Love it but...

Why is Seven Days not on this CD. It was my favorite part of the DVD and then I find out its only on the Import CD. Still a great CD though.

Mainly for the true Sting-fans of course!

Interesting, experimental, fantastic - so what's new?? If you didn't like this album, and did not appriciate the "changes" on the old Sting-classics, well yes - that may very well be because you're simply not fan enough, and you listen to these songs without having a particular interest in them, or feel a "relationship" to what Stings' songwriting and performing is all about; Developing, and growing with time. Change can be good, change can be nessecarry - and change is the future (he says something about this in an interview on his "Unplugged"-release from 1991 - where he also claims there should be no limitations in the progress of songwriting and performing by categories - all should mix together, and he claims music-"experts" who says you can't to be wrong. I agree, and here's another example of how superb category-mixing can be. It's jazzy, rockn' roll, heavy, relaxed (as in laid-back music) and most of all gripping. The versions of these songs were rehearsed weeks before the twin towers-tragedy - so this release has got nothing to do with that (some songs being slown down I mean) - if you find a sad "expression" here, well who wasn't emotionally involved on 11th Septhember, I know I was. If Sting and A&M has made big bucks on the tragedy of 2001, I am sure it was not the intention, or the consept behind the "All this time"-project.



Let me add, some versions here are even better, or as good as, the original - I really adore the makeover of "Don't stand..." and "If I ever..."!



Sting-fans, enjoy!

The best performance

The first time inserted the CD in my player,the first time I heared that sound, I tought it was a mistake.Was it realy sting? I knew him from the times of the police, and the choc was big....this is a wonderfull Jazz-fusion, live recorded, not a big sugar-cake like "everyting she does is magic".....

the first track, "A thousand Years" is a softly played song,with a great bass-line played by Sting.the ones how know his importants albums will notice that most songs are mixed-in. a great Idea. the final track, "every breath you take is a explosion of music, a real big-bang! Sting, you are great.....
