Yes, I've had a chance to listen to the new Dire Straits EP, and in my
opinion, it is HOT.  I liked their first LP... at the time it appealed
to me as something fresh and innovative.  But their second and third LP's
seemed a little lacking in energy...  But not so on the new disc.  Some-
one must've slipped Knoppfler (sp?) some happy pills or something.  The
opening cut, "Twisting By The Pool" is fantastic.  Sort of a poppy
dance number with Dire Straits trademark vocal and guitar sounds.  The
other three songs on the EP are also quite good... all in differing
styles... but with the characteristic D.S. sound.
