Local Hero reserved.

 Late last week was exceptionally warm even this more temperate region of the UK hovering around twenty nine degrees c (this is a fahrenheit free zone) so a few things got put on the backburner as it rather messed my sleep up.

You didn't really feel like having lots of rings on cooking when you felt like eating.

Eventually an item I had ordered a while back arrived that I was pleased about.

I did mention way back around Christmas twenty nineteen about getting the first four Dire Straits albums on Super Audio cd.

Recently the hauntingly beautiful soundtrack to the Bill Forsyth film Local Hero by Mark Knopfler of that group with its pipes and Ceilidh Celtic highlands feel from 1983 was issued in that format in addition to lp.

The film is about an American oil company representative who is sent to the fictional village of Ferness on the west coast of Scotland to purchase the town and surrounding property for his company.

It features the composition Going Home which as used as a refrain in the Dire Streets double album concert release Alchemy in 1984 and the song The Way It All Goes is sung by Gerry Rafferty.

This is the very best the soundtrack has sounded being otherworldly at times.
