20.30 Q&A med publikum
"Is there any meaning in coincidence? That's what I wanted this record to be about. It's a grand design, I'm not sure if it comes off or not.” (Sting interviewed by In The Studio)
På Police’s femte album tar Sting oss med ut av den materielle, deterministiske verden, og introduserer oss for psykolog Carl Gustav Jungs fascinerende teori om såkalt «synkronisitet», eller «meningsfulle sammentreff uten årsakssammenheng».
Den reggaefiserte, jazzrock fusioninfuserte, postpunka pop-trioen Stewart Copeland, Andy Summers og Gordon «Sting» Sumner påvirket en hel generasjon musikkhoder med sin unike banddynamikk. Bandets usedvanlig stramme rytmeseksjon og timing, deres kompromissløse holdninger, energiske vibb og komplekse musikalitet vant tilhørere fra alle leire.
Selv om Synchronicity skulle vise seg å bli siste akt for "Det største bandet i verden", som mange kritikere yndet å kalle dem på begynnelsen av 80-tallet, er denne klassikeren en viktig grunn til at The Police fortsatt figurer på listene over tidenes mest populære band.
Sammen med lytteklubbvert Kent Horne forteller forfatter og redaktør Rob Young historiene rundt bandet og musikken, deler sine tanker om det vi hører på denne innspillingen, før vi lener oss tilbake, skru opp volumet og lytter til Synchronicity fra begynnelse til slutt på et lydanlegg i audiofil verdensklasse.

"Is there any meaning in coincidence? That's what I wanted this record to be about. It's a grand design, I'm not sure if it comes off or not.” (Sting interviewed by In The Studio)
With The Police’s fifth studio release, Sting shook us out of this material, deterministic world and plunged into psychologist Carl Jung's theory of synchronicity, suggesting that coincidences may be the product of an unseen order in the universe.
With their own unique dynamic, the trio of Stewart Copeland, Andy Summers and Gordon "Sting" Sumner reached their peak with an exceptionally tight, energetic and relentless vibe. Synchronicity turned out to be the end of the journey for ‘The Biggest Band in the World’ at the time, but this landmark LP helped establish The Police as one of the greatest bands of all time.
Together with local CAS host Kent Horne, author and editor Rob Young tells the stories behind the songs (including the perfectly constructed single ‘Every Breath You Take’) and the troubled recording of Synchronicity on the Caribbean island of Montserrat. Then we can lean back, turn up the volume and listen to Synchronicity from beginning to end on a world class audiophile sound system.
