The Police - Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out

Terry Chambers, Ian Copeland, Miles A. Copeland III, Stewart Copeland, Dave Gregory
Watched this the other night. and I must say. Stu Copeland's bio is a well made movie which gives an interesting and realistic peek into the life of the band on the road and during the making of their albums. SADLY the police were beyond pathetic live and this proves it. NONE of their musical versatility comes off onstage they sound like a cookie cutter amateur rock band just banging out noise. Recommended only to real fans of the band not people who like a few of their hits.

Finally, the answers to the question "How did he do that??"
Straight from the man himself, you'll learn the intriguing chord voicings, rhythms and compositional concepts behind our beloved Police classics. Also, Andy shares some refreshing ideas about how to think about chords, melody and composition in general, and shares interesting and often funny tidbits of information regarding the genesis of some of the Police tunes and his years in the band. There are some nice segments where he plays Police and other tunes in a trio setting to drive home the musical discussion points.

2010: Original Music Score from the Motion Picture

Released at the end of 1984, "2010" is a terribly underrated follow-up to Stanley Kubrick's 1968 sci-fi masterpiece 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. Everything about this film says that it is in bad need of reassessing.

And that goes for the music score as well. Beginning with Police lead guitarist Andy Summers' version of Richard Strauss' "Also Sprach Zarathustra", this recording then moves on to the eerie, synthesizer-dominated music score composed by David Shire, who also worked on films like THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE-TWO-THREE and parts of SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER.

Tracks:
    1. 2010
    2. Earth/Space
    3. Probe
    4. Bowman
    5. Reactivating Discovery
    6. Space Linkup/Earth Fallout
    7. Visitation/Countdown
    8. Nova/New Worlds/Sprach Zarathustra
    9. New Worlds Theme From 2010
