good but incomplete
I like all the instrumental tracks to this album. i appreciate Mark Knopfler's fitting compoition and the jingle-jangle Django lounge tunes as much as anyone should. But it is lacking in some of the edgy punk that reflected the current setting of the story, which contrasted that much more with the suburban lifestyle. Remember the Subverts? Where are they on this album? I hate when some of the best, hardest-to-find songs of a movie are left out of a soundtrack.


Be sure to VIEW THE FILM!
However, it is still very good, but the caveat is do not buy unless you have seen or plan to see the film. This is not Knopfler's strongest soundtrack -- I'd credit LOCAL HERO, CAL or WAG THE DOG with that honor. Taken on its own, the music may not be that interesting to some listeners. Placed in the context of the (poignant and underrated) film, it is excellent.


M. Knopfler is doing a good job , but could have been better
K, is not whith so much at this album, well ok on a couple of songs. M. The other artists is absolutely not so good as him. Elvis Costello well, i guess he's allright, a little. the others is not so good. The tracks whith M. K and the other dire straits members , did always good music, this record has no chance in comparation whith them. But this record is not so bad, it's a very good album. another good soundtrack. why not buy it? bye. /a fan.


Rejoice Musak fans!
At least Masak fans can rejoice while listening to the first Masak inspired jingle, Metroland Theme, which is just perfect for reminiscing nostalgically about the last time you lounged in your dentist's chair having that cavity filled, the morning spent in the elevator, last week grocery shopping, etc. As for the rest of the album? Seriously, I have not heard such interesting musicianship since the last time I listened to a lounge band at a Holiday Inn. .
