Turn up loud and prepare to be entranced....

'Poptones' from the new Metal Box - Rebuilt In Dub album... Rebuilt In Dub?! What's all this then? First I've heard about it Sounds worth a listen...
Former Public Image Ltd. bassist and innovative musical visionary, Jah Wobble, revisits an old stomping ground for this brilliant album of brand new studio recordings!
Wobble returns to the hugely influential 1979 album from PiL, Metal Box, completely reinventing 8 of the album’s songs with sophisticated dub interpretations and mind-expanding production!I like that version of Poptones
Thanks Andy

..i may have mentioned it on here before, maybe the PiL thread. I think him and Keith have as much right to revisiting those songs as Mr Utterly Butterly Masked Singer, so i may investigate further.  |

Well... if any keyboard warriors attempts to give Wobble a slap, i'd sure love to see the footage of the consequences.  if you do even the most basic of google searching, you will see that name dates back to the middle ages... for example... "The name Tyson is rooted in the ancient Norman culture that arrived in England after the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. It was a name for someone who was a fiesty or hot-tempered person. The name is a metaphor derived from the Old French word tison meaning fire-brand." ...and Wobble is clever enough to know this. |

Not so sure, Tyson is a go to name for a certain kind of dog owner. Anyway, I like the man's music , never really been that interested in if a musician is a dickhead or not. Otherwise you just get to the point of making excuses for ones you like or using it as a reason to knock those you don't.

Review of the Metal Box dub album
Jah Wobble formed Public Image Limited (P.I.L.) with John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, when Rotten had left The Sex Pistols in 1978.He then left the band he helped create after their second album, 1979’s Metal Box. Although it never made the top 200 in the U.S. and was a minor hit in the U.K., where it peaked at number 18, it has gone on to be recognized as a bona fide classic. Original bassist Wobble has returned to present a rather interesting version of it.
Fans of Wobble will know that ‘dub’ is nothing new to the bassist. He has released, remixed and contributed to a number of ‘dub’ albums and songs in the past, but what may be surprising is his desire to go back to an old P.I.L. one. But why shouldn’t he? Lydon has kept the P.I.L name and has had quite a career with that band, and to be fair he has released a number of great albums with that moniker. But here, Wobble has re-recorded almost all of the songs from the original plus a couple of songs from the first P.I.L releases.
In many ways some of the songs benefit from the dub treatment. There is no point comparing the two, as the original is a classic, and in some ways untouchable, but Wobble has made it magnificent with his interpretation of the classic record. For the most part, it is instrumental but vocals do pop up, particularly with “Poptunes” and “Public Image”, which is from the first P.I.L release. For the most part, Wobble has arranged the songs to fit his style and his use of ‘dub’.
