Uke "The Dream of the Blue Turtles," this latest release has a Jazz Influence, even moreso. Sting (a.k.a. Gordon Sumner) worked extensively with Jazz musician Gil Evans during his two-year hiatus from The Police and the result Is an almost all Jazz album. The new record Is also uncommonly long(30:39 side one), but Sting Is definitely not common. Side one contains six songs:" Lazarus Heart," "Be Still My Beating Heart," "Englishman In New York," "History Will Teach Us Nothing," "They Dance Alone(Gueca Song)," and "Fragile."

Currently receMng air play on WWCU, "We'll Be Together" Is an upbeat love song. Other than the lyrics, the only explanation Sting offers Is the following quote: "| shall meet you outside the railway station, you shall know me by the cut of my clothes and the smell of mycologne." "SIsterMoon" contains the album title which Is a quote from a Shakespearean sonnet. Sting was accosted late one night by a drunk asking "How beautiful Is the moon? How beautiful Is the moon?" Sting replied: "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun." He adds that the song Is for lunatics everywhere. "Little Winep" Is a Jiml Hendrlx original Sting recreated with Gil Evans.

Thlssepa- ratlon enabled the choir to receive financial assistance from WCU's Office of Student Development. Since the choir was formed. it has lost to graduation a number of dedicated members. Including Michael Clark. Larry Naylor. Shaun Berry. David Edwards, and David Roberts. The choir has established many credits, Including two appearances at the 1982 World's Fair In Knoxvllle.
