詳細説明
The sombre, personal Soul Cages is a testament to Sting's strength as a storyteller. Each song creates its own dark, lonely world with recurring themes of sea, ships and filial love. The album opens with the wistful, virtually mist-drenched "Island of Souls", a tale of a shipbuilder's son orphaned by an accident who dreams of the open sea. Later, that sea becomes a prison for a lovelorn sailor in "Why Should I Cry for You?" Throughout, Sting dispenses with the conventions of pop lyrical structure. Saxophones, oboe and Northumbrian pipes reinforce the folksy feel of the instrumentation. Arguably the best song on the album, "Mad About You", is a mystical ballad about a king who has everything except the woman he loves. Grand, elegiac and allegorical, Soul Cages stands as one of Sting's most downcast recordings, and one of his most compelling. --Courtney Kemp
内容紹介
Digitally remastered reissue of the 1991 album includes one bonus video track 'This Time'. 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. 2005.
