It is true that Knopfler doesn’t do as much to the songs hes written as on other albums–his guitar playing does not feature the same consistently bubbling energy of his work on the first album. Whilst being unnecessarily self-deprecating, this has an element of truth about it and at the same time is precisely what is so engaging about the album. ![]() Yet even Knopfler has said of this album that the tropical breezes made his song writing “lazy”. Recording took place in the Bahamas with top production team Jerry Wexler and Barry Beckett and mixing at the famous Muscle Shoals studio it consequently features a delicate and supremely balanced sound. Recorded a mere nine months after their debut, Communique has often been written off as a mere carbon copy of the Dire Straits’ first album featuring less compelling material.
