Review of the 2002 album “The Ragicker’s Dream” by Mark Knopfler (of Dire Straights fame).

A Supertramp goes solo. Roger Hodgson’s songs ring with power, emotion, and wisdom; certain things cannot be learned–they simply must be lived.

Music Review. “The Friends of Mr. Cairo” by Jon & Vangelis is one of my top albums of all time. I’ve loved it from the first time I heard it, and I experienced an interesting phenomenon—you have a sense you know exactly what the lyrics mean, although you really don’t have a clue, and it doesn’t matter. Serenity drowns out the daily grind, and you flow with music that’s both powerful and soothing.
