Great DVD Audio. DVD Audio is Great!
by William Fletcher (Little River, CA USA)
This was a great CD originally. Now it's amazing to hear again in 5.1 surround. DVD Audio is great - I hope it lasts! Go High Res Audio.
5/5
From toe dip to full tilt
by Shannon Freeman (Tennessee)
Sting had always dipped his toe in rythems carrying a hint of world beat, even as the rocking headliner for " The Police". In his second solo effort he dives in head first, delivering a set of songs that rely heavily on world music, jazz and social conscience overtones.
It works. " The Lazarus Heart" kicks things off, with jazz riffs wrapping cryptic lyrics. " Be Still My Beating Heart" is a love song that is deeply felt. The choice of instruments, their contribution, and certainly the lyrics create an atmosphere of longing unparalleled, even for Sting's generally sensitive musings. " History Will Teach Us Nothing" is an interesting dialogue between a former teacher and the minstrel. A world beat thrums in the background as Sting chastises the past and the unthinkable atrocieties therein.
" They Dance Alone" is breathtakingly touching. Agusto Pinochet had a terrifying reign, leaving women to dance the " Cueca Solo", a tribute to a fallen husband/father/son. The warring drum introduction, interspersed through the whole song, creates the right amount of foreboding.
" Fragile" is so beautiful. The lyrics speak such truth, but the music sounds like rain gently pouring on us, trying to cleanse us of our baser instincts. " We'll Be Together" was the single from this disc, a worthy, catchy tune with fun pop lyrics.
" Nothing Like the Sun" is one of, if not, Sting's finest solo releases.
5/5
DTS Sound is Fantastic
by j. (NY)
To date, I own three DTS discs - Steely Dan - Gaucho; and Sting - Brand New Day - Nothing Like the Sun.
Since there are plenty of reviews, I will get to the bottom line. All three of these DTS discs have an excellent transfer to 5.1 DTS sound. There is the obvious separation of sound/music and back up vocals through the surround speakers and nice bass.
The only drawback is the listener has to be in the central position ("Sweet Spot") to fully enjoy the 5.1 sound. So, if you have the time to relax and enjoy the music, definitely buy all three.
5/5
among the best for social protest
by Alice Fielding (Norman, OK USA)
This album has songs ranging from the beautiful ("Fragile" and "Little Wing") to the silly ("Rock Steady") to the flagrantly political ("They Dance Alone"). The songs are musically appealing. Well, for the most part anyway--a few get annoying after about the third listen. This is the sort of album Amnesty International supporters like to listen to. In addition, many of the songs have a subtle theme about mothers and mothering. "The Secret Marriage" at the end is a little gem of a song you won't want to miss.
4/5
DTS, The way to go!
by (Chicago, Illinois United States)
I am a Sting fan so, this is a review of the DTS mix. I reviewed Ten Summoner's Tales(DTS) and this one. I have to say, ...Nothing Like The Sun was mixed and sounds better. Clear, crisp sound comes from everywhere! If you have a DTS-capable system, this is "required listening". DTS has the capability of bringing out suttle things you never knew existed! I would have given this cd/dvd 5 stars except, I'm not happy that "We'll Be Together" is "not" the original version!:( "Hats Off" to David Tickle & Rod Michaels. Special note: Hiram Bullock's work on "Little Wing" sounds great!
