This is not older Sting, since it was released in 1995, but I STRONGLY
suggest that you get "Soundtrack from the Imax (R) Film The Living Sea
feauturing the music of Sting" (A&M records catalog #: 31454 0350 2).
This is some awesome stuff feauturing not just Sting, but other musicians
on synthesizers, saxes, guitars, ikauma drums, and steel pans along with
him. Here is the track listing:

1. Fragile
2. Why should I cry for you? (2:56)
3. Cool Breeze
4. Mad about you
5. Ocean Waltz
6. One World (Not three)/Love is the Seventh Wave
7. Why should I cry for you? (6:29)
8. Saint Agnes and the burning train
9. Tides
10. Why should I cry for you? (6:56)
11. Arrival
12. Jellyfish Lake
13. Fragile (Reprise)

I just got this, and it hasn't left my CD player. I saw the Imax film
quite a while back and had no clue that the music was released until I
saw it at Barnes and Noble. I have also seen it at Blockbuster Music
lately. It shouldn't be hard to find.

Peace,
