Jah Wobble | ||
Allmusic Biography : Jah Wobble is one of the genuine polymaths to emerge from the British post-punk scene of the late 1970s. He is a virtuoso bassist, composer, producer, journalist, poet and author. As a musician, his dub-heavy style weds reggae, jazz, funk, punk, and numerous global folk traditions (from Celtic to Asian music and more), he has influenced an entire generation of players. Wobble emerged as the bassist in Public Image Ltd., but left after two albums to pursue an idiosyncratic musical path that began with the album Betrayal in 1980. It won the respect of his peers. His 1982 offering, Snake Charmer, a mini-album with Cans Holger Czukay and U2 guitarist the Edge, won international acclaim and even hit the British charts. Disillusioned with the music business and suffering from acute alcohol addiction, Wobble walked away from music during the late 80s to become a ticket taker on the London Underground. He returned in 1991 with Rising Above Bedlam with his erstwhile Invaders of the Heart collective; it was nominated for a Mercury Prize. After issuing the experimental dub offering Heaven & Earth in 1997 and The Inspiration of William Blake in 1998, Wobble left the major labels behind for a time and formed his own label, 30 Hertz Records, to issue a string of critically lionized, groundbreaking albums in a wide variety of genres including the jazz fusion date The Light Programme and the vanguard Passage to Hades with Evan Parker. After five more albums with Invaders of the Heart, including The Celtic Poets and Molam Dub, Wobble put the outfit to bed in 2003 and issued a string of solo and collaborative discs, including Live in Leuven with Cans Jaki Leibzeit and DJ/producer Philip Jeck, before resurrecting his group for 2016s studio set Everything Is No Thing. Born John Wardle, Jah Wobble was an old friend of Sex Pistols singer Johnny Rotten. When the Pistols broke up, Rotten formed Public Image Ltd., and Wobble became the bass player. After the groups first few albums, Wobble had a falling out with Rotten (now Lydon) and guitarist Keith Levene and departed for a solo career, also collaborating with artists such as Can members Jaki Liebezeit and Holger Czukay, and U2s the Edge. Wobbles solo repertoire ranges from pop to pseudo-reggae to "difficult to listen to" experimentation. In the late 80s, his career took a nosedive, and he had a job sweeping train stations. He began listening to music from places like North Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe and formed Invaders of the Heart with guitarist Justin Adams. The single "Bomba" brought Wobble back into the public eye in 1990, and he collaborated with Sinéad OConnor and Primal Scream in addition to releasing the Invaders of the Heart album Rising Above Bedlam in 1991. Three years later, he released Take Me to God, which featured a number of guest appearances from the likes of Gavin Friday. In 1995, he released Psalms, followed in 1996 by The Inspiration of William Blake. In 1997 Wobble formed his own label, 30 Hertz, to release Jah Wobble Presents the Light Programme. Umbra Sumus appeared the following year. In 1999, he released Deep Space, which featured appearances from Bill Laswell and Jaki Liebezeit. In the new century, Wobble became prolific. His first release was Full Moon Over the Shopping Mall, issued in the spring of 2000, followed by Molam Dub that fall. Passage to Hades with Evan Parker appeared in spring 2001. In 2002, Wobble began a series of interconnected -- sometimes short-lived -- collaborative groups to execute specifically minded projects. First, Temple of Sound -- with Natasha Atlas, Nina Miranda, and Shahin Badar -- released Shout at the Devil. That same year, Solaris: Live in Concert reunited Wobble with Laswell and Liebezeit, along with pianist Harold Budd and cornetist Graham Haynes. Reed and woodwind master Clive Bell and trumpeter Harry Beckett assisted Wobble with the nocturnal club jazz that was Fly later in the year. In 2003, he resurrected another previous group he called Deep Space. This version contained original members Philip Jeck and drummer Mark Sanders with bagpipers Bell and Jean-Pierre Rasle, Beckett, guitarist Chris Cookson, and singer Cat Von Trapp. They released the full-length Five Beats. Bell, Rasle, and Cookson would continue to play with Wobble throughout the decade no matter the band, as evidenced by the ambitious English Roots Music (credited to his Invaders of the Heart project with Liz Carter on vocals). He also cut the soundtrack to the French film Fureur (Fury) for EastWest. Wobble and pedal steel legend B.J. Cole, with Bell, Cookson, and Beckett, cut the nocturnal jazz-dub recording Elevator Music, Vol. 1A in 2004. Later that