Recording [edit]

"Brothers in Arms" was recorded at the now-abandoned AIR Studios in Montserrat (pictured in 2013) which was home to many famous artists and bands in the late '70s and '80s.

Brothers in Arms was recorded from October 1984 to February 1985 at AIR Studios on the isle of Montserrat, a British overseas territory in the Caribbean.[8] The anthology was produced by songwriter Mark Knopfler and Neil Dorfsman, who had engineered Dire Straits' 1982 album Love over Golden and Knopfler's 1983 soundtrack album Local Hero.[9]

Brothers in Arms was one of the first albums recorded on a Sony 24-track digital record car. The decision to move to digital recording came from Knopfler's constant striving for better sound quality. "Ane of the things that I totally respected about him," Dorfsman observed, "was his interest in technology every bit a means of improving his music. He was always willing to spend on loftier-quality equipment."[ix]

Before arriving at Montserrat, Knopfler had written all the songs and rehearsed them with the band. The studio lineup included Knopfler (guitar), John Illsley (bass), Alan Clark (piano, Hammond B-3 organ and synthesisers) and Guy Fletcher, who was new to the band, playing a synth rig that consisted of a huge new Yamaha DX1, a couple of Roland synthesizers and a Synclavier. Guitarist Hal Lindes left the band early on in the sessions, and was replaced in December 1984 past Jack Sonni, a New York-based guitarist and longstanding friend of Knopfler (although Sonni'southward contribution to the album was minimal).[x] The group's drummer Terry Williams was present at the start of the sessions, earlier being temporarily replaced.[11]

The studio itself was small, with a xx-by-25-foot (6 1000 × 8 m) recording space that offered virtually no isolation. "It was a expert-sounding studio," Dorfsman later recalled, "but the main room itself was naught to write habitation about. The sound of that studio was the desk-bound," referring to the Neve 8078 board.[9] Knopfler and Dorfsman utilised the express space to best effect, placing the drum kit in the far left corner, facing the command room, miked with Sennheiser MD 421s on the toms, an Electro-Voice RE20 and AKG D12 on the kick drum, a Shure SM57 and AKG C451 with a xx dB pad on the snare, 451s for overheads and the hello-hat, and Neumann U87s set up back a niggling to capture "some kind of ambience".[9] They placed the piano in a tight booth in the far right corner of the studio, miked with AKG C414s. The Hammond B3 was placed nearby, with its Leslie speaker crammed into an airlock next to the command room. Illsley's bass amplifier was recorded inside a small vocal booth with a Neumann FET 47 and a DI unit. Knopfler's amplifiers were miked with 57s, 451s, and Neumann U67s. Fletcher's synths were placed in the control room.[ix]

During the recording of "Money for Naught", the signature sound of Knopfler's guitar may have been enhanced past a "happy accident" of microphone placement. Knopfler was using his Gibson Les Paul going through a Laney amplifier. While setting upwardly the guitar amplifier microphones in an effort to get the "ZZ Pinnacle sound" that Knopfler sought, guitar tech Ron Eve, who was in the control room, heard the "astonishing" audio before Dorfsman was finished arranging the mics. "One mic was pointing down at the floor," Dorfsman remembered, "some other was not quite on the speaker, another was somewhere else, and information technology wasn't how I would desire to set things up—it was probably just left from the night before, when I'd been preparing things for the next twenty-four hours and had not really finished the setup."[9] What they heard was exactly what concluded upwardly on the record; no boosted processing or effects were used during the mix.[9]

According to a Sound on Sound magazine interview with Neil Dorfsman, during the kickoff month of the recording sessions the performance of Terry Williams was considered to exist unsuitable for the desired sound of the anthology. Williams was non fired from the ring, only he was released from the recording sessions and temporarily replaced by jazz session drummer Omar Hakim, who re-recorded all the album's pulsate parts during a 2-day stay earlier leaving for other commitments.[9] Both Hakim and Williams are credited on the anthology,[12] although Williams' only contribution was the improvised crescendo at the starting time of "Money for Null". The remaining tracks all featured Omar Hakim every bit drummer.[13] In another interview Dorfsman said that Williams' fills and tom-toms were also used in the residual of the vocal.[14] Dorfsman and Knopfler made the decision to erase Williams' contributions and supplant them with those of Hakim; notwithstanding, all the music videos that were released from the album featured Williams.[11]

