Me too! I know Fafard's work since he released his first album with Spaced Out.
B.t.w. Sverrisson also played with Allan Holdsworth, my favourite guitarist.

Blue Turtles is spotless formally and stylistically, whereas ..Nothing Like puts to (temporary) rest claims of Sting as a soulless, smug and egotistical dude. a convincingly personal take on melody, harmony and lyrics, terrific vocal chops, wonderful band and musicians.. back then, he had it all.