year, Trojan Records honored Wobble with a career-spanning three-disc retrospective, I Could Have Been a Contender. The dub effort MU was issued by Trojan in 2005. In 2006 there were two Wobble offerings: the completely solo Alpha-One Three (titled for his taxi driver handle), which appeared in July, and Jah Wobble & the English Roots Band in November. The latter is interesting because after English Roots Music, these musicians became a band apart from Invaders of the Heart. This latter album was recorded live in one take in the studio to reflect the fearsome live energy of their concert performances. Trojan Records issued another of Wobbles wild takes on dub with Heart & Soul in 2007. This recording also brought Gregorian plainsong, Appalachian folk, and gospel into the mix, creating a past-future effect. The wildest was yet to come, however, as he brought dub to the East by employing Cookson, Sanders, and Bell alongside a group of Chinese traditional musicians to create the inimitable and provocative Chinese Dub in 2008. Car Ad Music, with Cookson, Bell, Beckett, and percussionist Neville Murray, was issued in 2009, and the (mostly) solo Welcome to My World arrived in 2010. Also in 2010, Wobble moved his dub fusion toward Japan with The Japanese Dub, recorded with the Nippon Dub Ensemble (Joji Hirota and Keiko Kitamura) with Bell and Robin Thompson guesting. Wobble was no less prolific in 2011, recording a pair of albums that are, as has become his wont, radically different from one another. The first, 7, issued on Pressure Sounds, was recorded by his Modern Jazz Ensemble as a tribute to his some of his jazz heroes -- Miles Davis, Donald Byrd, Weather Report, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, etc. The personnel include Cookson and Bell but also Marc Layton-Bennett (drums), George King (keyboards), Sean Corby (trumpet and flügelhorn), and Shri Sriram (tablas and bowed bass). The second offering of the year was a collaboration with guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, and celebrated post-punk revivalist Julie Campbell called Psychic Life, which was issued on Cherry Red in November. The following year, Wobble and Levene reunited for Yin & Yang, an exercise in deep dread dub and post-psychedelia. Two more collaborations were on tap for 2013: Kingdom of Fitzrovia with bassist Bill Sharpe was an exercise in electric jazz-EDM fusion, while Anomic with Marconi Union was an ambient dub offering. A year later, Sonar Kollectiv issued Inspiration, billed as "Jah Wobble Presents PJ Higgins." The set was co-produced by the bassist and showcased the singer in a variety of settings from soul and reggae to jazz and blues. In 2015, Cherry Red issued the massive Redux: Anthology 1978-2015. Containing five themed discs and one of covers, it was painstakingly and exhaustively annotated by the artist. Not resting on his laurels, Wobble undertook a PledgeMusic campaign later in the year to fund his next recording. He worked with Youth in Dub Trees, a fusion group that married dub with world and electronic music. Their Celtic Vedic album was issued in May. It was the first of three projects the pair would work on together that year. Wobbles crowdfunded jazz album Everything Is No Thing was issued in August and the first to be released on Jah Wobble Records. In addition to Youth as producer, it featured guests Tony Allen, Nik Turner, and Alabama 3 vocalist Aurora Dawn. Their third collaboration was a double-disc compilation simply titled In Dub, released in September. During an international tour, Wobble and his intrepid Invaders of the Heart played not only the new material, but revamped selections that ranged through his four-decade career. In early 2017 he decided to revisit them again, this time in a recording studio. Wobbles octet cut not only the iconic "Public Image," but also redid such identity-laden tunes as "Visions of You" (with Aurora Dawn on vocals), "Becoming More Like God," "Foderstompf," a live version of "Poptones," and the cinema themes hed peppered his sets with for years, including "Midnight Cowboy," "Get Carter," and more. The 25-track double-length set was issued in the early summer. In 2018, Wobble issued two albums, the first, Dream World, was recorded in his home studio and inspired by filmmaker Francois Truffaut as well as the bassists own memories of London, Brighton, and Manchester. The nine primarily instrumental compositions encompass funk, classical, jazz , reggae and electronic sounds. The second Maghrebi Jazz was recorded in collaboration with the Moroccan-born, London-based trio Momo (Music of Moroccan Origin) who created their own blend of traditional Moroccan music with techno, trance, garage, and breakbeat sounds. | ||

