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

Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms - RemasteredBrothers 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
