Live a Paris in Super Jewel Box showcases one of the best reggae artists alive. His authentic revolutionary music that fights for the rights of his people at the level of Marley and many other geniuses of the last century it's no wonder Fakoly is so well recognized and respected.
The second album by Jah Wobble's Invaders of the Heart continued the bassist's exploration into ethnic fusion, merging together music from different world traditions with pop production and his own dub-influenced bass guitar. Fans of Wobble's earlier work with Holgar Czukay and Public Image Limited might be surprised and a bit dismayed at first by the glossy production and pop nature of some of the tracks here; one would never have guessed that Wobble would come up with something as commercial as the Latin pop of "Ungodly Kingdom." However, much of the music is remarkable and on each listen seems to contain something new. Wobble is far more interested in experimentation than simply adding world sounds to pop music. The tracks with Middle Eastern influences, including the amazing "Everyman's an Island," are quite remarkable and most feature the fine talents of Natasha Atlas. Meanwhile, the trance-like opener, "Visions of You," which guests Sinéad O'Connor on vocals, is absolutely beautiful. On the title track, Wobble even returns to his past, with he and guitarist Justin Adams bringing the sound of early PiL forward ten years.
Famed and revered producer/bassist, Jah Wobble, makes his long awaited return to the postpunk sound that he helped birth in the pioneering Public Image Ltd.! Co-written, produced and performed with Jon Klein (Siouxsie & The Banshees / Specimen) whose guitar work makes him the perfect partner for this project!
The Butterfly Effect, Jah Wobble's follow up to his recent and acclaimed Dream World album, features a collection of eight tracks that lyrically tackle (sometimes with tongue in cheek) subjects such as the nature of mind, the post modern age and what it is to be human. The album was recorded at Inner Space Studios in London. All of the songs collected here originated from poems that were written by the legendary bass player around the time of the global financial crash of ten years ago. 'The Iron Lady Got Rust' in particular looks back to a time which saw Thatcher impose UK banking deregulation and the free market political and economic attitudes that led to the crash and subsequently to modern day austerity and Brexit.
