Rear sleeve notes:
On "Songs from the Labyrinth", Sting discovers the music of Elizabethan songwriter John Dowland: "beautiful melodies, fantastic lyrics, great accompaniments". In close collaboration with lutenist Edin Karamazov, he interweaves songs with instrumental solos and evocative readings from a Dowland letter. together they create what Sting calls "a musical sound-track" to the composer's life.
