5.0 out of 5 stars Sting's Nuggets, August 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Fields of Gold: The Best of Sting, 1984-1994 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Celebrating Sting's 10 years as a solo artist this collection of promotional videos for 17 of his best known songs is an excellent collection. Released to coincide with the album of the same name, we believe the track listing doesn't any of the various album's exactly - for example, the in-concert version of Bring On The Night complete with contemporary alum artwork animation is a strange choice, as this song has it roots firmly in the days of the Police (indeed some might argue Last Exit!). Nevertheless this collection is a good one - personally we'd have preferred to see the video for The Soul Cages single included but you can't have everything. Another strange omission is Mad About You, especially as this song remains a concert favourite to this day. Bookended by two new songs at the time - When We Dance and This Cowboy Song (the latter a fun piece shot in Almeira, home of the spaghetti western) - the video also includes two seldom seen videos as far as the UK is concerned. These are the atmospheric black and white videos for Be Still My Beating Heart and Why Should I Cry For You? Both of these are excellent, and quite similar in ways - for example the way the videos cut to show written song lyrics. A very good collection. END

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful collection of sting videos for any fan., August 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Fields of Gold: The Best of Sting, 1984-1994 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A wonderful collection of several of Sting's greatest videos up to 10 Summoners Tales. You can clearly see the evolution of Sting's music videos from the silly video for "If you Love Someone Set Them Free" with many silly video effects to the breathtaking "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You" Which is one of the most breath taking videos of all time. Several of the videos are rather silly but quite entertaining.

This review is from: Fields of Gold: The Best of Sting, 1984-1994 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

It is not often where an artist can really capture the power of a strong music video straight from the heart, and a dash of soul and humor. In the case of Sting, that music went completely in the full front. After Sting departed from The Police, his solo career has made him into one of the most dynamic and everlasting artists of our time, and that isn't anything to lose faith in.

Fields Of Gold, is a video collection, reflecting Sting's career on his own, and thensome. The collection consists of all the tracks Sting recorded, that made his collection, Fields Of Gold, including When We Dance, If I Ever Lose My Faith in You, Fragile, and Why Should I Cry For You? The video also contains three other songs Sting recorded that didn't make the cut on his album, including It's probably me with eric Clapton, Bring On The Night, and Demolition Man, the theme from the awful Sly Stallone film from 1993.

Although many video collections aren't worth purchasing from its heart, this one is truly worth the wait. If you haven't been a fan of Sting yet, this collection might be the ticket for you. If you still love Sting's music videos, but haven't got a copy of any of them for yourself, then purchase this collection.
