Title: Old and new
Review: Following the radical departure of "Dream of the Blue Turtles," Sting is free to experiment further with different, sometimes mellow styles. The results are mixed in this long, eclectic album. His political song, "They Dance Alone," holds up well despite its datedness of specific subject matter. (The sleeve notes give thanks to Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler for playing on it, but where the deuce are they? I sure can't hear them anywhere!) "We'll Be Together" is a disappointing late eighties echo drum machine dance thing. Overall it's enjoyable, and you can pick your own favorites.