The Inspiration of William Blake : Allmusic album Review : From his early days on the British punk scene to his stint with Public Image Ltd., from his world music/dance fusions with the Invaders of the Heart to his later collaborations with Bill Laswell and Brian Eno, Jah Wobble has always been willing to try anything that strikes his fancy. Maybe that explains why he chose to write music to accompany the words of William Blake, the 19th century poet/artist/mystic cited as an influence by Beat writers like Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs. But Wobble went several steps further, creating a concept album using atmospheric textures as a backdrop for his recitations of some of Blakes greatest poems. Skip past the repetitive opening track, "Songs of Innocence," and the rest of the album is a delightfully unusual marriage of spoken word and music. "Lonely London" features former Can drummer Jaki Liebezeit, whose intricate grooves meet Mark Ferdas rich atmospheric textures and Wobbles hypnotic dub bassline to form a swirling psychedelic vision Blake would be proud of, while "Bananas" uses percussion, synths, and samples to create an ethnic-influenced sound not unlike Dead Can Dance gone techno. The first release from Wobbles 30 Hertz label, this album foretells intriguing future output. | ||

Heaven & Earth : Allmusic album Review : Fusing Eastern and Western classical influences with elements of ambient, dub, and hip-hop, Jah Wobble has created a truly brilliant pancultural concept album. The title track opens the LP with a near-orchestral range of dynamic emotions centered around Zi Lan Liaos vocals and violin, Kui Hsuing Lis soaring bamboo flute, and Wobbles percolating tribal drums. "A Love Song" is a hypnotic dub track showcasing the vocal talents of Natacha Atlas, whose Middle Eastern melody lends a sultry feel to the song, perfectly matched by the sensual bassline. Bill Laswell lends his distinctive touch on "Gone to Croatan" and "Hit Me," which perfectly match the hip-hop beats and turntable wizardry provided by DJs DXT and Rob Swift, with Pharoah Sanders mind-bending flute and horn solos and Bernie Worrells synth textures. But the pièce de résistance is "Om Namah Shiva," which combines Najma Akhtars nimble vocal calisthenics and Inder Matharus dazzling tabla rhythms with programmed percussion and Wobbles bottom-end bass wallop to create a highly effective world/dance track. Laswell himself calls Heaven and Earth "the best thing Jah Wobble has ever recorded." Who are we to argue? | ||

Requiem : Allmusic album Review : An extended orchestral composition that presents the spiritual life of a soul in five parts, Requiem makes absolutely no reference to Jah Wobbles past in either rock or his more dance-oriented productions. These are beautiful, deliberative works written for strings and a five-person choir, with a libretto that borrows many phrases from The Book of Common Prayer. Though synthesizers do play a large part on the album, Requiem doesnt sound like a synthesized work, since the tones are so similar to their organic equivalents. On the third track, Wobbles electric bass is heard with a small amount of percussion, but for the great majority of this work, English rectors will be much happier with this than post-punk fans. | ||

