DIRE STRAITS BROTHERS IN ARMS RAR PROFESSIONAL
Critical reception Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Reviews of Brothers in Arms from the UK music press in 1985 were generally negative. The album has spent a total of 356 weeks on the UK Album Charts. In 2015, the album re-entered the UK Album Charts at #8 following the record being made available at a discounted price on digital music retailers. Terry Williams' improvised crescendo at the beginning of 'Money for Nothing' was used on the record. He was therefore temporarily replaced by one of the most popular jazz session drummers of the time, who re-recorded the album's drum parts in two days and then left. According to a 2006 magazine interview with the co-producer/engineer of the album, then-permanent drummer ' performance was thought unsuitable for the desired sound of the album during the first month of the recording sessions. 'One mic was pointing down at the floor,' Dorfsman remembered, 'another was not quite on the speaker, another was somewhere else, and it wasn't how I would want to set things up-it was probably just left from the night before, when I'd been preparing things for the next day and had not really finished the setup.' What they heard was exactly what ended up on the record no additional processing or effects were used during the mix. While setting up the guitar amplifier microphones in an effort to get the ' sound' that Knopfler was after, guitar tech Ron Eve, who was in the control room, heard the 'amazing' sound before Dorfsman was finished arranging the mics. Knopfler was using his going through a Laney amplifier.
