And to be honest, I don't think I've ever heard "Rain" by Tones on Tail before. Yeah, that song makes “Plainsong” seem like a 2 minute 30 second single.

Pity.<br><br>Of course, at 8+ minutes (of which four are intro), it might be a bit long for a Mix Six. No “Rain” by Tones on Tail? Pity.

I can't listen to this version of "Shadows" knowing the original. The keyboard sound makes me sick, and the overall production is just too cheeseball. The song itself is just ok, but the Police performance is what makes it really interesting. Sorry, have to disagree. I can't listen to this version of “Shadows” knowing the original.

Yeah, the themes on this album are pretty glum, but the band he put together worked out really well and I'm sure made him think that there was indeed life after the Police.

For Sting's solo work, it's my favorite, but the guy sure loves his own English rain, don't he? “Shadows In The Rain” is one of the few Sting revamps that truly work for me, and since Blue Turtles was often a dour album (“We Work The Black Seam”, “Russians”, “Moon Over Bourbon Street”) this track and “If You Love Somebody Set Them Free” tends to lift the rest of the album up.