Umbra Sumus : Allmusic album Review : The strange, spiritual album that is Umbra Sumus is one of the more interesting items released in 1998. Bassist and composer Jah Wobble creates strangely compelling soundscapes that draw textures from a variety of ethnic traditions without explicitly evoking any one of them. The first cut, "Il Jevedro il Oblanco," sets the pace with a duet for what sounds like a toy music box and fuzz bass, but suddenly becomes a lush electronica-pop track as vocalist Amila Sulejmanovic begins singing in Bosnian. Elsewhere, Natacha Atlas croons in Arabic over a texture not of ouds and doumbeks, but of synthesized percussion, keyboards, and Wobbles own throbbing bass, and it sounds perfectly natural. "I Offer You Everything" blends reggae percussion, piano, and B.J. Coles wonderful pedal steel guitar to create something that should have been a crossover pop hit. At times, Jah Wobbles music verges on art-jazz, at times electronica with melodic sound effects, and at times it is in territory that doesnt have a name because nobody else sounds quite like this. Whatever you call this music, it is interesting throughout. Though styles shift continuously, there isnt a dud track on Umbra Sumus, and its a must-have for those who like intelligent and highly textured pop. The name of this album translates as "We Are Shadows," but many listeners will find that this music sheds welcome light on the possibilities of musical fusion. | ||

The Five Tone Dragon : Allmusic album Review : Ostensibly a showcase for Zi Lan Liao, who plays ku-cheng and Chinese harp, The Five Tone Dragon is, as might be expected, as much a showcase for Jah Wobbles world music preoccupations. Handfuls of musical ideas are taken up and strewn across expansive landscapes; the title track is a mere 15-and-a-half-minutes in length, while "The River" clocks in at more than 30. A bewildering variety of instruments come into play throughout, from the ku-cheng and harp to Wobbles bass, Jean Pierre Rasles bagpipes and crumhorn, the usual wind battery from Clive Bell, and so on. A rapid marching drum rhythm drives much of "The Five Tone Dragon," while "The River" serves up tradition with a side order of pyrotechnic percussion work, programmed drums, ambient thinking, trumpet solos, and more. While these two pieces are certainly lengthy, and sometimes mildly confusing, they are certainly never boring. It should also be noted that Wobble turns in some of his tightest, cleanest bass playing on record for this set, providing a wonderful anchor for everything else thats going on. The Five Tone Dragon somehow managed to fall between the cracks despite being on Wobbles own label, and its a true shame. This is worthy of much greater attention. | ||

Molam Dub : Allmusic album Review : Molam is a particularly lascivious (and versatile) style of courtship music traditional to Southern Laos. Very popular in the country of its origin, as well as Thailand, molam survived a thousand years of musical generations, eventually incorporating both pop and electronic elements. Perhaps it wasnt such a culture shock then when Jah Wobble proposed a recording date with a group of molam singers and his own Invaders of the Heart. The resulting Molam Dub is just that, a true stylistic collision between traditional Laotian voices and Wobbles technologically updated instrumental reggae. The songs work best when musical lines blur, the sound of crumhorn, shinoube, and khene (a distant cousin of the bagpipe) seeping across bass and drum tracks like the keyboards and guitars of old. Though the beats may not be the most inventive of Wobbles career, reverting at times to proto-dub and techno, they are heavily fortified through his dense mixing style. The throbbing aqua-dub of "Lam Tang Way" is equally potent in both female and male vocal versions. Revisited again, the song survives its most threatening mix on "Lam Tang Way Dub." In instances like these (and "Lam Saravane"/"Lam Saravane Dub"), the focal point isnt clear, with every element of the music vying for your attention and the combined results winning. The techno patter of "Lam Bane Xoc" and "Lam Siphandone"s muscular bass groove, on the other hand, are kept at a respectful distance from the Laotian vocalists for results that arent nearly as captivating. These are the exceptions however: temporary lapses amidst a series of fairly formidable rhythms. Molam Dub succeeds in part because the pairing seems surprisingly appropriate, but also because neither group is apprehensive about this sort of musical cross-pollination. | ||

