Geistlich Chormusik
Sacred Choral Music / Motets de la «Musicalia ad chorum Sacrum», Dresden, 1648
Kleine geistliche Konzerte (*)
petits Concerts spirituels (1636-39) Rushed out less than nine months after the surprise success of Dire Straits' self-titled debut album, the group's sophomore effort, Communiqué seemed little more than a carbon copy of its predecessor with less compelling material. Mark Knopfler and Co. had established a sound (derived largely from J.J. Cale) of laidback shuffles and intricate, bluesy guitar-playing, and Communiqué provided more examples of it. But there was no track as focused as "Sultans of Swing," even if "Lady Writer" (a lesser singles chart entry on both sides of the Atlantic) nearly duplicated its sound. As a result, Communiqué sold immediately to Dire Straits' established audience, but no more, and it did not fare as well critically as its predecessor or its follow-up. |
