Synchronicity

Synchronicity (1983) more music like this

by The Police

Although the Police's fifth release, 1983's Synchronicity, would be their most commercially successful and lead to a sold-out tour of enormodomes (including New York's Shea Stadium), it would turn out to be the trio's final album and tour. Like all Police recordings, Synchronicity contains some obvious "filler" (such as the silly dinosaur tale of ...

Reggatta de Blanc

Reggatta de Blanc (1979) more music like this

by The Police

By 1979's Reggatta de Blanc (translation: White Reggae ), nonstop touring had sharpened the Police's original blend of reggae-rock to perfection, resulting in breakthrough success. Containing a pair of massive hit singles -- the inspirational anthem "Message in a Bottle" and the spacious "Walking on the Moon" -- the album also signaled a change ...

Ghost in the Machine

Ghost in the Machine (1981) more music like this

by The Police

For their fourth album, 1981's Ghost in the Machine, the Police had streamlined their sound to focus more on their pop side and less on their trademark reggae-rock. Their jazz influence had become more prominent, as evidenced by the appearance of saxophones on several tracks. The production has more of a contemporary '80s sound to it (courtesy of ...

The Police

The Police (2007) more music like this

by The Police

To coincide with their 30th anniversary reunion tour in 2007 the Police released the anthology The Police, the first two-CD retrospective ever assembled on the group. They may not have had a double compilation to their credit, but they had single discs and box sets, which may raise the question of whether they need a set like this -- and the ...

Every Breath You Take: The Classics

Every Breath You Take: The Classics (1995) more music like this

by The Police

By deleting the 1986 hits collection Every Breath You Take: The Singles and replacing it nearly ten years later with Every Breath You Take: The Classics, A&M improved the original set -- but only slightly. Instead of finally adding the missing hits that were mysteriously absent the first time around ("Synchronicity II," "Demolition Man," "So ...

Live! (1995) more music like this

by The Police

1995 finally saw the release of the Police's long-rumored first official live album, the two-CD Live!. The first CD was recorded back in 1979 in Boston, for an FM broadcast during the tour for their second album, Reggatta de Blanc, while the second disc is from their final tour in 1983 during a tour stop in Atlanta. While the first disc is ...

Message in a Box: The Complete Recordings

Message in a Box: The Complete Recordings (1993) more music like this

by The Police

Despite their legendary status, the Police only released five albums during their brief reign from 1978-1983. In addition, the trio had amassed a healthy amount of both studio and live B-sides, plus songs that only appeared on soundtracks. For the 1993 four-CD box set Message in a Box: The Complete Recordings, every single song the Police ever ...

Every Breath You Take: The Singles

Every Breath You Take: The Singles (1986) more music like this

by The Police

Depending on whose report you believe, the Police recongregated in 1985 to either begin work on their sixth studio album or a greatest-hits collection that was to include all new, reworked versions of the hits. Neither ever materialized due to hostility between the members, and when all the trio could show for its work was an insipid remake of ...

Outlandos d'Amour

Outlandos d'Amour (1978) more music like this

by The Police

While their subsequent chart-topping albums would contain far more ambitious songwriting and musicianship, the Police's 1978 debut, Outlandos d'Amour (translation: Outlaws of Love ) is by far their most direct and straightforward release. Although Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland were all superb instrumentalists with jazz backgrounds, it ...

Zenyatta Mondatta

Zenyatta Mondatta (1980) more music like this

by The Police

The stage was set for the Police to become one of the biggest acts of the '80s, and the band delivered with the 1980 classic Zenyatta Mondatta. The album proved to be the trio's second straight number one album in the U.K., while peaking at number three in the U.S. Arguably the best Police album, Zenyatta contains perhaps the quintessential new ...

I Advance Masked (1982) more music like this

by Andy Summers/Robert Fripp

Many a guitar fan would have predicted that a summit between legendary guitarists Andy Summers (the Police) and Robert Fripp (King Crimson) would result in a guitar solofest. But the music on their first collaboration together, I Advance Masked, stresses guitar textures and moods over indulgent soloing. Although the recording sessions weren't ...

Absolute Animals 1964-1968 (2003) more music like this

by The Animals

As hard as it is to believe, there was no single-disc collection that contained all of the Animals' greatest hits until Raven Records released Absolute Animals 1964-1968 in 2003. Prior to this, compilations were devoted to one of three distinct eras. First, there were the first recordings that they made with producer Mickie Most, which included ...

Greatest Hits (1998) more music like this

by The Police

This 2001 Greatest Hits collection from A&M features the usual assortment of Police classics like "Roxanne," "Every Breath You Take," "Walking on the Moon" and "Every Little Thing She Dees Is Magic," but unlike 1995's more popular Every Breath You Take: The Classics, it also includes fan favorites like "Synchronicity II" and "Bed's Too Big Without ...

Peggy's Blue Skylight (2000) more music like this

by Andy Summers

In a similar vein as his 1999 release Green Chimneys: The Music of Thelonious Monk, guitarist Summers now offers tribute to jazz pioneer Charles Mingus. The collection is a little cobbled together, with an ill-conceived rap from Q-Tip over "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" and a sparse, unfunky reading of "Cumbia Jazz Fusion," but the former Policeman's ...

Charming Snakes (1990) more music like this

by Andy Summers

You never know what to expect from former Police-man Andy Summers. His solo albums for Private Music have ranged from the chilly metallic atmospherics of Mysterious Barricades to the global rock of The Golden Wire, and now he serves up the steamy fusion of his latest work Charming Snakes. Summers has assembled a stellar group of musicians to back ...

The Best of Eric Burdon & the Animals, 1966-1968 [Polydor] (1991) more music like this

by Eric Burdon & the Animals

Despite its being credited to Eric Burdon & the Animals, this hour-long compilation may prove to be of equal interest to serious fans of the original Animals (i.e. the quintet that recorded "House of the Rising Sun," "It's My Life," etc.). The first four cuts, at least -- "Don't Bring Me Down," "See See Rider," "Inside Looking Out," and "Hey Gyp" ...

Original Hits [EMI] (2001) more music like this

by The Animals

Released by the Holland-based company Disky, the single-disc collection Original Hits contains all of the Animals' biggest hits and best cuts from their British Invasion peak -- meaning everything before the group fractured and Eric Burdon started up the New Animals. This collection may not offer much in the way of liner notes (just John Tobler's ...

The Soft Machine [Water] (2007) more music like this

by The Soft Machine

A wild, freewheeling, and ultimately successful attempt to merge psychedelia with jazz-rock, Soft Machine's debut ranges between lovingly performed oblique pop songs and deranged ensemble playing from drummer/vocalist Robert Wyatt and organist Mike Ratledge. With only one real break (at the end of side one), the songs merge into each other -- not ...

The Animals/Animal Tracks (2004) more music like this

by The Animals

The latest reissue of the group's two classic EMI albums, The Animals and Animal Tracks, from 1964 and 1965, respectively, in audiophile-quality digital transfers but -- typically for British releases of the period -- without any of the band's hit singles. The sound is excellent, and dedicated fans will know the music well, but without the hits it ...

Synaesthesia (1996) more music like this

by Andy Summers

During his post-Police musical career, guitarist Andy Summers has compiled a series of altogether distinctive, fusion-based solo outings marked by his shrewd compositional pen and laudable technical acumen. Moreover, Summers displays a somewhat lyrically driven guitar sound, teeming with animated lines, a rubato-like methodology, and bone-crushing ...
