You've got to deliver Product and you've got to deliver Ever Increasing Genius, and you've got to do it before Christmas. So you'd be in the middle of making an album and you know about all these people waiting for it - including the record buyers, of course - and you started hoping that people were going to enjoy it. And The Police?
A good deal of credit for that lies in the beautiful production job by Nigel Gray and the band itself; a sparse, yet lush sound in the 1980's style the band helped to originate.
On one hand, the group's minimalist approach to tour economics, Sting's riveting charisma on stage and screen (he was the ultracool Ace Face in the move 'Quadraphenia') and an ambitious 1980 Third World tour have all paid off, making the Police this decade's model for superstar strategists.On the other hand, however, their individualistic fusion of polished reggae, bathroom-echo dub, Andy Summer's Jeff Beck-cum-Ramones guitar thrash and Sting's inverted pop hooks is too often filed under 'FM punk'. Sting's vocal is echoed to the edge of incoherence while Andy Summers embarks on a bug-eyed voyage into atonality phase and swirl a bit reminiscent of The Beatles' 'Baby You're A Rich Man'. I wouldn't mind waiting for Superbo de Polica.Those best-selling exponents of white reggae, The Police, also have a new album, 'Zenyatta Mondatta'. The success of 'Reggatta de Blanc' saw The Police touring at breakneck speed. It was a very difficult time - there was a sense of urgency and quite a lot of drugs. The overall effect is mysterious, hypnotic and yet ultimately brimming with optimism. That's one reason why we recorded 'Ghost In The Machine' down in Montserrat - it's a 12-hour flight to the nearest record company! It was so rushed. The Police were like a decent, unassuming guest who gets asked to dinner to make up the numbers and after a few Dubonnets shows his true colours, dancing on the table and insulting people (insulting people's intelligence in the case of Zenyatta Mondatta). The album won them two Grammy Awards.
Though delighted to receive album, was difficult to review. Released 3 October 1980 on A&M (catalog no. None of us had to go into rehab or anything, it didn't get too bad, we were just experimenting. ""I wrote almost all of these songs in the west of Ireland in 1980. And made it all sound so damn easy.Breathlessly The Police come to us with a new album, while the echoes of their recent assault upon the world are still fading. All that touring seems to have had its effect on Sting in particular; both his songs and vocals have become tougher, more concerned, but no less melodic. It rained every day for eight weeks.

"De do do do, de da, da, da / Is all I want to say to you / De do do do, de da da da / The innocence will pull me through". But I knew at the time we could improve on it. For me, the mystery was solved as to where, besides Sting and Andy as "naturals," the Police mystique had come from.Which brings me to my conclusions about 'Zenyatta Mondatta'. Perhaps the Police should abandon reggae and learn surf music.Anyone expecting another dose of the crisp attack of 'Reggatta' is likely to find this puzzlingly downbeat. ""Smart fellow," he shrugged, and strode out the room.I turned to Sting, who was the only one of the three whom I found to be a Real Person, or a reasonable approximation of one. Sting makes the best of a bad situation comedy; closer to "Mind Your Language!"
