Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Album Description

This DTS release of Sting's triple platinum Ten Summoner's Tales superbly remixed into 5.1 Digital Surround to enrich its already passionate and densely refined delivery. Enjoy 'If I Ever Lose My Faith In You' and 'Fields Of Gold' and other hits for this masterpiece as never before. Packaged in a DTS jewel box.

The former jazzman-turned-punk is now more middle-of-the-road than a yellow stripe. But Ten Summoner's Tales is by far the most engaging of his solo records. The singles "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You" and "Fields of Gold" prove the man can lighten up long enough to go deep. "She's Too Good For Me" would have been a good Police single if it weren't for the pseudo-classical midsection that takes its joke far too seriously. Still, you wish he would loosen up and enjoy the rock once in a while. --Robert Wilonsky

One of Stings best... I love it. It is one of those albums you pop in and listen to the whole thing no problem.

(more than...) Ten standalone songs not tied up between each other build a non-conceptual artwork, full of remarkable moments a few masterpieces and a couple of breakdowns, bringing Sting back from the shadows of dark jazz, politics, lost causes and death apology to the pop mainstream he left behind when The Police broke up at their success peak, almost a decade before, much more optimistic and colorful than his previous solo efforts proving, by the way, that musicians are not necessarily good politicians as well...

Simple pop songs and understandable lyrics under a solid musical foundation, with a pinch of jazz influence, altogether make this album a worthy piece.

No matter what the critics experimentalists said, this is Sting's best solo album.

Stop.

This is simply one of the most incredible albums that I have ever owned. I only recently purchased it, because I continue to discover a lot of music from every genre, and feel like I have to give each musician their fair and equal listen. However, I have always loved what I heard of Sting, and I find myself buying more and more... it's always original, always amazing. And this CD has monopolized my stereos, iPod and car. Do yourself a favor and buy it as soon as possible.

Ten Summoner's Tales is the fourth solo album by Sting. The title is a combined pun of his given name, Gordon Sumner, and Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales character, the summoner. It explores themes of love and morality in a noticeably upbeat mood compared to his previous release, the introspective The Soul Cages, cool jazzy to it as well. The only problem is, "Everybody Laughed But You" track is not included! If you like jazz, pop jazz, easy listening etc then this is the one for you! Great stuff!
