"Global A Go-Go" stands as a creative singularity in the universe of musical progression. Strummer seems to have drawn-in every possible influence with an irresistible creative pull. The result is an amazing amalgamation of wafting strings, ethnic percussion, universal melodies, Strummer has forged a truly innovative and personal piece of work.
