Animated comedy featuring the voice of David Spade as Inca Emperor
Kuzco, a rich, vain man who takes delight in other people's
misfortunes. His former-advisor Yzma (Eartha Kitt) would like to
get rid of him and hatches a plan to poison him. But when this is
botched by Yzma's assistant and instead the potion turns Kuczo into
a lowly (but talking) llama, Kuzco finds that he has to learn what
life is like for the people at the bottom. Kuzco enlists the help
of a poor farmer (voiced by John Goodman) to get him back to the
palace and find a sorcerer that can reverse the spell whilst
dodging Yzma and her assistant who are still trying to finish off
their evil plan. The film features songs by Sting, one of which was
nominated for an Oscar.
Having been a songwriter most of my life, condensing my ideas and
emotions into short rhyming couplets and setting them to music, I
had never really considered writing a book. But upon arriving at
the reflective age of fifty, I found myself drawn, for the first
time, to write long passages that were as stimulating and
intriguing to me as any songwriting I had ever done.
And so Broken Music began to take shape. It is a book about the
early part of my life, from childhood through adolescence, right up
to the eve of my success with the Police. It is a story very few
people know.
I had no interest in writing a traditional autobiographical
recitation of everything that's ever happened to me. Instead I
found myself drawn to exploring specific moments, certain people
and relationships, and particular events which still resonate
powerfully for me as I try to understand the child I was, and the
man I became.

With customary thoughtfulness and his usual verve, Sting is talking
about Brand New Day, his sumptuous new album, a collection of songs
exploring the theme of love. "I didn't set out to write lyrics just
about love, yet almost all the songs have the theme of broken lives
that can be mended by love. My challenge was to write a happy love
song without being banal or smug. For example, 'Brand New Day,' the
last song, begins with a jaundiced view and then moves toward
acceptance, to diving back into love. It's basically the thought
that failing in love is an act of optimism - and I think if the
album has a tone, for me...it's an optimistic one." Incorporating
highly rhythmic elements, echoes of Miles Davis and medieval
plainsong, of Algerian pop and American Country Music, Brand New
Day also ranges, with typical Sting audacity, over a world of
styles - here's love in abundance of musical tongues. For every
irresistible hook or melody, there's a rhythmic challenge or
instrumental surprise. "Trying to write simple pop songs over a
compound time is my idea of a crossword puzzle - or
three-dimensional chess," Sting explains. "That's my obsession."
"And," he laughs, "I think people expect that of me to throw them a
few loops here and there. They'd probably be disappointed if I
didn't.' Co-produced by Sting and producer/programmer Kipper and
featuring Sting's customary peerless collaborators - guitarist
Dominic Miller, drummers Manu Katche and Vinnie Colaiuta - and
guest stars James Taylor, Stevie Wonder, Branford Marsalis, Chris
Boti and Cheb Mami, Sting's seventh solo studio outing builds on
the legacy of a visionary original, impatient with labels,
categories.
"How Soon is Now? will challenge most conventionally held
assumptions about the global environment" MobyThe World Needs to
ChangeWe have unleashed a mega-crisis threatening the future of
life on Earth. The actions we take over the next decade are
critical. They will determine the destiny of our descendants and
the fate of our world.Is It Too Late?How Soon is Now? presents a
compelling manifesto for personal and planetary change. It proposes
a new narrative for a unified social movement. Through global
cooperation, we can face this collective threat- ecologically,
socially, politically, and spiritually. We can launch a new
operating system for human society based on regenerative
principles.The Choice Is OursAccepting this crisis as our
initiation, we can choose to evolve to the next level of
consciousness as a species. We can do more than survive: we can
thrive."A blueprint for the future" Russell Brand
Digitally remastered reissue of the 1991 album includes one bonus video track 'This Time'. Recorded at Studio Guilaume Tell, Paris, France and Villa Salviati, Migliarino, Italy. Sting's most personal solo album (it was written in response to the death of his father), The Soul Cages is also his most ambitious. Many of the tracks ('Island of Souls', 'Mad About You') verge (impressively) on classical art song territory. For some, however, the good news here is that Sting is playing bass again; his simple yet effective lines are heard to particular advantage on the upbeat pop gem 'All This Time'. Another high point is 'Saint Agnes and the Burning Town', a flamenco-inflected instrumental tour de force unlike anything in Sting's catalogue. 2005.
Sting and his wife Trudie Styler, along with an ensemble of actors,
singers and musicians, bring to life the tragic love between the
composer Robert Schumann and his pianist wife Clara Wieck.
Reflecting the separation that came to be such a central theme of
their lives, the performers are divided into male and female
groups. Sting reads the letters of Robert Schumann, with his songs
sung by Iain Burnside, while Trudie Styler reads Clara's letters,
with her songs being sung by Rebecca Evans.
