"- the condition whereby musicians d'un certain age refuse to accept
the inevitable (that talent and inspiration are finite qualities for
99 per cent of artists), and start dabbling, pompously and long-
windedly, outside their comfort zone."
"Sting's take on the oeuvre of melancholic Elizabethan composer
lutist John Dowland, sounds a bit as if Sting has been caught
moonlighting at one of those olde-worlde theme restaurants where
people dress up as serving wenches or Henry VIII. There's not even a
cheeky hidden track, a nod to former Police fans like myself
('Walketh on the Moon'?), to lighten the mood a little. Which sort of
says it all really."
