The PineBoys explain why they chose Synchronicity: Ron Porter says:" I remember watching MTV for hours on end and looking at these amazing videos the group made. The music was great, but the videos took the music from the album and took you on a visual journey and gave you a feeling that you wereactually in the video. Each of their videos were a surreal experience." Leslie Robinson says:" I've was a fan of the band ever since their 1979 album, Reggatta de Blanc, so I actually got to hear the group grow as a band. Synchronicity for me is the perfect end piece to their tenure together as a band at that point in time. The album takes you on a musical journey from beginning to end and is personally one of my top 10 albums ever." Preferred Tracks: Synchronicity I--A fast paced beginning to start the album. Synchronicity II----Compleately different vibe from the other song, the video for this song is great. Every Breath You Take--Their biggest hit single, the group won two Grammys for this song, one for Best Song and the other for Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group. The song is #84 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time. The song also ranks at #25 on Billboard's All Time Top 100. The video (directed by Godley&Creme) is ranked #16 by MTV and #33 by VH1 in their list of Top 100 Videos Of All Time. King Of Pain---Leslie's favorite song on the album. Wrapped Around Your Finger Tea In The Sahara---The song has a certain world music vibe about it. Murder By Numbers---Fantastic ending to a great album. Released in June 1983 by A&M Records, the album topped both the Billboard Pop Albums and Billboard 200 charts(ending the reign of Micheal Jackson's album, Thriller for a while) and won a Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group. In 2003, the album was ranked number 455 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The Greatest Albums Of All Time. The album was produced by Hugh Padgham and The Police. Both Rolling Stone and Allmusic gave the album four and a half stars out of five. |
