the third string conquers the world

the third album would be a difficult task after the masterpiece "Regatta de Blanc". ultimately you have recorded the album in the middle of touring in Holland. protested today sting that they too had the import pressurized album. (Rumor has it that on 2 songs on it are no pool, because they were not hectic raise in these songs are "When the world is running down" "canary in a coalmine", but is likely to be a anektote) I think it did not hurt! the third album was a worldwide success, also concluded by the first two magnificent albums. POLICE went on a world tour and played in places where they barely knew and had hardly ever played rock bands. (India, Egypt). The result was later largely selbsgedrehte video "police around the world" that will hopefully be released on DVD. "Zenyatta" is a further development of "regatta" the previous album. it's a cross between a "regatta" and the successor "Ghost in the Machine". Particularly noteworthy is the advanced sound again. Copeland's drum sound is crisp and prances around Sting's basslines and atmospheric Summers Guitar backing tracks reggae attacks. some songs go back strongly towards ska and reggae, "Man in a Suitcase", "canary in a coalmine". the most astonishing songs that can not be einordenn but are "Driven to Tears" and "When the world is running down." "Driven to Tears" was indeed no single but is one of the 5 best police songs which sound, composition and performance concerns. Then there are of course the pop classics and number 1 hits "dont stand so close to me" and "de do do do". But the highlights are in the albumcuts "Shadows in the Rain" is a dark reggae number, as only they can bring police had. "Voices Inside My Head" "Behind My Camel" and "other way of stoppin 'are 3 instrumental songs, and on a number 1 album! what can you say great, innovative songs that tour, the performance, everything comes together as "zenyattà mondatta" (top of the world) already announced. they knew that they were good? and they were condemned once, it must be said again and again. the "top of the world" but they went with the last two albums "Ghost in the Machine" and "Synchronicity" even further, in the pop-up sky .......
