Absolutely Superb - A Great Listen
I have to say at first I wasn't really sure about this album, it's only 24 minutes long and it was written for a film, it might not be that enjoyable to listen to! Boy was I wrong! It may only be 24 minutes but what a 24 minutes! There's only 1 song on the album (Wag The Dog), the rest are instrumental, but I found I was listening to them all over and over again. There's some Chet Atkins in there, some Shadows, and of course there's Knopfler's own unique style. Particular favourites of mine are Working On It and In The Heartland, although they are all first class. Mark Knopfler, I salute you. Everybody else, buy this album right now, you will not be disappointed.
Mark knopfler at his best
As this was a film score for an American movie I was unsure what to expect. I should have known better. This is classic Mark Knopfler. From first play it is top quality with Knopfler's unique ear for a catchy tune as usual to the fore. He makes it all sound so easy. If you liked Princess Bride - you will love this.
A fine soundtrack to a superb film...
'Wag The Dog' is one of my favourite films, and I watch it regularly. It has all the elements I find appealing - politics, intrigue, skullduggery, impeccable performances from the entire cast. And, of course, this evocative soundtrack by the multi-talented Mr. Knopfler.
Yes, at 24 minutes, it might be a tad short for those who expect a full hour from an audio CD. But what an excellent 24 minutes! If you are into the film, or merely just interested in Mr. Knopfler's work - both with Dire Straits and solo projects, this CD is a must-have. Just set your player onto 'REPEAT' and you'll get your fill!
