5.0 out of 5 stars Its Mark Knopfler at his creative best, 17 Nov 2002
You dont need to be a guitar enthusiast or a fan to experience the sheer genius of Mark Knopfler that this collection tellingly brings home. This album is a gem that's been hidden away for too long. If you enjoy instumental music then this one absolutely *must* be one in your collection. There's a touch of folk to many of the tracks and Mark Knopfler has partnered with greats like Paul Brady to produce some of the best in there. Oh and remember, the first few times you listen to this, make sure you're in a place and time you'd want to remember much much later . . . this album does that to you - brings back the sights, the smells and the sounds of the place where you first listened to it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic compilation of a serious musical genius., 11 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Screenplaying (Music from the Films ...) (Audio CD)
Few people have never at least heard of Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler, or hummed along to one of the many smash hits and fantastic instrumental soundtracks that this musical genius (thought by some to be one of the three best guitar virtuosos in the western world) has brought to life over the last decades. This album contains the cream of Knopfler's soundtrack writing, including such memorable classics as "Going home" (from "Local Hero") and "Fairytale love" (from "The Princess Bride"). All in all, a classic album well worth investing in, especially if you don't own all the back-catalogue of soundtracks. If you want to know more about this man, more recent releases include the soundtrack to "Wag the dog" as well as the solo albums "Sailing to Philadelphia" and "Golden Heart".

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 11 Jun 2009
I bought this CD because (a) Mark Knopfler is my favourite guitarist ever, and (b) I liked the theme song of the Princess Bride movie. Surely a CD of Knopfler soundtracks would be sheer bliss? Nope.

Firstly, there's little or nothing in the way of guitar pyrotechnics. Sounds more like the Shadows.

Secondly, the Princess bride theme is an instrumental - the atmospheric song version with Knopfler's husky vocals is not included. However, that was my mistake.

Thirdly, the rest of the album sounds like the sort of thing an average amateur musician might put together on their computer with a programme like Garage Band - thin arrangements consisting of bland synth chords, drum loops, clichéd sax solos - dull, bland, supermarket music.

All in all, very disappointing.
