[POLICEchout]

There's a part in Police around the world where it sounds like Sting is noodling around on a piano with the beginnings of this song.

[larkydozer]

Do you mean the scene where at the end of his noodling he slumps onto the keys and laughs a kookie sort of laugh and looks into the camera?

[POLICEchout]

yep.

I love this one. It definitely should have been included on Ghost in the Machine.

[ab330]

this should have made it on to synchronicity

[Brecconable]

These song just feels like sex

[casestudyification]

Man.....they should have put that out. There's a couple of fillers on Ghost that could have easily been replaced with this cool song.....

[themusicman1970]

It's a shame as this would have fit very nicely right before Darkness on side two of Ghost in the Machine. Too bad they never got to record it but it's definitely a quintessential Police song (just not a refined classic with the spirited input of Andy and Stewart.)

[wonkeaux]

you can hear the bassline from Secret Journey in this song, and some vocal phrasing that ended up in Soul Cages.

[jercruse]

eerie but kind of magical ...def a police sound..sting voice is very clear to hear..cool.

[RichV20]

ISounds like Sting locked himself into his hotel room and recorded the demo while high on coke & Human League.

Thanks for these, I always thought the Brimestone and Treacle stuff was weird but these are out there too. There is a band called Grand National that used a Police sound and maybe some ideas from these tracks that were't released.
