''Songs from the Labyrinth'' is the eighth studio album by British singer-songwriter Sting. On this album, he collaborates with Bosnian lutenist Edin Karamazov. The album features music by composer John Dowland. It entered the UK Official Albums Chart at #24〔(UK Albums Chart for the week of 21 October 2006 ), The Official Charts.〕 and reached #25 on the ''Billboard'' 200, strong charting peaks for a classical record on the pop album charts. The release was a slow seller for a Sting album, his first since 1986's ''Bring on the Night'' to fail to break the UK top 10.〔(Sting in the UK Charts ), The Official Charts.〕 The album was released and re-released in several versions: LP vinyl and CD editions with 23 tracks, a CD/DVD edition with 8 tracks on the CD and a DVD documentary, ''The Journey and the Labyrinth'' (released in both "CD size" and "DVD size" packaging), and a CD re-release with 26 tracks (including live versions of Sting's own "Fields of Gold" and "Message in a Bottle", originally recorded with The Police). In late August 2013, a "Dowland Anniversary Edition" was released, which includes 32 tracks on one CD (the full original album, six live versions of album tracks and Sting's non-Dowland live songs), as well as a DVD with the original documentary.〔("Songs from the Labyrinth: Dowland Anniversary Edition" on amazon.co.uk )〕 ==Track listing== For the original CD program, the music was composed by John Dowland except for "Have You Seen the Bright Lily Grow", a song by Dowland's contemporary Robert Johnson. The 2008 re-release adds two live recordings of Sting-penned songs performed on lutes, as well as a live recording, in the same style, of "Hellhound on My Trail" by another Robert Johnson - the Delta blues musician, and an alternate version of "Have You Seen the Bright Lily Grow". The latter is omitted from the 2013 "Dowland Anniversary Edition" of the album, which, however, includes all of the live recordings. The track list includes readings from a (letter ) by Dowland to Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury.
