World Gone Strange is a 1991 solo album by Andy Summers. It was his first solo album which did not involve 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 rare vocal performance by Summers himself. Summers also decided to use one of his mixed media compositions for the cover.
