Full Album Listen for Sting's "Ten Summoner's Tales"

"Ten Summoner's Tales" is the 4th solo studio album by English musician Sting, and this'll be my 3rd full album listen feature. For me, the Sting-soundscape I/we hear today was formed from this album (different in tone from NOTHING LIKE THE SUN and THE DREAM OF BLUE TURTLES, IMHO, which felt more indie and "The Police" influenced), and is thus far the start of a more "commercially" acceptable sound, methinks, at least in my untrained ears, cheers.

Tracklist:
1. Prologue (If I Ever Lose My Faith in You) (4:30)
2. Love Is Stronger Than Justice (The Munificent Seven) (5:12)
3. Fields of Gold (3:42)
4. Heavy Cloud No Rain (3:39)
5. She's Too Good for Me (2:30)
6. Seven Days (4:40)
7. Saint Augustine in Hell (5:05)
8. It's Probably Me (4:57)
9. Everybody Laughed but You (3:53)
10. Shape of My Heart (4:38)
11. Something the Boy Said (5:13)
12. Epilogue (Nothing 'Bout Me) (3:39)

Showcased in this blogpost are 2 of it's U.S. hit singles; "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You", "Fields of Gold" and a memorable "Shape of My Heart", plus "Live From Lake House" (Wiltshire, England, 1993) performances, in lieu of "audio only" features I've showcased in the past.
