The Police - A Sermon on Nothing Achieving (Extended Mashup Remix & Special Video)
A tribute to the energy and magic of the early police! This is a remix and mash-up of 'A Sermon' and 'Nothing Achieving'. 'A Sermon', previously called 'No Excuse', was written by Stewart Copeland in March 1978. It was originally recorded for Outlandos d'Amour in April, but was left off the record and released later in 1980. I really like (as Stewart called them) 'the clever bits' of Andy's guitar, so I multiplied them a few times. Stewart: “Andy let me play most of the guitar, including the intro riff. He did the clever bit in the middle.”
The energy level is quite similar to 'Nothing Achieving', recorded in February 1977 and released in May 1977 on the B-side of their first single Fall Out. The lyrics, which flow together quite smoothly, appear to have been written by Ian Copeland, but Stewart and Sting changed them. Henri Padovani still played guitar at that time, but due to nervousness in the studio, Padovani only played the guitar solo, while Copeland played the remaining guitar parts. Sting: "Fall Out and Nothing Achieving were one of the first songs Stewart played for me. What they lacked in sophistication, they made up for in energy [...] Our first record was entirely a tribute to Stewart's energy and focus. The band would ' Without him it wouldn't have happened."
With the video I tried to match the dynamics and energy of the songs, as well as the feeling of the late seventies. I tried to capture that 'new energy' myself at the time, and The Police was certainly one of the new bands that provided that. I remember buying the single Fall Out / Nothing Achieving on a walk while visiting London. The images come from various sources. Quite a puzzle to rework it and tailor a suit for the mashup remix. I hope you find it a nice fit too. As always, very curious what you think when listening and watching, so please let me know in the comments!
And last but not least, ultimately this is all for a greater purpose. If our protagonist(s) ever listen to this: come on guys, especially Sting, the years are seriously starting to count, so surprise the world, break the myth of The Police as a closed legend, visit your old friends, conquer the demons of the past, and do what many people worldwide don't expect, but are really waiting for: rearrange a few of each other's solo songs, give each other some space and it's done: THAT DAMN SIXTH POLICE ALBUM!

Pressured by their record company for a new record and a prompt return to touring, the Police released their third album, Zenyatta Mondatta, in the autumn of 1980 after frenzied recording sessions at the Dutch Wisseloord Studios that summer. In subsequent interviews, Sting said he regretted the rushed recording for the album. Although not released as a single, Driven To Tears appeared on the Bi...
The Police - Secret Journey (FYYC's Extended Remix & Special Video)
Переглядів 5 тис.3 місяці тому
The song's about a mystical journey. Sting once said: ‘It's a quasi-mystical song. You have to do something, go somewhere, to get outside yourself. I read the book Meetings with Remarkable Men which says you have to make a journey. It doesn't have to be a real journey, it can be a mental journey.’ Although it wasn’t released as a single in Europe, the song did see a release in some countries, l...

A new one! A fairly catchy song in the original version but, in my opinion, sometimes a bit too monotonous and also too short! I think the bridge is a magical moment that deserves some repetition in a remix. Moreover, there are later versions that also added some nice elements to the original. You can hear them again in this extended and mixed up version. Thanks to Dominic Miller for being (par...

In this remix version, almost 4 times longer than the original, I have given a lot of space to Andy's beautiful guitar playing, which wasn't present on the 1983 studio recording. Since (almost) all the instruments are played by Sting, Stewart and Andy, you could say it's a version The Police could have recorded, but never did. Unfortunately in my opinion. But I'm more curious to know what you t...

When were you born? :-) Compared to the original I tried to change the opening into a more edgy and rocky start. But on the other hand I added some more nice spaces, which they tended to play live, but were absent in the original studio recording. As far as I know it's the first remix or rearrangement of this song. Really hope you enjoy it. If you do, please leave a short message! If you don’t,...
The Police - Low Life (FYYC's Extended Remix & Special Video)

The original was only a 3.45 minutes version. As you might already know it was originally recorded in 1979 in the Reggatta era, although they released it in 1981. Always thought it was a pity the song didn't make it to their first albums. So it took me over 40 years to carry out my intention to make an extended version of this little gem... As far as I know still the first remix of this song. A...

Hi guys. Sorry, I just like it to play around with my own remix of SITR... so I made a 2nd version! Sounds a lot like the first one, but if you listen closely, you might discover that I changed some bits and pieces. The song has been extended by almost two minutes, among other things by adding an extra guitar part. I also changed some guitar chords, a few drum parts, pieces sung by Sting, and I...

Okay you guys, I woke up in my clothes again this morning, but here it is, a remix of Shadows in the Rain! Took me a rather long time to get things right, but now I am really pleased with it.

Stupendaaaaaaa ❣️❤️❤️
I don't know about everyone, but this sounds also like reggae except for a faster beat
Can you tell me what does that mean thank you
Play the Dillon amplifier. Last song on the first album. My boss said he smoked a joint at the Lodge.
???
sting's voice on this is amazing
the Police did reggae better than any jamaican band ever
😆 you made me like the song even if i have never liked it before
All songs should start like this. Avec le cowbell. Es des muchos Octobanos!
Another masterpiece. I stand by my opinion. You're not telling me the truth, because it's not just technical skills. Making a remix on The Police, maintaining the purity of the sound and the characteristics of their sound, is not easy. not even the best DJ... One day I will find out who you are. Paid beer, my friend.🍻
Ach ja, The Police. Niet slecht of zo maar nooit zoveel aangevonden. Net zo’n scharnierpunt als The Stones? Niet echt.
Bravo
The Police greatest song for me, bring on the night, i couldn't stand another hour of daylight.
This music is SO exotic - it should be used in a strip club! Dance Of The Seven Veils! (Make that SIX!)
Hi there!
Los gauchos ❤
Tea in the sahara in the middle❤
your remixes are just fantastic !!!
Thanks FYYC for another great derangement ! Early footage indeed & captures the more stark feeling of the mid to late '70's. It reminded me of Stu's 'Does Everyone Stare' DVD commentary, in which it is commented that Sting's green jump suit, having been worn for so many gigs, probably knew how to play the set list on it's own ! Thought I heard a (Sting) Feyd-Rautha cackle in the mix (?). Thanks again !
Wow Andrew, great ears!!! 👌 Feyd is present!
Love Stings Brain! Always On...
Buongiorno🤩🤩🤩

What you've done with these remixes is nothing short of remarkable. To all us Police fans, it gives us another facet to appreciate their amazing work. Thanks for all the time and effort and what you have produced. Amazing.
Nice words A1A1, thanks. It gives me another facet too..! 😉
Always looooved Sermon. Nice gesture, bringin Henry into the picture
Brilliant!
Amazing idea, man. Very well put together!! You know what this means: 🍺. There is no cocido or fabada emoji. Keep it up!!
Ha ha, Juan, how many 🍻🍺🍻 already by now...? 👍
