5 out of 5 stars Sting - ... NOTHING LIKE THE SUN (1987).......2006-08-07

While THE DREAM OF THE BLUE TURTLES proved that Sting had solo potential, it was the subsequent album, ... NOTHING LIKE THE SUN, that proved that the ex-Police frontman was here to stay. A big part of what makes the album so great is that, unlike on BLUE TURTLES, Sting isn't trying so hard; he just lets the music flow. The result is a pop masterpiece far different from the other pop albums of the time. The songs are more layered than those on BLUE TURTLES, and also considerably more moody. Branford Marsalis' saxophone really shines, particularly on the delightful opener "The Lazarus Heart", just one of many great songs on the album - "Be Still My Beating Heart", the classic "Englishman In New York", the beautiful "They Dance Alone (Cueca Solo)", and "Straight To My Heart" are some others. Also wonderful is an amped-up, jazzed-out remake of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing", on which Sting is accompanied by Gil Evans and his orchestra. Considered by many to be Sting's best solo effort, ... NOTHING LIKE THE SUN is an intelligent pop masterpiece that ranks among the best and most important albums of the 1980s.

5 out of 5 stars Sting's Best Album Just Got Better!.......2005-11-02

I'd been a long-time Sting fan since the Police days until ironically up to this album. I've found that all his albums after this one have come up short and in many ways seem to be attempts at recapturing the magic he created on this album but alas not succeeding. Yes, he had great singles after this album but not great albums which just goes to show just how good this album really is. As a cohesive, flowing, piece of work with track after track of great songs, this album was clearly his best ever. The only bum track here relative to the rest which probably would have been better left off the whole album would be "We'll Be Together" which just seems to stand out as the weakest track of the lot. This version is not only remastered for a great sound, although the first track seems a little soft but thankfully the volume levels seem to adjust to their proper levels by the end of the 2nd track, and also comes with a great bonus video track on Quicktime which is the video of the best track on this disc, "An Englishman in New York." Great songwriting both lyrically and musically, great arrangement especially on the Jimi Hendrix standard, "Little Wing" (almost as good as the one the Corrs did)and even the liner notes are penned by Sting himself all make for a worthwhile purchase. Highly recommended as the best version of this album that is currently out there.
