Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Mood Music Comment: Sunday afternoon. 91st and Second on the 36th floor with a south and west view. Distant sound of tires turning on wet asphalt. Sun breaking through the clouds after a spring rain. Little Miss Bright Eyes (who never needed makeup in her entire life) is curled up on the couch in a French tee and her undies studying Laing's Knots. You're in a -different- mood. You put -this- on. A half hour later everyone's knots have come... unraveled. Copious research has demonstrated conclusively that "Fields of Gold" is dead on-target for sophisticated beauties who like their romance multi-sensory. There's a reason this guy has sold more than 45 millions copies of his work (and who knows how many more that were burned in Guangzhau without paying him), and the reason is evident right here. Clever lyrics, hook-saturated melodies, uptown arrangements, consistent mood. Enya meets Paul Simon to go ska-ing on a finger lick of MDA. Good as The Police were (and evidently still are), this is quite a ways up the road from "Message in a Bottle" or "Roxane." That said, those arrested by The Police in the '80s will have little trouble moving up from that snarling Porsche to this purring Mercedes. "Fields of Gold" may be one of the best compilations of the '90s because it plays like an original album. Sophisticated girls like a mood, ya know. Customer Rating: Summary: Gets me every time Comment: "Fields of Gold" gets me every time. That was the one reason I purchased this CD. The rest of the CD is okay. The "Fields of Gold" can, I believe, move one to tears. I'm not a rock fan but every once in a while, certain songs have a way of moving one to real emotional feelings. Was it worth the price? Lock, stock and barrel... Great Musicians! Customer Rating: Summary: Sting: Fields of Gold Comment: Throughout all the different phases of Sting's career (with the Police and solo), I have to say this complilation is my favorite...something I have listened to over and over and never get tired of. Customer Rating: Summary: Completely Satisfied, Thankyou Comment: A disc that I previously had but must have sold or lost it.. Great to get it back, and though used it is in great shape as expected. Just love this disc, total satisfaction, thankyou very much for your help. Aloha. Customer Rating: Summary: Great songs, where's vol. 2? Comment: Sting left the Police and had a tremendously successful solo career. Lots of great songs are on this cd, I just wish a couple more had made it like "It's Probably Me", "Shape of My Heart", "Love is the 7th Wave", "Seven Days" and "Soul Cages". The songs on here are great so I want to give it 5 stars but Sting has released so many more good songs and albums since this that we really need a volume 2 and soon. But as far as the period that this compilation covers, it is a fine way to pick up his best material from those albums. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: A good overview of Sting's radio hits and popular album tracks with only one major omission ("Mad About You"), Fields of Gold also offers three previously-unreleased songs. "This Cowboy Song" and "When We Dance" appear on no other album, while "We'll Be Together" is an alternate version. The import version of this collection offers a substantially different (and expanded) track listing, dropping "Fortress Around Your Heart," "Be Still My Beating Heart," and "Why Should I Cry for You"; and adding "Mad About You," "Nothing 'Bout Me," "Seven Days," "It's Probably Me," "Love is the Seventh Wave," and "Demolition Man." --Gavin McNett
