Sam, I have to disagree on the Straight to my heart comment. That is exactly what I call a brilliant song, especially live ... I remember that when I heard it live again during the TST-tour I was astonished by the "simple complexity", something I was discussing last night with a colleague at work as well (yes, Sunday is working day as well for some Greek IT companies) ... any later 7:4 efforts were quite boring imho ... I believe this is actually an issue that was not raised before, namely the fact that Sting does not succeed anymore in delivering complex but enjoyable songs ... I hope the new album will take musical elements from DBT, NLTS and TSC, after all, those were the best albums so far ... However, les couleurs et les gouts ne se discutent pas ,-)))) Geia, Karel ----- Original Message ----- From: Sam Kington <sam@illuminated.co.uk> Date: Monday, October 14, 2002 3:22 am Subject: Re: [Police] SABERA promo cd

Sting will be on this colaboration with a new re-version of Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot with Spanish guitarrist Vicente Amigo and the childrens of Sabera Foundation.Produced by Nacho Cano, the version is in my honest opinion another horrible Sting colaboration...the only interesting of that..another promo cd single for collectors.

I always thought Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot was a dreadful song anyway. At least Fill Her Up is a far better gospel song, proving Sting learns from experience, in the same way that any of the later 7:4 songs is better than Straight From My Heart.

(And I would like to point out that Sting is experimenting and learning from experience, unlike, say, the Rolling Stones. If that means we have the occasional duff song on an album, so be it.)
