This EP is a fascinating snapshot of Sting in the early 90s, offering a dual experience. You get the sleek, slightly industrial synth-pop punch of the title track, tailored for a blockbuster action film, which then gives way to the warm, immediate energy of live performances. It's Sting's distinctive baritone, his thoughtful lyrics, and his band's tight musicianship, all captured with the vibrant spontaneity of a concert in Italy. Own it for the unique re-interpretation of a classic and the chance to feel like you're right there in the audience for his enduring solo material.
