What really struck me was the device of constructing a string of different
chords around the same bass notes/chord base that Pete often uses. Anybody
agree?

I think that's a really good observation, and one that hadn't come to my mind
until I read your post. I look at The Police in much the same way that I
look at one of my very favorite bands, Pearl Jam. In each case, by and
large, each album was better than the last. I think PJ is getting better
with each release. Stewart Copeland is a measured, but truly outstanding
drummer. And, of course, Andy Summers is an alum of the finest university in
the U.S. (Cal State Northridge)
