Not only did "The Dream of the Blue Turtles" mark a stark different path Sting took outside of the Police, but it demonstrated Sting's lively persona perhaps for the last time before he became intense and mature. His debut effort may not be his best, yet it is indeed his most energetic and enticing record.

The music is of great variety, and the songs' only overall similarity is all being deeply jazz-influenced. Sting had a superb band at the time; thus, in addition to his powerful voice and expert songwriting, the instrumental background is exceptionally enjoyable, which is proven on the instrumental track with the same title as the album.

Some of Sting's best songs appeared on the CD. For instance, "Fortress around Your Heart" blends rock and jazz flawlessly, "Russians" features a magnificent symphony adorned with Sting's high vocals, and the jazz track "Moon over Bourbon Street," inspired by the novel "Interview with a Vampire" is atmospheric especially when Sting's voice rises near the end of the song. Moreover, the album also contains Sting's first solo hit, the clever-titled "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free," the jolly "Love Is the Seventh Wave," with Sting rewinding the memories of the Police at the final, poignant political tracks "Children's Crusade" and "We Work the Black Seam," and other unforgettable moments.

Literary allusions are commonplace in the lyrics, which has almost become one of Sting's distinctive characteristics. It amazes me that he could come up with such brilliant ideas to support his argument, and the words he used are poetic and incredibly fitting.

In conclusion, "The Dream of the Blue Turtles" is both entertaining and inspiring. The political status during the period may have turned into historical facts, yet Sting's songs are compelling nevertheless which evidence his intellect and musical flair. Also, the inner-reflected ones will be my guidance forever whatever I will encounter in my life.		”

Yes, that is true, the password mentioned is just a measure to keep automated bots from copying the post to their site. Some don't care, but some do not want their visitors knowing they rip off their content from Avaxhome.

Thanks for this post, nice work.

MANY THANKS for this! Incidentally, if you are a fan of Stinge & you haven't watched a recent docu of him returning to Newcastle & going all 'Celtic/Folky' - my advice: DON'T! I always thought that the Music Press gave him an unjustifiably hard time, until I saw the docu: MY GOD, talk about POMPOUS!
Thanks again, ESPECIALLY for the RS Links - so nice to start the year WITHOUT seeing the Avax FS-blight.
