Album Notes All songs on NADA COMO EL SOL are from the NOTHING LIKE THE SUN album but are sung in either Portuguese or Spanish.Producers: Jose Quintana, Bryan Loren, Sting. It's difficult to gauge whether NADA COMO EL SOL was a marketing ploy or a heartfelt attempt at crossover. In 1988, Sting re-recorded his vocals for five songs from his smash NOTHING LIKE THE SUN album in Spanish and Portuguese. In many ways, the decision makes aesthetic sense, as the original songs all have Latin-tinged arrangements, and Der Stingle himself seems quite at ease with the translations. Whether one really needs to own NADA COMO EL SOL, however--anymore than, say, Peter Gabriel's German version of "Shock the Monkey"-is debatable, though the set will certainly appeal to completists and those fluent in Spanish and/or Portuguese.
