So yes, 100% digital recording, and an awesome one at that!

I have read somewhere it was recorded to both analogue & digital tapes (as you rightly say it was one of the first major label recordings on digital).

This backs up what you are saying: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brother..._Straits_album)

I personally don't think it's that great of a sound...seems like it's lost some warmth, kind of like Donald Fagen's Nightfly. Both amazing albums full of great songs, but both digital and lacking something IMHO.

Yeah I guess it does! (It could sound better but now I see this,I UNDERSTAND WHY!!)

The decision to move to digital recording came from Knopfler's constant striving for better sound quality.

Thats not the way to do it idiot!!

GUESS I MIGHT GET RID OF IT SINCE I HATE DIGITAL CRAP!!!!!!! -- I get records FOR A REASON!!!!!!!!!! (FOR BETTER ANALOG SOUND)


I THINK IT SUCKS THEY DIDNT SAY THAT ON THE ALBUM COVER!!!!!!!! (Its very sad they chose to ruin thier music like this)

Thank you guys,I am sorry I doubted you....... IT DIDNT SAY IT ON THE SLEEVE WHICH IS WHY I DIDNT REALISE IT!!
