Dire Straits - Live at the BBC (1995)



The album was released in 1995, the year in which the group officially disbanded. From Mark Knopfler's own words, this album was released because the defunct Dire Straits still owed an album to PolyGram (now Mercury). This album was a means to end the legal contract, before Mark Knopfler began his solo career (still signed to Mercury).

The first seven tracks were recorded for the BBC "Live In Concert" series on July 22nd 1978. Track 8, "Tunnel Of Love" was recorded for the BBC-TV program "Old Grey Whistle Test" on January 31st 1981.

This record features one unreleased song, a co-written track with brother David, "What's The Matter Baby?" It is the only co-written song in Dire Straits history. (There are two other Dire Straits songs on which Mark Knopfler shared writing credits -- "Money for Nothing" and "Tunnel of Love" - but in each case the song itself is entirely by Knopfler with only a small contribution to the backing or arrangement by the other credited artist.)

1. "Down to the Waterline" – 4:10
2. "Six Blade Knife" – 3:47
3. "Water of Love" – 5:29
4. "Wild West End" – 5:12
5. "Sultans of Swing" – 6:38
6. "Lions" – 5:26
7. "What's The Matter Baby?" (D. Knopfler, M. Knopfler) – 3:20
8. "Tunnel of Love" (Intro: "Carousel Waltz" by Rodgers & Hammerstein) – 11:56

Tori Amos - Abnormally Attracted To Sin (2009)



ABNORMALLY ATTRACTED TO SIN, Tori's tenth studio album, is another innovative chapter in the artist's trailblazing story. Every track on the album will be accompanied by a corresponding `visualette,' featuring footage that has been captured over the past year. Shot in HD and Super 8, the visualettes will incorporate a documentary style. Tori's most recent album, AMERICAN DOLL POSSE, which has been hailed by Rolling Stone magazine as `her best album in years,' was released in 2007 to a chorus of rave reviews. The captivating album, like many of her previous efforts, adhered to a strong conceptual theme, with Tori inhabiting multiple archetypal female personae, a testament to her willingness to continue to push the boundaries of the female singer/songwriter.
