Profound!

Review Score: (10/10)
I first listened his work in Japanese guitarman's concert. His name was Kanji Ohmura. Through him I came to know he instrumental music the theme of "Local Hero"[soundtrack of Motion Picture, Yes, Movie itself was pretty nice one]. Actually I know nothing about Dire Straits, and I expected other "Local Hero"s from this CD. I was wrong. It is different from it. But same in profoundly deep spot in the heart. His message from disc is, I believe, 'love your family, homeland, yourself.'

Especially I like 'Rudigar' and 'Are We in trouble Now?' (What a lovely song!). Irisf fiddle and whistle and harp sound good, too. If you'd like to get old beautifully, you'll like it.
