November 1999 :: Music S-Z :: Sting (Sean Slone)
Sting Brand New Day A&M Brand New Day is full of contradictions. It is Sting's most musically adventurous disc in quite awhile, yet one of his dullest albums. Overproduced and over-arranged, it also sounds somehow less slick than recent efforts. The spacey synths and drum programs of opener "A Thousand ...

...All This Time (AMC). Review by Vanessa Bormann.
STING ...ALL THIS TIME AMC The hits we associate Sting with have been slowed down, lounged up, and now resurrected in breathy sweetness that we would normally expect only from songs like "Fragile." On ...All This Time, classics like "Roxanne," "Don't Stand So Close to Me," "If I Ever Lose My Faith ...

All good things come to an end, and bands are no exception -- often, it's a grisly, acrimonious end. Police uber-fan Ian Koss can't tear his eyes away from drummer Stewart Copeland's ultimate insider perspective on the rise and fall of one of the most unique bands to come out of the '70s.
EVERYONE STARES DIRECTED BY STEWART COPELAND starring Andy Summmers, Sting, Stewart Copeland UME Thwap! There's hardly a more distinctive sound in drumming than Stewart Copeland's snare hit, unless maybe it's his nimble hi-hat work, his gong-rock steady bass drum, or the overall way he manages to convey ...

Between his music and photography, how does ex-Police guitarist Andy Summers find time to get in trouble with Mexican drug cartel heavies? Ian Koss uncovers the story.
... listening to an entirely different record collection at home, but it still worked out. Drummer Stewart Copeland effectively held together bassist Sting's dubby bass and guitarist Andy Summer's jazzy riffs, and the schizophrenic mess had a sparse, energetic vibe that was hard to resist. Through each ...

Fly Below the Radar (Food Chain). Review by Sean Slone.
... impact. The spooky mood piece "Badlands" is an homage to Gram Parsons, reportedly inspired by a visit to Joshua Tree. "New Mexico" sounds like Sting transplanted to the desert southwest. There's also the western-themed album closer "Snake Buckle Belt" and Petty singing about driving in the plains of ...

November 1998 :: Music M-O :: Dean Madonia (Kurt Channing)
Dean Madonia Deep Sky Soft Monkey The post-it on this says "Toad the Wet Sprocket meets Elton John meets Tonic meets Sting," and I've had to say it's pretty accurate, in a happy way. Those whose hides were riled by those references should steer WAY CLEAR of this, but it's otherwise an excellent collection ...

July 1998 :: Music U-X :: The X-Files: The Album (Michael Crown)
... the cut from Foo Fighters. Maybe I'm just expecting too much from my heroes. Ween turn in a tasty pop-rock treat for their assignment. I like Ween. Sting and Aswad generate a fresh version of "Invisible Sun," an old favorite of mine. On to a moody little number from The Cardigans called "Deuce," and ...

December 1998 :: Music P-R :: Marcus Roberts (David Lee Simmons)
... plug in the notes on the hit “The Entertainer,” made even more popular by Hamlisch on the soundtrack to the 1975 classic movie, The Sting. Instead, Roberts starts off the album, lays down almost a cool-jazz bassline with his left hand, while his right flirts with the catchy melody while ...

December 1999 :: Music P-R :: Iggy Pop (James Mann)
... the Ig is truly capable of-- in your face angry beauty, delivered in the sledgehammer style he helped invent. Dear Iggy: the world already has one Sting -- we don't need another. If this release wasn't so long in coming, and if his recent live shows didn't rock like nobody's business, then the record ...

August 1999 :: Music A-B :: Aswad (Phillip Haire)
... it, a dub remix is featured. A cover of the Police's "Invisible Sun," which originally appeared on the X-Files soundtrack, has been included, (yes, Sting does share in the vocals). Experience tells me that a new Aswad release is a "can't go wrong" proposition -- considering most tracks are from reggae ...
