Police - Ghost In The Machine .jpg) .gif) By Albert Massa
Dark, somber, and thematically unified as no previous album by the
Police, Ghost in the Machine deals almost exclusively with the
negative effects of modern political and technological culture. The only
departure from this focus is "Every Little Thing She Does Is
Magic," a perfect pop song and radio hit. Elsewhere, the album treats
such issues as the hope underlying resistance to oppression, the dismissal
of most of the nonindustrialized world, the daily bombardment of words and
images that overload the senses, and the frequent recourse to violence for
personal or political expression. The songs are presented in what are, for
the Police, unusually dense, layered arrangements. Andy Summers's guitar
lines are even more ethereal than usual, with Sting's bass parts bobbing
in a mix seasoned with keyboards and sax and propelled by Stewart
Copeland's unmistakable, idiosyncratic drumming. While Synchronicity
gave the Police their greatest success with hits and videos, Ghost in
the Machine is the band's best recording.

"RIGHT ON!! I agree WHOLLY! GITM is THE best album they ever had. However, I believe the single, Synchronicity II is one of the best ever! On this album, "Every Little Thing...", "Spirits in the Material World", and "Invisible Sun" are the best singles." --Musiccollector | "Absolutely the best Police album. Stewart Copeland's completely unique drum playing and Sting's bass chords, are why I call this my personal favorite." --Anonymous | "Agreed. Ghost in the Machine is one album taken in its entirety rather than by individual songs. Haunting melodies, they remain in your musical memories." --Anonymous |
