    The Police- Synchronicity





    I picked this up last night. My wife wanted "Murder by Numbers" for quite sometime so, I thought that I would surprise her and pick it up.

    Have not had a chance to listen yet. Review to soon follow.

    Okay, had a chance to sit down and give this disc a listen. This disc is a compilation as well as a re-master. While I own several of Sting's solo works, I do not own any Police albums. So I really have nothing to bounce off of.

    One thing on this disc that stands out to me are the drums. IMO, they are the most life-like that I have heard on a disc. Drums seem to be the most difficult of instruments to reproduce. This disc does a great job of making them sound real.

    Imaging was never really satisfying to me. It of course varies from track to track, but the cd's overall image quality never quite gets there.

    The track "Murder By Numbers" has a very complex story in it's message. It was the first that I have heard it and was very pleased with it. I'm glad my wife turned me on to this disc.

      Super Speedway is still the standard for Demo disc!
      by John Holmes
      I popped in SS yesterday for the first time in over a year. I don't even watch or follow car racing. But, you have to get pumped about this sport when watching this disc.

      The audio on this disc will put every part of the sound spectrum through it's paces. And the numerous pans through...

      Just got the Kenwood Promo Disc!
      by John Holmes
      This is a great disc. It was an interesting promo but, I love the THX "Jungle Sounds"! I also love the video shot of the U.S. flag. I wish all my movies looked as good as the screen shot of the flag.

      PS Thanks for the tip Andrew!

      Jackie Chan explains a stunt in Police Story
      by oldbob
      I first met Jackie on "Cannonball Run". He had a very minor role and I don't believe he could speak any English at that time. However, he is such a natural born clown he had everybody laughing the little bit of time he was on the set. At that time I had never seen a Jackie Chan movie. Later...

      Police 2008 vinyl reissues
      by benny
      These apparently flew under my radar when they were released. I'd like to pick up a set to compliment my Police cd collection but I'd like some feedback first. I know it's common these days for labels to "remaster" and reissue albums with less than stellar results. Anybody heard these or...
