Ciao a tutti from Giovanni. I look forward to a New Sting album; I can only imagine what he is capable of after a Police tour. Same for Stewart and Andy. The Police are the past, sorry but The Police 'we want' is something from the past; why do you think they are not thinking about working on a new record? Simple: no great ideas probably, nothing that can push the name higher than where is now; the band did the best ever in the Eighties, did a fabulous reunion tour....what else? And why? Remember: there is always a number of fans that will be disappointed if they will or they won't release a new album or many other reasons. I simply trust their creativity and cleverness; the fact that they do not release an album is a sign that a new album won't be that interesting; if they will change their minds and will decide to do it, that means they found a good creative reason.

I think that the power that comes when combing the three talents, are more than evident. But musically speaking, I think that Sting has or feels more freedom when he's doing it by his own, and I really like that. I like that he explores with bossa, jazz, with rock, with punk, with medieval, with celtic, with arabic, even with country music. (the only thing I didn't like was the over use of loops/electronics in the Kipper-era). Something that I think that he can't do with The Police. I'm a huge fan of Stewart's drumming (I consider him a great influence on me), and I also admire Andy's playing, but I still believe that Sting's talent is a bit trapped in the style of The Police. Haivng the opportunity to mis hist alent with so many others (Dominic, Chris Botti, Manu, Vinnie, etc) gives him the ooportunity to explore more, and I really like that, that's one of the things I like from Sting's solo music, that is you never know what you are going to hear in a new CD when you click "next". I really hope that he comes soon with a new solo album. Well that's just my humble opinion. javier.
