Unlike anything you probably ever expected from Charlie Watts, and quite unlike anything else, actually. Wonderfully complex but basic drumming, compelling loops and editing, with jazz progressions overlaying, complementing, or driving throughout. Anyone into the Stones, or drumming, or modern recording techniques....you gotta get this one! You can jog to it, too!

An excellent uplifting cd!- a jazz based cross platform that mixes styles and tempo, you can't help tapping, floating and trancing along with this one. I didn't know watt to expect, but these guys know how to mix it, turn up the volume and go with it...another project on the way?

This is an absolutely wicked album. There are two CD's in the box, a blue and a red, so you get loads for your hard-earned. The 'blue' is more accessible of the two, and basically grooving and funky. The 'red' is heavier and not so melodic, but has the most fantastic groovin' track called 'airto' - you just have to hear it. Charlie Watts is not 'Mr. Awesome Technique Drum Man', but if is responsible for putting this stuff together, then all power to him - he sure sets a nice groove going, and he obviously loves what he does. Don't worry, this music bears absolutely no resemblence to anything by the Stones (luckily). Great piano playing, some drum & base, some ethnic sounds, woodwind. Its different, unique & the best album I've bought for ages ....... the other reviews I read gave me the impression it was worth a punt. IT IS.
