review of the single So Far Away by Mike Gardener.

Dire Straits: So Far Away (Vertigo) If Ry Cooder had performed this laconic lament, the warmth could solve the energy crisis. Instead Dire Straits tackle it their usual immaculately manicured style that refuses to touch anything so messy as a soul.

review of the single So Far Away by Peter Martin

Dire Straits: So Far Away (Phonogram) There's something really off-puuting about this slick, laid back, sleepy, Adult-Orientated Rock business. It's all very professional and everything, and it could almost pass for Roxy Music (except for Mark Knopfler's dozy, twangy guitar and voice) but it makes me feel about a hundred years old. Yawn.
