That is how you feel at the end of the CD. It is clear that several of the themes can, and hopefully will, be developed into more articulated pieces of music. In particular, Slither has a melancholic, rarefied feel reminiscent of the dreamworld of Nino Rota, and Regret is very appropriately titled: a tantalizing theme that screams to be developed. Most of the titles are well-known to true devoted fans: as a counterpoint to the more introspective compositions, there is his love for the ebullient, luminous, joyous African and Caribbean music. This gives you an insight into a man with a multicultural upbringing, and a musician who has always given ample clues of how he relishes taking refuge in an alter ego.
It's also interesting to see which tracks Stewart has chosen to represent the most significant moments of his solo career. He also gives some insight into the compositions, or about the circumstances in which they were written, in the liner notes. His is an incredibly variegated musical world, whose common denominator is the unmistakable, trademark Copeland sound.
Stewart has once described his music as "knotty". It is certainly not as commercial and immediate as the Police's, but this complexity is certainly more intriguing than, say, a C round like Every Breath You Take, with all due respect for the megahit.
Stewart's musical universe resembles a maze or a rollercoaster ride: once you get in, or on board, you are magically captivated and get more and more into it until you find that the knots are all loose.
