The Ultimate Sting Album

Hi all, That time of the year again - my thread starts the brain cells at a trot and then propels them to a near fatal sprint ... I posted a mail about 2 years ago, asking each of you to compile what you would consider THE ultimate album, compiled with nothing but Sting's finest - but with a twist .. the response was outstanding, and with the release of All This Time and Sacred Love, its time to jump start the brain cells again. So on we go. Criteria are simple - ( Note, you MUST adhere to the below - it makes it more difficult but it shows a real fan just how much they actually like a song when given a choice) 1. You must only pick 10 tracks + 2 bonus (free choice) 2. Tracks can only be picked from Sting's solo albums (listed below) 3. No Police tracks are allowed (exception, you can choose a track from All This Time) 4. This is the way the tracks MUST be chosen, Track 1, must be chosen from all tracks listed at No.1 from the following Sting solo albums, (Dream Of the Blue Turtles, Bring On The Night, Nothing Like The Sun, The Soul Cages, Ten Summoner's Tales, Mercury Falling, Brand New Day, All This Time, Sacred Love) Track 2, must be chosen from all tracks listed at No.2 Track 3, must be chosen from all tracks listed at No.3 .... Track 4, etc,etc eg: Track 1 to be chosen from the following - If You Love Somebody Set Them Free (Dream Of The Blue Turtles) Bring On The Night/When The World Is Running Down (Bring On The Night) The Lazarus Heart (Nothing Like The Sun) Island Of Souls (The Soul Cages) If I Ever Lose My Faith In You (Ten Summoners Tales) The Hounds Of Winter (Mercury Falling) A Thousand Years (Brand New Day) Fragile (All This Time) Inside (Sacred Love) 5. Bring On The Night is classed as 1 full album, Tracks 1 to 14 6. Enjoy! 7. STICK TO THE CRITERIA - or I will not accept the album, and send reply's to me first for verification (ha!) 8. If you feel up to it - create an album title. (... and for those of you who might have forgotten the track listing on the albums (shame on you) I have listed all of them below - how nice am I?)

RE: [Police] Ultimate Sting Album

Love this idea! The only amendments I'd suggest would be adding the original version of When We Dance, and This Cowboy Song, to the pool of possible choices, though I can see that given the track numbering system, they'd inevitably have to be chosen as bonus tracks. In the end this is very tough to call; where it's come down to picking between a favourite track and the best track, the best track won out. I'd still buy this. :-p 1. If I Ever Lose My Faith In You 2. Desert Rose 3. Fields Of Gold 4. I Was Brought To My Senses 5. They Dance Alone 6. Seven Days 7. Consider Me Gone 8. When We Dance 9. Ghost Story 10. Shape Of My Heart Bonus: 11. Fragile ("...All This Time" version) 12. All This Time ("The Soul Cages" version) Angeline _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.

mp3 issues
by tj7 08 Apr '04

08 Apr '04

Hi there Carlo, thanks for your suggestions. I have thought about this, and i have been annoyed in the past to find that the cd i waited for 6 weeks to arrive contains a bit of "mp3 squish". that was a while ago, however, and i have this to say about mp3: when people use 128 you can tell. end of story. most mp3 servers will not accept 128 based mp3s anymore - and mine certainly won't. if you use a recently updated encoder and set it to output at a minimim of 192 it is extremely difficult to hear the difference - and let's face it - most of these live recordings are a bit crackly and mangled by tape duplication after tape duplication anyway. i can honestly say that i know my copy of the august 1980 "bring on the night" police show was sourced from mp3 (encoded at variable bit rate - very high quality) and i just can't tell. it sounds that good. basically, i hear what you are saying - i intend to set rules to ensure all members encode their material at a minimum of 192 or maybe even 256 / vbr if it is an exceptional live recording, and i won't accept less than 192 in any situation. don't forget there will be a section of the backup server for scans of pics and magazine articles that people just can't get hold of as well, and these ceratinly won't be able to invade the "trade market" as they will be isolated files from the original magazines they came from! basically your concerns are based on the supposition that people are going to make audio cds from these mp3 based files and then try and trade them physically and that is not what my project is about at all. i may be annoyed at times by how hard it is to satisfy traders, but at the end of the day i respect how long they have spent finding elusive releases. and they willl always have those beautiful 45's and 33s.... i just want to start making some actual _music_ available.... i have thought about bit-torrent but i have no idea how to set that kind of thing up - and anyway, i actually would rather use high quality mp3 files than shn or flac files. 99% of the music i find through BT is in mp3 form anyway. cheers and stay tuned....

>But I AM Sting. Is that like, "I'm Spartacus!". ;D Really, I think it would be great to have access to things-- besides having to try to come up with something to trade. I think the reason why they don't just sell copies is because of the grief some people have given (too much shipping cost or too high offering price, etc.). It would be nice if someone could sell me a copy of the recent Warner Theatre show.... I'm no complainer. :) Teri ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand! Surf the Web up to FIVE TIMES FASTER!
