Do you think Ed borrowed the airy guitar tone from Andy Summers of the Police?

That is absolutely, 100% right. Unfortunately Stink started his journey into adult contemporary during the Synchronicity era which is why that album is my least favorite. With songs like "Wrapped Around Your Finger" (my least favorite Police song), "Tea In The Sahara," "Every Breath You Take" and "Walking In Your Footsteps," it was painfully clear what direction he was going in. Too bad. The album (and tour) had some really good songs like "Synchronicity I & II," "Murder By Numbers" and "Miss Gradenko," but boy those ballads were so BORING! The band pretty much had to break up. Stewart Copeland must have gone insane playing ballad after ballad on that tour.
