The Great Puzzle is an album by the American musician Jules Shear, released in 1992.[2][3] The initial pressings of the album were packaged with the acoustic EP Unplug This.[4]
"The Sad Sound of the Wind" was the first single.[5] Shear promoted the album with a North American tour, including shows with Alison Moyet.[6] The album sold fewer than 100,000 copies.[7]
The album was produced by Stewart Lerman and Shear.[8] Shear considered it to be made up of independent songs taken from his life experience; he tried to avoid writing songs that contained overt social themes.[9] Shear employed the lower end of his vocal range on many tracks.[10] Tony Levin played bass on the album.[11] "Something Else to Me" is about the death of a former girlfriend.[12]
