I like when Dom talked about not liking Sting's interest in country music and that he (dom) does not like playing songs like Fill her up or I'm so Happy.

Don't Stand So Close To Me (Neil Christian Mix) - Cool unofficial remix, while not utilizing much of the original version beyond Sting's vocals and bits of the opening, its still cool. Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot (A&G Mix) - While Karel didn't like this, I do. King Of Pain (House Mix) - Yet another unofficial remix, but well worth downloading. This remix uses much more of the original version than the DSSCTM remix did, folks who want a dancy remix of this song should get on Audiogalaxy NOW and grab it. Roxanne (DMC House Nation Mix) - About 90% instrumental really, most of it being whoever remixed it's music and samples of Andy's guitar riffs. Enjoyable however. And dang... the bassline in this remix is really catchy. :) Mad About You (Remix) - Nnnniiicccceeeeeeee....... When We Dance (Classic Radio Remix) - Absolutely brilliant remix. After The Rain Has Fallen (Radio Remix) - Why this didn't become yet another smash hit is beyond me.... After The Rain Has Fallen (Tin Tin Out Mix) - Sounds more like an alternate version than a remix to me. And now for the HORRIBLE remixes.... Roxanne 97 - Need I comment... <vomit> Brand New Day (Cornelious Mix) - File this one under as "WHAT THE HELL?" Too Much Information (White Label Mix) - Don't even bother downloading it... Voices Inside My Head (White Label Mix) - WHAT THE HELL AGAIN? I Was Brought To My Senses (Radio Mix) - Talk about RUINING a great song. Angel C.

Indeed Teri, actually I forgot those ,-)) those voices remixes are brilliant as well but those IYLSSTF remixes were just top quality, just like all remixes from those time that sounded more like an extended version of the original song and not an unrecognisable mambojambo thing like most are nowadays ...

Sting
by SOMEDUDE20＠aol.com 20 Feb '02

20 Feb '02

Hello list, Since this seems to be a slow period, I figured I'd ask this; in your OPINION, what was Sting's low and high point in his career? You can also put this towards Stew or Andy, but I figured that since Sting is the most visible, I'd ask it about him. For example, I think Sting's TST album and tour was his high point. (What a great tour, but those were the days) I would use his last studio album and tour as a low point, but I think that has been said enough. So, I'll go with his remake of Demolition man for the movie Demolition man. In my OPINION I think the redone version was pure crap (as was the movie) but at least the EP had some live cuts with a rocking version of KOP. I am interested to hear what you think

Sting did drugs?
by SOMEDUDE20＠aol.com 20 Feb '02

20 Feb '02

I always thought that the King of Vain was to high and mighty to have done drugs. You know these famous people who write books have to include some king of "shocking" stuff to get NON sting fanatics to buy the book. I can see it know...Chapter 31, all the reasons I hate Stewart Copeland. I hope this isn't going to be a low point. COVER TO COVER Former English teacher Gordon Sumner has signed a $1.5 million deal with Bantam Dell to write his memoirs. You know him better as Sting. Though the book, due in 2004, is said to deal with his upbringing, his rock career, his activism, and his past drug use, it is not expected to be a tell-all. Which is good, because most people are probably tired of hearing about his marathon sessions of tantric sex.

Hey, wasn't that the name of an a-Ha song/album? (Actually, it was Hunting High and Low - 80s trivia queen). High - Any live version of King of Pain hysterical Compaq "equity of your Sting-ness" self- deprecating (and prophetic) commercial Nothing Like the Sun Ghost in the Machine Low - Singing with Backstreet Boys Jag commercial Puff Daddy Roxanne remix Monday Night Football commentary (?) I Hung My Head (sorry, still hate this song) Didn't he also sing with Christina Aguilara? Ick. Maggie
