Granted 'Money for Nothing' is no 'Stairway to Heaven' but it is a song inspired by the times and what was happening to music because of Music Videos being shown on MTV. My view of *-Brothers in Arms-* is that it was an album more for fun and to take a break then an example of their past work but still having a serious song or two along side several pop songs. The album is basically half arena rock and half of their folk rock style. It was the first all DDD rock CD as well as one of the first albums to be released directly on CD instead of vinyl first. The album went to number 1 in the US, Canada, the UK, and all of Europe except to #4 in Italy. The song 'Money for Nothing' also went to #1. The CD is still in the all time top 10 albums in the UK and spent 228 weeks on the UK charts. Not a *-Dark Side of the Moon-* but over 4 years is pretty impressive. The XRCD version sounds great as does the DVD-A version. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73231 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
