5.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't matter if you don't know the film - buy the music, January 22, 2004

How good is this soundtrack by Mark Knopfler? Well, the movie (and it was a good little movie) came and went 19 (!) years ago, yet the CD continues to play over and over again here in my home. It's a beautiful, haunting set of instrumentation and melody, combining Knopfler's outstanding musical talents with his study of traditional Irish music. The result: hours and hours of re-listenable, never-tiring pleasure for your ears.

Even if you've never heard of the film, this is a soundtrack well worth picking up.

5.0 out of 5 stars YES, EMOTIONAL AND PEACEFUL, January 7, 2002

THE OTHER REVIEWS OF THIS ALBUM ARE ACCURATE. THIS IS A STELLAR
COLLECTION OF SONGS. GREAT MOOD MUSIC THAT IS EASILY ENJOYED BY ANYONE. THE SINGLE NEGATIVE REVIEW OF THIS ALBUM IS INCOMPREHENSIBLE--DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DISREGARD IT. FOR THOSE WHO REALLY ENJOY THIS ALBUM, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU CHECKOUT CHET ATKINS "SAILS", YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. IT CONTAINS A BIT MORE "HAPPY" SOUND, BUT THE GENTLE EMOTION AND TOUCH OF THE NYLON STRING GUITAR WORK AND SOFT AMBIENT KEYBOARD FEEL ARE VERY SIMILAR AND VERY PLEASING. LIKE THIS KNOPFLER ALBUM YOU FEEL SO VERY FORTUNATE TO STUMBLE UPON SUCH MEMORABLE AND RELATIVELY UNKNOWN MUSIC. MELODIC AND TRUE. NO HYPE.

I enjoy many different types of music and was intrigued to first hear this in a music store in California. It is the sound track from an obscure movie called "Cal." I recognized the Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits guitar on several cuts but there is also a very haunting Celtic feel. This is a relaxing, peaceful, soothing CD, one of my favorites.
