Pity that everyone seems to have forgotten them nowadays... They did what they did superbly and Knopfler was a true virtuoso with his instrument...
Best song: "Your Latest Trick". That's sweet sound and excellent lyrics.
Their best album is "Brothers In Arms"
One of my favourite bands and Alchemy is my favourite album
