from what I know they all get the bare naked tracks or midi's meaning that they can actually play with every single instrument and voice ... if you know what Mr P Daddy did with this, then he should be ashamed, actually quite hard to understand how he raped Roxanne, who the hell approved such rubbish ... the same with the let your soul be your pilot remixes ... as u already know i didn't like the MF album but those remixes were completely insane ... and actually were dropped on several cd-singles, as if to persuade fans to just buy all the singles to find out ... they bought crap, 25 minutes long. anyway, more real b-sides, meaning real songs, are more than welcome like the catchy If You There proved to be.

Glad to hear you say that Karel because I, who you know adores all thingsSting, 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 reallycurious about this. _
In my honest opinion, the highest point was "The Soul Cages" album because it contains some of Sting's masterpieces: "All this time", "Mad about you" and, above all, "Why should I cry for you?" (my favourite song). As for singles and songs, I think that "They Dance alone" stated one of the highest points in Sting's career. That song impresses me everytime I listen to it. Songs like "Valparaiso", "Fields of gold", "Desert Rose" and "Russians" are fantastic too. However, I think Sting has changed the aims of his songs. In his firsts albums he attacked politics ("Russians"), he spoke about Humans Rights ("They dance alone", perhaps in "Children's crusade") and he composed one of the most beautiful songs in the history of music ("Fragile"), but from "Ten summoner's Tales" to now he hasn't composed "deep" songs although he has made very good songs. The lower point is perhaps the remix of Roxanne in 1997. Horrible, in my opinion. Cheers. Juanma.
