Album Notes
Voted Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals in the '83 Grammys, SYNCHRONICITY was the fifth in a string of successes for The Police. The single "Every Breath You Take," also earning a Grammy, was written by Sting in ten minutes in a middle-of-the-night inspiration, after which he went back to sleep.
Fancy knowing you were going to break up and yet be able to record and produce this masterpiece. The world domination of the Police was as calculated and planned as was their departure. Each of the intervening albums have something special but the power of tracks such as 'Synchronicity II', and the haunting quality of 'Every Breath You Take' (you really believe Sting when he says, 'I'll be watching you') give this record the edge. The only tracks less than brilliant are Summers' and Copeland's offerings, a fact of which they must all have been aware. They bowed out while they were still winning.
