"I now feel somewhat deprived at not having seen this IMAX movie as of yet as if the soundtrack is anything to go by, it must be fantastic. I bought this CD purely because of Sting's name on the label and was pleasantly suprised to notice that the music herein differs from anything I have heard from any of his studio albums. Many of the songs seem to be in a similar vein to "St. Agnes and the burning train" from the Soul Cages and it is good to see the original album version included along with Fragile. The entire album is full of relaxing ocean music with a twist of some of Sting's earlier work interspersed for good measure. As others have stated, some existing songs such as "Why Should I Cry For You" have been taken and given acoustic interludes which helps them flow seemlessly with the rest of the album. The whole CD can be played from start to finish easily and it is almost therapeutic in nature.From what I know, Sting did in fact write all the modified songs on this CD with the exception of the last two and that can only be a good thing. I can't really add much to what has already been said in terms of the quality and nature of of the songs included on this CD except that it really is a must buy. I would heartily endorse it to anyone interested in this style of music, and certainly to any Sting fan. My only gripe? Hard to spoil this flowing praise but what the hell is that live version of "One World is Enough / Love is the Seventh Wave" from Bring on the Night doing here!? It seems so absolutely of context...."
