At its core is “Private Investigations,” the group’s cult balearic-classic — a noirish, spacious piece that drifts between silence and surge, acoustic shadow and electric flare. Built on tension, texture and Mark Knopfler’s cinematic guitar phrasing, it has long been a secret weapon for deep selectors and late-night dreamers.

“Love Over Gold” remains one of Dire Straits’ most atmospheric achievements: expansive, meticulously arranged and carried by a mood that lingers long after the final notes dissolve.
