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.
Giovanni

Subject: Re: [Police] A few
thoughts
yeah great response...another sting album like a hole in the head
we need a Police album not another boring STing album
sting needs to wake up to the challenge
This
argument is interesting, because from my point of view,
musically
sepaking, Sting's solo music is in a very high level, his
songs are
actually used as examples of arranging, in music schools at
the level of
Berklee.
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.
