Re: [Police] Sting's high point
Glad to hear you say that Karel because I, who you know adores all things Sting, have also never heard a remix of his music that I liked....I don't even download them if presented with the opportunity. Why is it that the remixes suck so much? Is it that Sting's music just doesn't lend itself to remix, is it that the person(s) doing the remix themselves do it poorly......given that I know very little about the process, I'm really curious about this.

Hi all! I really loved reading those posts with all your diverse opinions. To me, the best album (by far) is TSC. Although I don't listen to it too much, because I find it quite depressing. The album I listen least to is NLTS. Not that it's boring. Or maybe.. yes. And after these last months, everything that starts with those infamous four notes (Fragile) is skipped. ;) Well.. I''m very curious how the new album will turn out!

are you talking about remixes, where they take the actual recording and mix it differently, or new arrangements, where they play the same song but play it differently? i love the different arrangements of DSSCTM that sting has done, and also the one the police did in '86. i also think his different arrangements of Fragile are done really well, esp the one on his new live cd. i generally don't like the remixes- esp the club mixes. on 2/19/02 1:00 PM, Anne Robinson at arobinson@caci.com wrote:
