Yin & Yang my review

here's my quick review of the new Wobble & Levene album, as submitted to Amazon....

for a long time fans have wondered what would PIL have sounded like if the original line up had continued working together- Yin & Yang is your answer
A mixed bag of tracks that are exciting & challenging- FORGET X Factor - this is what real musicians sound like when they are working well together
Yin & Yang is the opening track, hardcore lyrics, great melody & wonderful guitar work
Strut is a great instrumental track to jam along to
Jags & Staffs is the Geezer's track- 9 minutes of musical ecstasy, everytime I listen to these tracks I think of Public Image Ltd at their best but the album is so much more than a PIL album (if not in name, definitely in its feel)
Mississipi is a track to play whilst driving in ya car in the sun, a happy, easy listening tune
Within You Without You is a very floaty (dare I say it, hippy, drug chilled tune)
Back on the Block is an instrumental that could have come from the Metal Box era- one of the greatet albums ever made in my opinion
Fluid is an example of what Wobble has been doing over the last decade- Dub, with a decent bit of brass to add a different level to his work
Vampires is an interesting sound, IT's NOT a reworking of the bootleg track that has done the rounds down the years- it changes the mood of the album, just when you think you know how the rest will sound, this one sits you back up paying attention, not letting you fall into a Dub stupor
Understand could be the single release of the album, a reggae feel with a great vocal performance by Nathan Maverick
then the album finishes off with Understand Dub- says it all really!
Overall this is an interesting album, very well worked & put together- not predictable & certainly different to what other artists are putting out- grab a copy, it's worth every single penny. Wobble & Levene are legends- this proves it

Note from the taper=

 This was my first try recording with the Tascam mic and iPhone.  I basically used the default settings for the simple reason that I didn't know what I was doing and the levels were obviously too low.  The results are listenable, but you'll need to crank up the volume.

Note: I cut out some crowd noise between a few songs due to a retard next to me who kept screaming for "Rise" throughout the entire show.  Despite my edits, you'll still hear him from time to time.  Very annoying.  And if said retard happens to be reading this, I saw your tramp girlfriend blowing 2 guys in the men's room after the show.
