Now I'n wondering if the secret project is a reunion album recording of Knopfler brothers.   :D

this morning I was listening to the album Communique with headphones on bike on the way to work.
It's one of my fav albums, but I hadn't listened to it for a while.
It struck me how good is the guitar interaction between Mark and David on this album, I think far more better than on the first one.

Rhythm interaction on Once upon a time : Mark on the left, David on the right. very groovy
Communique (the song) : very good playing by David (left channel, Mark is on the right) : nice arpeggions on the verse, funky rhythm on the bridge
Very very nice interplay by the two brothers on the 2nd solo on Angel of mercy : it sounds like they have fun together (Mark on the left, David on the right)
And sophitiscated rhythm interplay on Single handed sailor (Mark on the left, David on the right)

The two brothers at their best....

you remember the album "family style" by the Vaughan Brothers ? I know it's only a dream, and I don't even think of it, but hey...wouldn't it be amazing for the DS 40th anniversary, linked to the RoRHOF induction ?

Well all this family business aside at least it would be nice if Mark would guest on David's albums more, but really I just don't want to know the real state of their relationship, because I think the reality is pretty sad.

How is it really? They parted in a hostile atmosphere (82) and Mark played the first album of David "Release" in 1983?

I've always wondered about that.

There is more...

When the "Sultans Of Swing" compilation was released, DK released a note in his site telling that he has been left out of the benefits of it regarding the songs in which he plays, and that he brought that to the court.

About eleven years ago it was published that DK was auctioning the first MK guitar. Apparently it was left in their parents house and MK never went back to take it. That's why David had it. The auction was closed and during "Kill To Get Crimson" promo pictures, MK was pictured with that guitar and he included it in the "Guitar Stories" documentary.

In a BBC Documentary called "Brothers In Arms" about brothers in rock bands, David mentioned that they only met in weddings and funerals with a cold "Hi David" and that's all.

And that's only three stories we know.
You might get lucky, now and then

It is very interesting. The brothers often have a communication problem. I know something about it

Still,  that is not a total communication breakdown. If they want, they can. I stay positive on this one

It is true. I thought about it when I was watching this movie. Same movements, etc. I have not listened for a long time Davida.

I remember reading somewhere that Mark was too tough on David and his playing. We don't know how far it went, how hurt David got and stuff. We know very little in fact. Every family have issues and the Knopflers are no different. I just hope that one day they leave it all behind and start over. It's pretty clear that David is up to peace making.

  I do get the impression that David is pictured as the "victim" in here, maybe I'm wrong.
 
  What we do know is from David side, because he is the one often questioned about Mark and of course a co-founder of Dire Straits, but we never listen from Mark about it. Even if questioned, I doubt he will give an answer to please the tabloids curiosity.
 
  Remember it is Mark we are talking about, a very tough and strong personality. As any of us must have experienced in their own life, it is very hard to work and live close to such personalities, you either accept their greatness and find a way around to make your ideas forward (John Illsley), or you part ways and say you would like to explore your own ideas instead of working for those of some one else. The parting away might not be as graceful though, leaving scars which even time can not heal. Mark even had a fall out with Dylan after "Infidels", his own idol, that shows how strong he is and how much he believes in his own way. That does not mean he is always right, but one must have a really hard time to convince him otherwise.

  In his whole career Mark has taken solid decisions, producing his own albums as soon as it was possible for him, exploring new ways and arrangements album after album not afraid of public reaction, leaving Dire Straits at sabbatical at their peak to work on more down to earth projects, leaving them for good to pursue his own style splitting in the way with Ed Bicknell, a great manager.

  If the two brothers get together, it will be a great story, but if they can make great music together, that should be the aim, I am here for the love of Mark's music after all.

Everything is true. In one of the interviews, I remember how Mark, when asked about the cooperation with Bob Dylan, said that it was not easy cooperation.

Long forgotten now. They got along really well during their tour of last. The rest of the. And obviously did not, but mark DID interact with bob. The huge respect is mutual