Although Andy Kanavan was briefly recruited as Dire Straits' new drummer, Terry Williams rejoined the ring for the promotional concert world tour.[12]

A lacking batch of recording tape at AIR Studios resulted in the loss of part or all of three album tracks, leading to follow-up sessions being recorded at the Power Station in New York during early 1985[10] (including the addition of a Jack Sonni guitar synthesizer part to 'The Homo's As well Strong')[ commendation needed ]. During this fourth dimension, overdubs were recorded with farther New York musicians including Michael and Randy Brecker, Mike Mainieri (who'd previously contributed vibraphone to Love Over Gold) and Jimmy Maelen, plus trumpeter Dave Plews and Average White Band saxophonist Malcolm Duncan. When Illsey sprained his wrist in a roller-skating accident, several prominent New York studio bassists were hired to record or re-record several basslines on the record (Tony Levin performing on 'One Globe',[10] with contributions elsewhere from Saturday Dark Live house ring bassist Neil Jason).

Composition [edit]

Brothers in Arms has been described musically as a popular stone album.[15] The music video for "Money for Nothing" received heavy rotation on MTV, and it was the first to be aired on MTV Europe when the network launched on one Baronial 1987.[16] It is 1 of only two Dire Straits songs on a studio anthology not to be solely credited to Knopfler (the other existence "The Carousel Waltz", which opens Making Movies), with invitee vocalist Sting given a co-writing credit due to the melody of the repeated "I want my MTV" (sung past Sting) in the vocal's fadeout echoing the melody of the Law's "Don't Stand up So Close to Me".[17]

"Walk of Life" was a number ii hit in the U.k. Singles Chart in early 1986 and a number seven hit in the United states Billboard Hot 100 afterwards that year. The song was nearly left off the album, but was included subsequently the ring out-voted producer Neil Dorfsman.

On the 2d side of the album, iii songs ("Ride Beyond the River", "The Homo'south Likewise Strong" and "Brothers in Arms") are lyrically focused on militarism. "Ride Across the River" uses immersive Latin American imagery, accompanied past synthesized pan flute, mariachi trumpet, a reggae-influenced drum part and eerie background noises. "The Man's Too Strong" depicts the character of an ancient soldier (or war criminal) and his fear of showing feelings as a weakness. Written during the 1982 Falklands War, "Brothers in Artillery" deals with the senselessness of war.[xviii] In 2007, the 25th anniversary of the war, Knopfler recorded a new version of the song at Abbey Road Studios to raise funds for British veterans who he said "are still suffering from the effects of that conflict."[19]

It was too released on vinyl (abridged to fit on i LP) and cassette. Producer Neil Dorfsman says the digital multitrack was mixed on an analog board with the resulting two runway mix re-digitized via a Prism A/D converter and recorded on a DAT car.

Brothers in Artillery was the first album to sell i million copies in the CD format and to outsell its LP version. A Rykodisc employee subsequently wrote, "[In 1985 we] were fighting to get our CDs manufactured considering the entire worldwide manufacturing capacity was overwhelmed by demand for a single stone title (Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms)."[22]

Initial reviews of Brothers in Arms from the Uk music printing in 1985 were generally negative. In a scathing review for NME, Mat Snow criticised Knopfler's "mawkish cocky-pity, his lugubriously mannered appropriation of rockin' Americana, his thumpingly crass attempts at wit". He also accused the album of the "tritest would-be melodies in history, the concluding word in tranquilising chord changes, the well-nigh cloying lonesome playing and ultimate in transparently false troubador sentiment ever to ooze out of a million-dollar recording studio".[37] Eleanor Levy of Tape Mirror dismissed the "West Coast guitars reeking of mega bucks and sell out stadium concerts throughout the globe. Laid dorsum melodies. Dire Straits – summed up... This is like any other Dire Straits anthology quarried out of the tottering edifice of MOR rock."[34]

