It is hedonistically enjoyable and bears repeated listening. The music is not anything like a Dire Straits album, but is beautifully evocative of the small town in northern Scotland where the movie is set. Kent, David (1993).

Following a string of three multi-platinum albums with Dire Straits— Dire Straits (1978), Communiqué (1979), and Making Movies (1980)—Knopfler, the group's lead singer, guitarist, songwriter, and producer, began to look for new musical challenges and opportunities. In early 1982, his manager wrote to several film directors indicating that Knopfler was interested in writing film music. Producer David Puttnam responded, and after reviewing the Local Hero project, Knopfler accepted the job. [6] [7] Following the completion of Dire Straits' fourth album, Love Over Gold, recorded from 8 March to 11 June 1982, Knopfler began work on the film's music. He invited Gerry Rafferty to be the lead vocalist on the song, "The Way It Always Starts". In 2000, Rafferty invited Knopfler to provide rhythm guitar and lead fills on what would be his final studio album, Another World.

Which brings me to another reason I took a chance on this - the collaboration with Gerry Rafferty - who can usually be counted on to at least sound interesting. Not here. His performance is uninspired, and if Knopfler was trying to write for him then perhaps Mark is to blame for a setting that shows off none of Rafferty's positive sides.
