I'll try to find it, I think it was somewhere in the early 90's.It's usually negative, even Guy and other DS members talk not good about that era. It was the start of the digital recordings and they were experimenting, it sounded great for that time, as it was cool, but years later they realised that it didn't sound that good, and they went back to analogue recordings, mixed with digital.It annoys me when this early digital recording era is criticised. That is not only evocative of the era but also extremely innovative too, and something DS with Neil Dorfsman were at the cutting edge in. They should be proud of it. I secretly think Guy is but pretends he isn't to promote the sonic quality of the most recent or upcoming album.

BIA is another example of a knopfler creation that in terms of sound is a whole little universe. We can argue about some of the songs, or arrangements, but the sound itself, like a soft fuzzy blanket still completely envelopes me. Like you I think it's the best example of digital era recording and still stands up to scrutiny today....
