What is the 2008 Sting planning ?

The Police reunion and tour end up at the end of August with a free show in NY... After that, it would be the end...

For September, the 13th to be exact, there is a rumor about a special concert in memory of the great tenor Luciano Pavarotti who died last year. It would be done in Paris, Parc de Saint-Cloud, accompanied by a symphony orchestra of 70 musicians, with other artists...

In November, Sting will be at the Chatelet Theater in Paris with Elvis Costello to play the opera "Welcome to the voice", written by Steve Nieve and Muriel Teodori The show will play from 20 to 25 November and reservations will be open from June 27.

After that, I hope he will take some time to be back home and write there, because he always say, he do not write on the road.... and he is on the road for 5 years now... ;)

No new CD by The Police...

Stingus reports : Well, some will love it, others will be disappointed, but according to our latest info, no new CD of The Police should be expected. The tour will finish in the USA in August, and that will be it.

There are some other things in the works though, such as a Tour book and a tour DVD.

Finally, we will all be able to enjoy a new CD by Sting in Spring 2009.

1000 years remix promo CD

I just received this unknown promo CD of "1000 years". Added to the fact it is the only know release for what was supposed to be the brand new day album fourth single, it includes 3 remixes never heard before...

Nothing to do with reggae, they are more like "radio version" that make the song more accessible for a radio audience... but not enough as the single has never been released...

 

I forget to talk you about this Stolen car USA promo CD I miss some weeks ago and which gone at... $4!!! It comes with a different sleeve and includes the 3 usual remixes... why an USA promo CD is so rare?

Songs for Tibet release - Send your love - Art of peace mix

I just found it on the itunes store, and I was sad when i see "Send your love - Art of peace mix"... I have think another bad remix... no way !

This version is an acoustic version, with I guess 2 guitare and definitly, Vincente Amigo on one, with a nice spanish guitare solo in the middle, and some dodouk, this amazing armenian instrument that I love... I always think this song was so commercial, but this version make me change my mind...

This album is to support Tibet and they need our support, so buy the album... also, there is some other amazing tracks on it... so, support Tibet !

Sting From the Vault Fan club DVD

I was, as other people say, expecting something better than that... Hard to explain the frustration of always 1' extracts of songs, never a complete song... Between that, some "behind the scene" footage, but nothing really interesting... Sting waiting to come on stage, Kippen jokes, Sting going out of stage, Sting taking the train... Well, it is interesting with concert of recording between, but only that, it is simply boring...

The worst, for me, is that it is supposed to be a FAN release, and you have the same things that is in official Dominic Miller video, or Journey and the labyrinth DVD, and with Bad image quality transfer !!! If we are found, I guess we see that !!! We need soemthing new!

There is some interesting parts, like Sting recording with Will I am special version of Englishman in NY (anybody here it?); or rehersals with Newcastle big band, but again, there is more interview of people of the big band than Sting... and when Sting sings a song we never heard before, it is cut out after 30"...

I won't make comment about the design, but have to say, this is a disepointing release....
