When we started compiling songs for Season 1, we dug into our back catalogue and pulled this one out. We had worked on a version of this song many years ago but got sidetracked and never finished, so we decided to start over from scratch. This has always been one of our favorite Police songs: it has a very different feel from their usual sound, it's very dark, lots of synth sounds, and not a skank or a bubble to be found.
The Music:
The vibe of the original is so cool, we wanted to keep our version pretty close to that. We also kept the arrangement similar, although we updated the synth sounds, broke up the vocal parts (Mike is singing the intro, Chris is doing the verses, the chorus is Conrad and Aya), and added more meat to things in general. The recording came together very quickly, despite the fact the project file ballooned up to 250 tracks before comping it down to 100 or so for the final mix....
