View More By Sting Our ReviewAfter disbanding The Police at the pinnacle of their international fame in 1984, Sting returned forcefully to the jazz and prog-rooted music he had been playing before his foray into pop, infusing it with timely doses of world music and even some classical touches in the bargain. His 1985 debut Dream of the Blue Turtles seemed to alienate one former Police fan for every new admirer Sting won over, but this 1987 follow-up argued he had no intention turning back. The album reunite sthe singer with Blue Turtles collaborator Branford Marsalis, with jazz notable Gil Evans also contributing to the album's upscale cover of Hendrix's "Little Wing" So serious was Sting's introspective lyrical muse on the project that his label reportedly demanded the addition of the upbeat, blue-eyed soul single "We'll Stay Together," a hit that does little to betray the project's often dour tone. Still, the stridency of "History Will Teach Us Nothing" is countered by fine performances like "Fragile" and "Be Still My Beating Heart," arguing that Sting's ambitious talents aren't always in sync with his conscientious heart and guilt-ridden soul.. Customer ReviewsIt doesn't get any better than this. (5 stars)I bought this album from iTunes months ago and didn't really pay much attention to it back then. I own most of his discography and have always been a huge Sting fan. But something happened recently when I bought a new turntable and ridiculously expensive cartridge and began listening to my old LP collection.

(5 stars) Sting has never failed to impress me, but out of all of his albums (Police included) this is my favorite. Sister Moon is so atmospheric and tranquil. His version of little wing is beautiful. They dance alone.... there is not a bad song on this album. I listen to all kinds of music, though I've always been a metal purist; yet this album remains in my top 5 favorite albums of all time! BiographyBorn: October 02, 1951 in Wallsend, EnglandGenre: Rock Years Active: '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s After disbanding the Police at the peak of their popularity in 1984, Sting quickly established himself as a viable solo artist, one obsessed with expanding the boundaries of pop music. Sting incorporated heavy elements of jazz, classical, and worldbeat into his music, writing lyrics that were literate and self-consciously meaningful, and he was never afraid to emphasize this fact in the press. For such unabashed ambition, he was equally loved and reviled, with supporters believing that he was at...