Passage to Hades : Allmusic album Review : Taking as their inspiration the Greek myth of Orpheus, European improv king Evan Parker (tenor and soprano saxophone) and Invaders of the Heart alumni Clive Bell and Jean-Pierre Rasle invest in a series of stark, repetitive bass and drum structures on Passage to Hades. At the musics core is the rhythm axis of Jah Wobble and Mark Sanders. The duo maps out the territory, delivering all thats required and more through minimal means. Its a refreshing change of scenery for Parker, whos normally heard in avant-garde ensembles or blazing solo performances. Here, hes confined to a stark, muscular groove and he responds beautifully. Like the later recordings by John Coltrane (an early influence), the saxophonist unleashes an abundance of dialog on his instruments, though he never quite reaches the torrents of sound one might expect. Driven by his conception of rhythm, rather than conventional lyricism, Parkers blurry lines circle, flutter, and throb as they pour from his instrument. The slow procession of the title track kicks things off. Wobble never strays from his simple assignment, managing to make the elementary bassline sound totally engaging across 13-plus minutes. This is his dub sensibility at work: start with the essentials. Bells harmonica and Thai pi flute and Ralses bagpipes thread the mix like Augustus Pablo melodica lines and reverb-drenched keyboard fragments, tangling with Parkers sax. None of these songs are concerned with conventional structure beyond the patterns laid out at the start.

Fly : Allmusic album Review : Jah Wobble had a lot of work under his belt by the time he recorded Fly, in styles ranging from post-punk to dub to new age instrumental. As such, trying to classify his body of work wouldnt just be difficult, it would be outright foolish, and Fly itself doesnt lend itself to easy classification any more than his output as a whole. Granted, a majority of the tracks here -- all titled "Fly" followed by the track number -- fit into the danceable world-tinged style that Wobble managed to bring to the charts more than a decade previously, on the Rising Above Bedlam album, but theres definitely more experimentation going on here than on that (admittedly commercial) release. Theres a steady, if restrained, dub influence throughout, and a touch of jazz in places; even if these fit in nicely with the pan-cultural dance that fills out most of the rest of the album, Track Five -- consisting of atmospheric noises with a distorted speaking voice laid over top, bringing to mind early Cabaret Voltaire -- makes for a pretty jarring midpoint, and one that keeps the album from slotting in nicely beside either the more commercial Invaders of the Heart albums or the more overtly experimental releases. It does make for a very Jah Wobble album, however. | ||

Mu : Allmusic album Review : A sublimely enjoyable dub-influenced ambient and electronic outing by Jah Wobble, the British bassist who first came to fame as a member of John Lydons Public Image Ltd. MU is a series of instrumental workouts that take their inspiration from ancient religion and modern trash culture in equal measure. "Viking Funeral" is propelled by its mighty bass figure and an appealing vocal chorus, the jazzy funk of "Kojak Dub" conjures the sweaty streets of 1970s New York, and "New Mexico Dub" performs the same trick for sun-baked Southwestern border towns. Wobble excels in playing the thunderous, loping bass lines of his reggae heroes, while the subtle mix of acoustic and electronic instrumentation gives these pieces an almost cinematic sweep. | ||

Heart & Soul : Allmusic album Review : Jah Wobbles diverse solo repertoire encompasses everything from experimental music to reggae-influenced pop. Blurring the distinctions between technology and roots music, Wobbles explorations into world music prefigured much of the genres mainstream popularity in the west. Continuing with his interest in dub and world-music styles is his 2007 effort, HEART & SOUL. Hedging to downtempo BPMs, along with a steadfast dub influence, the music is hypnotically downcast and sometimes ominous. Bizarre, harmonized vocals suggest a kind of post-human future blues. Other tracks take inspiration from Gregorian plainsong, Appalachian folk, and gospel, making HEART & SOUL a strange, otherworldly listening experience. | ||

