We'll be together tonight ! Sting was always able to write such great pop rock songs.....he did it a million times with the Police and it just continued into his solo work.
...nothing like the sun is actually a wonderful album full of great variety and clever singing and songwriting. It also has one of my favourite Sting songs of all time .....the deadly gorgeous " They Dance Alone (Gueca Solo) with guitar contributions from both Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler.
Drumming on the whole album is Peter Gabriel's percussionist Manu Katche, sax by Branford Marsalis and additional guitars by his old friend Andy Summers.
The whole album carries a very "rainy" almost 50's espionage vibe to the album with the black and white photo montage and the solioquay-ish vocals of Sting.
This album sounds awesome in vinyl format and has a ton more clarity than the CD's or mp3's could ever emulate. It has that vinyl warmth, depth and clarity that you only get from good vinyl transfers.
Sting also does a great total reinterpretation of Hendrix's "Little Wing" with orchestra and killer bass and drums.
