Μια που ο κύριος παρουσιάζει ιδιαίτερο ενδιαφέρον (και φαντάζομαι ιδιαίτερα όσοι αρέσκονται σε πιο dub ακούσματα θα τον εκτιμήσουν ιδιαιτέρως), ας (αντι)γράψουμε και τίποτα για δαύτον.
Jah Wobble (born John Wardle) is an English bass guitarist, singer, poet and composer. There are several versions of the origin of his stage name: One account places the origin on a drunken, mumbled version of Wardle's name by Sid Vicious; another states it was wordplay based on Wardle's name, and his fascination with the "wobbly" basslines of reggae and related genres, where praise to "Jah"--a near-homonym of "John"--is often offered.
Wobble is a longtime friend of Johnny Rotten and, according to the latter's autobiography, was once on the short list of replacements for original Pistols bassist Glen Matlock. However, the rest of the band considered him "too intimidating".
This was due to Wobble's reputation for violence and he himself has stated the reason for the first Public Image Ltd album having to be recorded in such a short period of time because he had gotten into a fight with the producer and also 3 men in a local pub at the time.
Wobble eventually got his start with John Lydon's post-Sex Pistols group Public Image Ltd (PiL). Wobble's playing drew heavily on dub, which has remained an important feature of his music.
He left PiL in 1980--some accounts report he was fired--and has since collaborated with a wide variety of musicians. His explorations into World music predated much of the genre's popularity. Jah Wobble's 1994 album "Take Me To God" was influenced by Mike Huett and world music genres, and its uplifting sounds made it both a critical and commercial success. His music has spanned a number of genres, including ambient music and dance music, and in 2003, reworkings of traditional English folk songs. Though he has released recordings since the early 1980s. Wobble has been quite prolific from the mid-1990s to the present. He now runs his own label, 30 Hertz Records, and tours regularly throughout England and Europe.
