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.

Sting (vocals, bass); Dominic Miller (guitar); Branford Marsalis (saxophone); Kenny Kirkland (keyboards); Manu Katche (drums).
