Product description

Sting's second and most conceptually dense solo album moved on from jazz to ideas picked up from Latin music. Even when he's not using Latin music's tricky polyrhythms, the melodies of the ballad "Be Still My Beating Heart" and the hit dance single "We'll Be Together" suggest he'd been listening to lots of salsa. If you can sting, you can cross-pollinate, too, and there are some other subtle hybrids here, notably the Gil Evans Orchestra's gliding arrangement of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing" and the reggae-in-a-Cole Porter suit of "Englishman in New York." Of course, the former schoolteacher has some lyrical messages to deliver and the three songs that originally made up the second side of a double LP are a bitter meditation on Latin American politics and history. --Douglas Wolk

Jimi Hendrix “ little wing” is total magic
Please Enjoy
Sting is a better lyricist than Paul McCartney, at least as good a tunesmith as Donovan, who he bares a strong aesthetic resemblance to, is intelligent, literate and probably just what Malcolm McDowell would be if he ever swallowed a couple of nice-nice pills and took up music! Herr Sumner takes some very diverse idioms, like Hora music, (on "Straight To My Heart",) a first person narrative, ("Englishman In New York",) storytelling, ("Rock Steady",) a mournful waltz, ("They Dance Alone", one of the most soulful songs on the album,) and Caribbean calypso mixed with standard funk, ("We'll Be Together Tonight",)a couple of classically sophisticated, M-O-R sounding tunes, (a staple of the fifties,) in "Sister Moon" and "Little Wing", and presents it all as a cohesive whole that holds your attention from beginning to end. A good selection of eighties' ascendent jazz musicians aid the former Police-man on this incredible late-80's album.
Considering that NO ONE has produced music as good as this or "Ten Summoner's Tales" in over 25 years, I hope Sting has 1) His star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, 2) Is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in a prominent spot and 3) Finally makes a good movie where he isn't playing a villain!
Why can't everybody be as good and have the high professional standards that Herr Sumner has and is, (at least in music, that is)?
Highly recommended!
The deluxe edition of Sting's 1987 album Nothing Like The Sun is a pure joy to hear for the first time, as you hear a artist making the soul of his voice of his own. The album shows considered it was where Sting first saw the world without the crutch of The Police & being joyously enriched in at the dawn of his long-term relationship with his wife Trudie Styler. The songs have all ben remastered nicely & it shows in hearing the album & hearing the new tracks as well. The songs blend in nicely from intimate gems that still stand the test of time like the beautifully haunting Fragile, the underrated Sister Moon (which was covered later by Vanessa Williams in 1993,) the Jazz induced sounds of Englishman Of New York & Be Still My Beating Heart. Even hearing overlooked songs like The Police-soundalike History Will Teach Us Nothing & Little Wing which could've complimented She's Like The Wind from Dirty Dancing fits like a candle on a birthday cake nicely here. Every track does feel like a joy to listen to. Going back & hearing the sound on this album feels like a breath of forgotten air. The new tracks also work well that have never been heard before like the haunting epic sounds of Up From The Skies, which in some cases mirrors When The Angels Fall from The Soul Cages & the jazz instrumental host In The Strand that adds to the experiments close to the sounds of old school 80' bebop, to a B.B. King infused blues tribute. Each track feels like a new shape in time. Yet, I do honestly have only one major gripe & that is really with the remixes of Englishman In New York, Fragile & We'll Be Together. Truthfully, they take away some of the polish that makes this remaster so joyous to endure. I think instead the remastered album could've used live recordings instead to add into the spark o the flame that Sting highlights here so well. The other flaw with this remaster is that it is a only-digital release, which flows the trends Sting had 2 years ago when The Soul Cages was given a deluxe version that was digital only. The release would've absolutely benefited for having a physical release for posterity.
In any way that you do look at it, I absolutely do recommend the deluxe remastered Nothing Like The Sun from Sun by Sting. It really is a good album taking in for a sense of finding serenity in the shadows of a departure & rising for a new beginning sense of purpose. Each track is really worth enjoying from start to finish. While it isn't the first record I would turn to if you're new to Sting's solo legacy, that would be the 1994 compilation Fields Of Gold. It still is a record I would easily sink into from a real musical legend. I you're a hard core fa, than you're in for a treat with the deluxe edition of Nothing like The Sun.

My favorite track is the cover of Hendrix's Little Wing. It features a brilliant solo from Hiram Bullock, a New York session musician who was popular in the 1980s (eg, Paul Simon, Steely Dan, Billy Joel, Miles Davis, David Letterman). The arrangement is by Gil Evans, who worked with Miles Davis in the 1950s. For me, the 1980s was a bleak period in pop music, this album stands out because of the musicianship and the songwriting.
