5.0 out of 5 stars The great breakthrough for Andy Summers, November 1, 2007
This review is from: Charming Snakes (Audio CD)
On this album, Andy Summers dumps his "XYZ" pop for new age instrumentalism, and even one listen to this album makes it pretty clear that this is his true post-Police calling. Working with a select group of notable musicians including the great Herbie Hancock, he, Hancock and others help to carefully create this album full of blazing guitar riffs, pounding drums, and well-arranged synthesizers. Highlights include the uplifting "Mexico 1920" and the darker but no-less-outstanding "Rainmaker" and "Big Thing".

5.0 out of 5 stars Very charming indeed, July 21, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Charming Snakes (Audio CD)
The best Andy Summer record of all time. Released by then Peter Baumann's Private Music Label. I only heard to 2 tracks back in the late 80's from the Private Music sampler and it strongly struck me. A blend of new age? Jazz? Rock? Reggae? Pop? or all of the above. Supported by Chad Wackerman, Mark Isham et al this is vintage Andy Summers at his peak. Don't expect a Police record though one can hear Summer's guitar riffs reminiscent of his former band. A good addition for a taste of Andy Summer's post Police ventures.