Yin & Yang : Allmusic album Review : Given that this was released during the same year as John Lydons fine This Is PiL, its inevitable that comparisons will be made to it and this entry by original PiL members, bassist Jah Wobble and guitarist Keith Levene. While Yin & Yang isnt the former albums equal, it is a ten-song, 40-minute adventure in loopy, raw, deep dread dub, psychedelia, and post-Miles Davis-esque space jazz thats well worth your time. For starters, Levene is in excellent form. His trademark style has re-emerged as open, nasty, oblique, and sharp. Wobbles chops have been steadily polished over the years. His sense of musical adventure has occasionally proven a detriment, but that only happens once here. The highlights are numerous, beginning with plodding thud of the title track that opens the album. Simply utilizing one repetitive riff with a bridge providing an outro makes it sound like the entry point into a long jam, as Levene wails away under Wobbles dubwise thrum. Jonas Perssons basic drum kit only adds to the aural hypnosis. "Strut" showcases Perssons keyboards sounding like a trumpet. Its a driving, raw, edgy, jazz-funk jam; Levene relies on phase and wah-wah pedal to stretch his vamps, while Wobble matches the fractious funk of Perssons breaks and loops. "Jags & Staffs," the sets longest track, finds the bassist ranting a poem before a long, winding, trance-inducing instrumental jam emerges. The only real misstep is "Mississippi." The vocal is anemic, but its the country-rock riff thats truly puzzling and off-putting. Other highlights include the tripped-out cover of George Harrisons "Within You Without You." If ever there were ever an argument for a Beatles cover, this lots take is it. If it werent for the vocal, it would indeed be PiL covering one of the most spaced-out Fab Four jams ever -- the engagement within this trio is post-punk psych at its best. The smoky psych vibe hangs about on "Back on the Block," before the mutant jazz funk returns on "Fluid." The last two cuts, "Understand and "Understand Dub," can be seen as a single, seven-minute jam of spliff-laden, nocturnal, rippling, edgy dreadwise dub, even if the vocal on the first part takes some getting used to. There is little to no post-production on Yin & Yang, making it feel delightfully unwieldy and disorienting. This is a better record from this pair than we had any right to expect. | ||

In Dub : Allmusic album Review : Diversity and experimentation have been the trademark of Jah Wobbles musical approach since leaving PiL. Hes dabbled in global folk traditions, poetry, new age music, jazz fusion, electronica, and Asian and African beat sounds, all read through the lens of dub reggae. No matter how deep he goes, it remains the building block for everything else. This double-disc compilation of 37 tracks offers the evidence. In his entertaining liner essay, Wobble writes: "I think dub is at its best when it is used with roots music, which normally tends toward pentatonic scales and no developed harmony. That pretty much applies to English Folk, swathes of sub-Saharan African and North African music, Chinese traditional music, Japanese music, American Appalachian music et al…." There are stellar examples in this package. Wobble employs aesthetics rather than chronological order in his sequencing. "Cleopatra King Size," from 1983s Shout at the Devil by Jah Wobble & Temple of Sound, opens disc one. It places dub inside North African/Middle Eastern modalism adorned by popping live electronic effects. The vocal version of "Id Love to Take You Away," from 2007s Heart & Soul, sets up a futuristic dub version as downtempo and club soul are enhanced by melodica, a B-3, and cracking breaks. "Club Scene Dub," from 2005s Fureur, blends Chinese folk music, bubbling dreadwise dub, and massive mix-o-phonics in a rhythmic collision of blurry, percussive beauty. It bleeds into cinematic funk on "Kojak Dub," from Mu, with a Herbie Mann-esque flute, sweeping strings, and chunky wah-wah guitars. There are four new tracks from Invaders of the Heart across these discs: "Metamorphosis" employs ambient reggae and dance music amid spacy jazz funk; "Forest Funk Dub" juxtaposes tropes by James Brown, Fela, Ray Barretto, and Herbie Hancock; "Forest Fate Dub" is elastic, humid, and rootsy, while "Inspector Out of Space" delivers a hard interstellar ska groove. Nocturnal jazz fusion, North African modalism, and roots reggae on "Night" (off The Light Programme) is a high-water mark, as is "Alam Dub," one of two tracks here documenting Radioaxiom: A Dub Transmission, Wobbles collaboration with Bill Laswell. The Thai choral chants on "Lam Saravane," from Molam Dub, are peeled back to one voice on its dub version, and accompanied by strident folk fiddles, harmoniums, clattering percussion, and Wobbles bass. The set closer is "Tyger Tyger," William Blakes poem, soundtracked with an unrefined yet majestic Celtic-cum-reggae melody. While the bassist and composers musical range was already well displayed on his massive Redux box, this more economical slice focusing on his core enterprise is easier to absorb. As such, it delivers an excellent portrait of Wobble as disciple, master, and prophet of dub. | ||
