Review by hmvh May 03, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)

Sting: Maestro composer, vocalist, ex-leader of one of the best bands ever, multi-instrumentalist, environmentalist, and all-round pretentious bore.
I really liked the guy once and actually expected to be fond of this compilation which, in all honesty, is not bad... there are some very impressive and artsy videos on here.
Problem is, they just don't appeal to me anymore: "All this time" could very easily have been an early Police video with a bigger budget, "Bring on the night" is really just a live jam, in "Demolition Man" he pretends to be Sylvester Stallone, and despite some fine tracks (in a musical sense), this tape becomes rather tedious to watch after 20 minutes - were it not for the comic antics of a drunk Sting having the hots for his wife Trudi in a new version of "We'll be together".

Finally: If you look carefully, you'll notice that the cover has been expanded to fit the large video boxes prevalent in South Africa. The cassette itself also contains a bit of history: It's a GoldStar, before they became LG.
