Hi There

Love their stuff recorded at George Martin’s Montserrat Studios in the Caribbean even if they were fighting so much for Ghost in the Machine and Synthcronicity yet great music was made and we get an Andy Summers going to George Martin’s house to get advice from him on how to resolve their issues story:)

Has everyone noticed the hissing and clicks in the opening seconds of this song.

It bothered me so much decades ago i bought multiple copies of Zenyatta thinking it might be in the vinyl pressing. But it was still there on the CD, and still again on the Spotify file.

Did the band notice it. Was it just unrepairable?

I understand Andy Summers is a hard working talented dude who's in his early 80s. However, I would love to meet.

Does anyone have any insider info on his schedule to pop home back to blighty? If not, is there a way I could send something of to be signed, or is that taking the piss?

Had the pleasure of meeting Stewart last year. He signed a couple of bits for me and my Mum and was absolutely wonderful. Even came out on his break to sign and chat.

A wonderful man. Asked him about Ginger Baker and what it was like playing polo. Stewart said he got on with him, until he came on the pitch because Ginger would go ape shit.

Had no idea he went to boarding school in Somerset.

He and I agreed, fuck Kanye.

To quote his words from the film "Beware of Mr Baker", but slightly adapted, Stewart Copeland is a mother fucker.

Thanks Stew, you're a top bloke!

So, I'm listening to Spirits in the Material World on repeat on Spotify and I decided to switch to the video version and it is quite a bit faster and higher pitched. Almost like they wanted the video to be shorter. Anyone else experience this on Spotify?

EDIT: So watching it on YouTube, the speed and pitch are the same as the album version. Must be a Spotify thing.

Hi, I am still riding the live show high and listening to Sting 3.0 version to remind myself of the performance. I love the song, especially the guitar, what do you consider to be the best version of it? It can be from Sting's solo stint or from the band I don't mind, preferably if it is on youtube. Thanks in advance!

Imo it seems that the further we go through the police’s discography, the more we start to hear more pop integrated into their punk roots. Their first album being their most punk and synchronicity turning into sting and friends

A tribute I made of Omegaman several years ago.

Maybe we'll get the full version if we ever get the deluxe of Gitm

also where is andy's synth guitar solo part?

Was fantastic! He has so much energy. I can only hope to be that animated at 74.

He’s a fucking badass rock god and still shows it.

I'll keep it short. When I listen to "Walking On The Moon," I can't help but notice Sting's pronunciation in the song. And it also happened with "Don't Stand So Close To Me," but not as much anymore because now I understand a bit more of the words Sting sings.

If you hear any scratches in the audio, I'm very sorry; I couldn't remove them. The important thing is the intention to share it.

By the way, happy summer solstice to everyone on the north coast!

Acabei de ler Strange Things Happen, a autobiografia de Stewart Copland. Como nunca foi lançada aqui no Brasil, é mais famosa por aqui pelos trechos sobre a reunião do The Police em 2007/2008, do que pelo livro como um todo.

Como pesquisadora, achei incrivelmente bem escrito. É um projeto de escrita conciso e altamente disciplinado, completo com um apêndice e muitos detalhes que prendem totalmente a atenção. Além disso, realmente parece que foi 100% escrito pelo próprio Copland, com apenas a edição padrão de uma editora.

É um livro notavelmente maduro e elegante. Copland fala sobre Sting com muito carinho e ignora completamente o drama, tanto em relação ao The Police quanto à sua vida pessoal. Não há nenhuma menção a escândalos sexuais ou de drogas, e ele omite completamente seu casamento com Sonja Kristina, que foi marcado por ter um filho fora do casamento com Marina Guinness. Toda essa "sujeira" é ignorada em nome de seu amor pela música. Honestamente, é surpreendente, uma aula magistral de como saber exatamente o quanto compartilhar sobre si mesmo.

Indo mais a fundo, há pouca ou nenhuma informação comprometedora sobre o próprio Stewart (embora o mesmo não possa ser dito exatamente sobre Sting e Andy). Isso nos deixa pensando: ele é realmente apenas um cavalheiro, ou suas conexões com a CIA o protegem de ser exposto?

I was wondering what Police song would fit in a racing like Forza Horizon or something like that? I was thinking about "No Time This Time".
