his tour with Emmylou Harris it seems people are finally seeing him as a solo artist instead of that man from Dire straits.

He contacted Jimmy Iovine after hearing Iovine's production on the song " Because the Night" by Patti Smith—a song co-written by Smith and Bruce Springsteen. Dire Straits expanded into a quintet when keyboard player Alan Clark and Californian guitarist Hal Lindes were recruited as full-time group members shortly after the album's release in October 1980. Tunnel of Love was a little closer for me comparing the two but still have the give the nod to this release. It appears mine was done at the Toronto plant and have seen decent pressings from there on occasion. Produced by Jimmy Iovine and Knopfler, the record – which contains many Springsteen-esque elements – features the cleanliness and clarity that have long been Dire Straits trademarks.Making Movies Is A Rock Masterpiece After Dire Straits second album was criticized as more of the same, Mark Knopfler responded with a rock masterpiece titled Making Movies. This is another story song, but of a hot young girl that skates around the city listening and bobbing to music on her headphones engrossed in the fantasies of the songs and oblivious to the world. It’s not a Mofi 45 or UHQR but it’s as good or better than the 33 ⅓ versions that come from those efforts. Almost flawless album Amazing vocals, amazing instrumentation, and the lyric writing is truely immaculate here. The title of the album is taken from a line in the song " Skateaway" and from the outtake "Making Movies.

Objectively speaking, it's nothing revolutionary but it's a neat collection of songs that are somewhat different in tones and moods. The song is filled with romantic projections, though in real life most women would run away from a creepy carnival worker hitting on them. Group Has Sold More Than 2 Mil Disks - Dutch Delight In Dire Straits - Dutch Delight in Dire Straits" (PDF). Rolling Stone ranked Making Movies number 52 in their survey of the 100 Best Albums of the Eighties.Ask critics what their favorite Dire straits album is, they'll always tell you it's their titleless debut. Skateaway" is another brilliant song, the only song on which Knopfler really shows us what a great guitar player he is.
