Album Notes Personnel includes: Sting (vocals, bass); Dominic Miller (guitar); Branford Marsalis (saxophone); Kenny Kirkland (keyboards); Manu Katche (drums). Recorded at Studio Guilaume Tell, Paris, France and Villa Salviati, Migliarino, Italy. Sting's most personal solo album (it was written in response to the death of his father), THE SOUL CAGES is also his most ambitious. Many of the tracks (Island of Souls", "Mad About You") verge (impressively) on classical art song territory. For some, however, the good news here is that Sting is playing bass again; his simple yet effective lines are heard to particular advantage on the upbeat pop gem "All This Time." Another high point is "Saint Agnes and the Burning Town," a flamenco-inflected instrumental tour de force unlike anything in Sting's catalogue.

Reviews  Best Sting album!Review created: 04/18/08 by:  I know that people may not agree that this is Stings best album. He does have other good albums with some very good tracks that I love, but none are wholistically good. The Soul Cages is. Track after track it fits together though the songs vary in style, of course. All songs sound good. This is not a piecemeal album by any means. It is one of those rare albums in which every song sounds good. Review ID: 10000000006756284 Was this review helpful? Report this review SoulfulReview created: 03/18/07 by: A classic departure from POlice work but just as powerful. Insightful and peaceful musically and lyrically.. It seems to be less popular than other works he has done, but it is the type of record that takes you by surprise like a "Mercury Falling", and can listen to repeatedly.

Report this review  Sting - Soul CagesA lot of Sting's music steers away from the quality of Fields of Gold (a popular hit), and leans towards an adult style of music that muses over philosophical and metaphysical issues. Soul Cages does not echo Sting's Police days, neither does it reflect the popular tunes that we hear on the radio. This is an album that leans towards Sting's jazz preferences and as such is suitable for the discerning adult listener. Review ID: 10000000002654762 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
