World Gone Strange
World Gone Strange is a 1991 solo album by Andy Summers. It was his first solo album which did not involve producer David Hentschel, and the last one recorded for the jazz fusion label Private Music. The title track presents a distinct descending pattern and features a wordless vocal by Summers himself. Summers utilized one of his own mixed media compositions for the cover.
