Reviews
Edited 3 years agoThe Natacha Atlas tracks, especially 'Bomba', are so good they hurt and still sound fresh. Whoever is playing guitar on the title track is definitely channeling Keith Levene- I wish I lived in a world where playing this album at a party got everyone up and grooving. I just don't party with the right crowd these days, I guess. This is Wobble's most well executed album, in my opinion, if not his most inspired effort. The song Visions Of You, featuring Sinead on primary backup vocals, even got airplay on commercial modern rock radio in the mid 90's. I think that says a lot about what Team Wobble was trying to accomplish with this record. Natasha Atlas is the standout, however, and her songs, Bomba and Soledad are the album's highlights. Justin Adams also makes a big splash here. Both of them together sort of draw attention to the unique way in which Wobble's bass style can be transplanted into so many different musical genres. There's space dub, world beat, calypso, dystopian manifestos and diamond cutter shred all coming together here in a big old funk sammich. I would suggest The Legend Lives On and Without Judgement as companion pieces to this if you're interested in delving further into Jah's solo stuff.
- Edited 13 years agoWorld music made from scratch, arguably Jah Wobble's masterwork - it led to him quitting his day job. Spin it at a party, watch how many people groove involuntarily, watch how many white folks bite their lower lip as only white people can in the presence of great funky dub. Add sweet vocal's from Natacha Atlas and the new sensation of the moment Sinead O'connor and this thing cooks. Chicks dig it in a big way, too. You can't lose.
