Hi there
I agree with some of your opinion .... still fond of Stewart's work and news ( see my site below) , interested by Andy's new projects ( waiting for Circa Zero) , considering Sting I'm a bit perplex though I still like his voice, but in
my opinion a bit deceived by the last attempts, as the man seems to repeat a lot ( Symphonicity tour ...) and I think the last good album was Mercury Falling ( though I like very much Songs from the Labyrinth and If on a Winter's night - remark that they were
only 'covers' album).
Waiting for a surprise ... You can visit :

À: mathew@wattobay.com, "SDFT" <police@mailman.xmission.com> Date: Jeudi 14 mars 2013, 10h12 Every now and then I send messages concerning Stewart (many of you know that I run his website), and even yesterday I sent a message concerning The Police (footage from people waiting outside the Palasport in Reggio Emilia in 1980 at their
concert).
In Italy when you listen to the radio it's very very easy to listen to a Police or Sting track, they are definitely broadcasted frequently; on the other side, I run the Italian website (http://www.illegaltales.com/)
and a very very active facebook page of the same name, and people write tons of messages every single day!
I don't know, maybe it's just because I never gave up following what's happening in their careers, even if there is something that I may dislike (my fb page is full of criticism and discussions are a weekly issue, as well as positive vibes
of course).
Some old-skool fans are still there, some others 'left the building' some time ago, but there are even new 'followers', and some of them are 16 years old (!!!).
I guess it's always a 'personal' view; we are not forced to follow a band forever, even Sting decided to give up working on solo albums, and I guess we may never see a new one like the old days...he has changed, people change; his new attitude
toward his discography is focused on someone else work, rearranging it. We can't tell him what to do, and we're not forced to like it, why should we? But there's nothing wrong with it.
The new album 'The Last Ship' will be something 'taken from the past' (The Soul Cages), revisited, increased in creativity, will be a musical...let's see; that's what Sting is up to do now; I am always very very curious about his work,
his moves are always full of ideas, new directions...that is what I like. I don't care about a new record like he used to do; if he's not working on something like that, I guess he's enough clever to avoid giving us something that is not at a certain level.
Gio
