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

The Human Condition, November 1981, Holland

After leaving PiL, Wobble formed The Human Condition with guitarist Dave Maltby and PiL's original drummer, Jim Walker. The Human Condition toured in 1981 and made two cassette-only releases of their live shows - this one was made so quickly that it was apparently on sale after the gig.

Jah Wobble & The English Roots Band - 30th October 2005 - Andy Kershaw Radio 1 Session

It's the Legend that is Jah Wobble- do I need to say anything else? For me I'm so pleased PIL reformed - they are great & have been excellent live & in the studio since their return..............but they would have been so much better if Wobble & Lydon could settle their differences.
