Yep, I retract what I said about Contact. A Kind Of Loving is the winner. Loser. Thingy. Come to think of it, since I uploaded the boxed set to the computer, it must be on here somewhere... god, I must get that deleted in case it gets thrown up by the randomiser. *shudder* As for Strontium 90, I generally like that, especially the sheer energy of 3 O'Clock Shit. That's one of my favourite Police tracks, actually. Also love the ELTSDIM demo. Electron Romance and New World Blues are nice, too.

Talking About "Mother"
by Asisthos - Gustavo Enriquez 30 Jun '04

30 Jun '04

When we talk about the freak track "Mother", we must consider that the first Summers-Fripp collaboration album (I advance masked) was released in 1982. If some of you know the music of the 80?s King Crimson (the most creative prog band, lead by Robert Fripp) you can associate it inmediately with a lot of tracks of the 1983?s Synchronicity: Walking In Your Footsteps by Sting, is another example. Best Gustavo. PD: Please, be kind to edit your messages when replying. Thanks.

Re: [Police] Worst Police Song

When I was a teenager, I use to make Police tapes to play in the car. When Synchronicity came out, I definitely included Mother. My best friend and I were sitting in the back seat when that song came on. My parents were in the front seat, and my Dad was like "what that hell is that!?" We just laughed really hard. Andy plays a killer base in Mother, and I always thought it was kind of wild. On the other hand, Be My Girl Sally, I can only listen to the beginning. I haven't heard the rest in years, yet can still repeat the first verse: "I was low and lonely. I couldn't sleep a wink. And I could only get unconscious, If I'd had too much to drink." (Sometimes, Andy as a lyric writer reminds me of Ringo Starr. :D ) I definitely agree the worst is A Kind of Loving though. I don't think anyone who isn't a tad sadistic would enjoy listening to that one. I think from Sting's point of view there's very little "angel" in Martin Taylor.

A Kind of Loving, definitely. Visions of the Night, great off of Police Academy. Regatta is by far the best album. Heard Sting do 'Hole In My Life' in Denver and my buddy and I were some of the minority standing on our chairs goin' nuts...... chrisorange(a)rogers.com wrote:From: To: Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2004 14:13:50 -0400 CC: Subject: [Police] Worst Police Song IMHO I think the worst Police song has to be A Kind of Loving off the Brimstone and Treacle soundtrack...

Love Canary in a Coalmine, Masoko Tanga.... Still stand by "Mother" as being my least fav! I can understand the musical interest, because it does express angst quite well. Funny how all of us have come up with such a variety of "least favs"! I'm shocked by some of them!

New World Blues and Electron Romance. Very good. Also enjoy hearing 3 o'clock shot, which has the music to Be My Girl and the words to Oh My God!!!

Voices has got to be one of my all time favs. That bass line just gets me now matter how many times I listen to it. What about Strontium 90? Anybody have any opinions about that early work?
