Usually Canadian material lags behind the rest of the world, but I have to
confess this DVD really threw me off.
First there is the King of Pain Video. Although rather poor quality image
it looked like it would have been cool. Sting as Napoleon was interesting.
Too bad they never finished it as it looked like it had promise.
But the real treat of course was the Demos' for Synch. Every Breath you
take on a Hammond Organ? King of Pain without Piano? Wrapped with Violin?
All very different. While all super cool, I think they went the right way
with the final releases of the songs. Except for the song we all know as
"Oh My god". Extremely similar accept with a piano intro and a chorus
ending with "April Fools."
