Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms (1996) [EAC - FLAC] (oan)

Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms - Remastered


Brothers in Arms is the fifth studio album by British rock band Dire Straits,
in 1985. It is their most successful, especially in the States, propelled by
MTV video airplay. The first half of the album is a development of their
unique brand of arena rock which had evolved in their music since the
1980 album Making Movies, while the second half consists of more folkinfluenced
material. The whole album maintains the original Dire Straits'
bluesy and laid back guitar-based sound whilst retaining a more lavish and
bombastic production and overall sound. The album is the band's best
selling album.

Brothers in Arms was one of the first albums to be directed at the CD
market, being the first full digital recording (DDD) released, although not
the first recording digitally recorded and mastered. It was also released on
vinyl and cassette.

Brothers in Arms was the first album to sell one million copies in the CD
format and to outsell its LP version. A Rykodisc staffer would subsequently
write, "[In 1985 we] were fighting to get our CDs manufactured because the
entire worldwide manufacturing capacity was overwhelmed by demand for
a single rock title (Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms)."

It was remastered and released with the rest of the Dire Straits catalogue
in 1996 for most of the world outside the U.S. and on September 19, 2000
in the United States. It was also released in Super Audio CD format on July
26, 2005 and DualDisc format on August 16, 2005, winning a Grammy for
Best Surround Sound Album.
