Hi, I was watching last year's great BBC dokumentary this evening and found the sentence about the "disappointment that Communiqu

[Banjo99uk]

Im always torn between communique and love over gold for my favourite DS album. When I was a kid I spent alot of time by the sea fishing listening to communique.

[Hophead]

Couldn't agree more...I've always felt that Communique is the most under-appreciated of all the DS albums. I would love to hear "Single Handed Sailor", "News", "Where do you think you're going" or "Once upon a time in the west" dusted off and played live again  ..not gonna happen..but fun to think about the possibility  .

communique is my most favorite DS album of all time and IMO the best !  Every song is a gem. 

[superval99]

It's my favourite DS album too!       

[Fletch]

There's nothing not to love about their second LP. I think the negative press came from the lack of a single, equal to that of Sultans. But really, the whole record is a cohesive gem, and the fluidity of Marks playing on this record is incredible.
Definitely one to take if stuck on a desert island.

Communique has always been my favourite.
Closely followed by either 'Dire Straits'
or 'Love over gold'.

Cheers. BBB

lol, yeah shame ONLY sold about 8 million copies.... lamo. People would kill to sell that many albums. It's highly regarded as my fav DS album (although we all know it's impossible to really have a fav). Luckily I was only 3 when the album came out, so I was never the wiser about its apparent disappointment. Amazing album, with Lady Writer, News and the wonderful Single Handed Sailor

I too was only 3 when it was released and guessed that maybe the fans that liked the slightly rougher edged sound of the first album were a little disappointed by the smoother sound of Communique.  At least that's what I thought at the time.

I certainly prefer the first one, followed by Making Movies and LOG.  There are too many average tracks on Communique for me like News, Follow me Home, Angel of Mercy but also some great songs too like Single Handed Sailor and Once Upon a Time...  Of course having said all that it's still a great album and when I say "average tracks" I mean in comparison to the best tracks on the album!

Communique is one of my favorite DS/MK albums.

It's been all downhill since then, I can assure you!
