Written and performed to accompany the film Local Hero, the iconic guitarist\u2019s first soundtrack continues to serve as one of the decade\u2019s most prized scores. Seeking to expand beyond the parameters of his band, Knoplfer taps into a global economy of structures and sounds, and takes anyone with a sense of adventure along for the ride. And what a scenic trip it becomes via the broad palette of Celtic-themed effects, supplemental jazz accents, and folk inflections.<\/p>\n<p>Mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity\u2019s numbered-edition 180g LP\u00a0 give the beloved effort audiophile-grade sound on a par with the reference-quality sonics afforded Dire Straits\u2019 Mobile Fidelity reissues. In each arrangement, Knopfler\u2019s methodical guitar work emerges with supreme transparency and multi-hued textural detail. The intricate notes, finger-picked passages, and cosmopolitan lines come across as if they\u2019re transmitted just feet away. Knopfler\u2019s acoustically and electrically woven tapestries significantly benefit from the newfound airiness, openness, and balance. No matter the instrument or treatment, the music arrives with pinpoint imaging and vibrant liveliness. Close your eyes, and Local Hero projects movies in your head.<\/p>\n<p>Tracklist:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ng-star-inserted\">01. The Rocks and the Water<\/li>\n<li class=\"ng-star-inserted\">02.