The reviews from other UK music papers were less harsh, with Jack Barron of Sounds feeling that "information technology's only a halfway decent album considering information technology has but halfway decent songs... Knopfler has distilled his sonic essence, via blues, to entreatment to billboard romantics with cinemascope insecurities. And he can pull it off well... but not often enough here."[35] Melody Maker 'south Barry McIlheney observed that Knopfler had recently explored different creative directions with his work on movie soundtracks and on Bob Dylan's Infidels, and bemoaned that "this admirable spirit of adventure fails to materialise... Instead it sounds only a bit too like the last Dire Straits album, which sounded not unlike the terminal one before that, which sounded suspiciously like the beginning of a hugely successful and very lucrative plan to take over the globe known every bit AOR". He concluded, "the old rockschool restraints and the undeniably attractive odour of the winning formula seem to block out any such experimental work and what y'all end up with is something very like the aforementioned old story."[38]

US reviews were more positive. Writing for Spin magazine, Eastward. Brooks praised Knopfler's guitar work and noted that "when the intensity of his words approaches that of his ravishing stratocaster licks, the song soars. That doesn't happen as oftentimes as I'd like on this new album [...] but I observe myself returning to certain cuts the fashion 1 might come back to a favorite chair." Brooks singled out the "haunting ballad" "Your Latest Fox", the "acerbic satire of vid-rock culture" in "Money for Nothing" and the "outstanding craftsmanship in the words and music" of the title track, which was "not a new message, but at least something other than sexual practice, cars, or drugs is beingness talked about here. Take that and the quality of the musicianship, and you've got a lot."[39] Debby Balderdash gave the album a mixed review for Rolling Stone magazine, praising the "carefully crafted" effort, writing, "The record is beautifully produced, with Mark Knopfler's terrific guitar work communicable the best light". Although she establish the lyrics literate, Balderdash noted that the scenarios "aren't equally interesting as they used to be on records like Making Movies". Despite the product values and notable contributions from guest artists similar drummer Omar Hakim and the Brecker Brothers, Bull concluded that "the music lacks the ache that made Knopfler's recent soundtracks for Condolement and Joy and Cal so powerful."[40] In Rolling Rock 's end-of-year round-up of 1985'due south key albums, Fred Schruers said that "Knopfler's nimble, evocative guitar style and gentle vocalizing are even so every bit highly-seasoned as they were on previous scenario-rich albums".[41]

After reviews have praised the record. Reviewing the remastered Dire Straits albums in 1996, Rob Beattie of Q awarded Brothers in Arms five stars out of v and wrote that "repeated listening reveals it as a singularly melancholic collection – see the guitar slashing of 'The Human being'due south Too Strong' and the title track, where joy is every bit sharp as sorrow".[33] In a 2007 review for BBC Music, Chris Jones called Brothers in Arms "a phenomenon on every level... a suite of Knopfler's very fine make of JJ Cale-lite".[42] In his retrospective review for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave the album 4 out of five stars, crediting the international success of the album not simply to the clever estimator-animated video for "Coin for Nil", merely too to Knopfler'south "increased sense of popular songcraft". According to Erlewine, Dire Straits had "never been then concise or pop-oriented, and it wore well on them". Erlewine concluded that the anthology remains "ane of their near focused and accomplished albums, and in its succinct popular sense, it'due south distinctive within their itemize".[31]

In 2010, when Brothers in Arms was amid x albums nominated for the best British album of the past 30 years by the Brit Awards, music broadcaster and writer Paul Gambaccini described the list of nominees as "risible" simply added, "Brothers in Arms runs abroad with it for the quality of songwriting and musicianship."[43]

British music journalist Robert Sandall wrote:

"Looked at at present with 20/20 vision of hindsight, the image on the sleeve of Brothers in Artillery seems uncannily prophetic: that National steel guitar heading upwards into the clouds—a shiny 6 stringed rocket devoid of whatever obvious means of propulsion—describes, better than any words tin, what happened to Dire Straits later on the release of their 5th studio album. Upwardly till the summer of 1985 success had, for them, come every bit a by-product of the music making procedure. They had never courted celebrity, chased fads, or played safety. Dire Straits had been loved and respected equally one of the few bands to accept maintained potent and apparent links with the multifarious roots of rock and roll at a time—remember all the drastic pop posing of the early 80s?—when roots were emphatically not a fashionable place to be."[52]
