Product Description

Review
This valiant attempted fusion of east and west could fall flat on its face, but it proves a remarkable success --The Guardian

Review
Nobody could deny that Jah Wobble's Chinese Dub performance was knockout entertainment. Veteran punk and bass virtuoso Wobble has fruitfully married classical Chinese instrumentation to heavy dub rhythms - the music was scintillatingly catchy. You couldn't help wondering: is Jah Wobble the man that Damon Albarn would secretly like to be? --Arwa Haider, Metro (WOMAD)

4.0 out of 5 stars Original and brilliant, 29 Nov 2008
Luckily i was able to see Jah on tour. I had listened to some of his other work and I really liked it but I wasnt sure what to expect from "Chinese Dub", i thought the reggae beats and bass would be left out but I was certainly wrong. the vocalists in the band were spine chilling, so perfect and eerie at the same time. The massive range of instruments included te guzheng to simple pots and pans, guitars and of course Jah on bass. Everything came together, everything worked to create a sound like I had never heard before, chinese dub! It was a spectacle for the eyes and ears and I strongly recommend you buy this album it will not dissapoint

5.0 out of 5 stars Drew 42's Review, 5 Feb 2009
By Drew 42 "Drew 42" (Liverpool UK) - See all my reviews
Wobble doing what he does best - great synthesis of trademark bass and western musicians with traditional Chinese music - partly courtesy of Mrs Wobble playing the magical Chinese harp. "This can't possibly work" I thought when I first heard about it - such different musical genres...but by gum it does! By all accounts the live performance was a highlight of WOMAD 2008...

5.0 out of 5 stars Sheer brilliance/Wobble's best work to date!, 12 Mar 2009
Few musicians on this planet are able to fuse totally unrelated styles of music and let them click. However, if there is one musician alive today that is able to do it, it must be England's Jah Wobble (AKA John T. Wardle). Using his wobbly base lines as kind of glue Wobble can mix diverse musical styles together, make it sound authentic and even sneak in his baselines in styles like English Folk or traditional Chinese music without letting it sound out of place.
This CD is an extension of Wobble's earlier albums Molam Dub (in which he fused Jamaican Dub with traditional Asian singing) and Five Tone Dragon (that featured his wife Zi Lan Liao on the Guzheng or Chinese Harp). It must be said that Wobble's former mate from PIL was almost as quick as the high regarded bass player himself with the compilation "China Dub". Will Asian music combined with western elements be the new trend in world music as African music was in the 1980's? Time will tell. But Wobble will be way ahead of the pack, as always.
Wobble travelled to China to enlist several outstanding vocalists for this album. Gu Yinyi is half Mongolian and half Tibetan and a master of Mongolian and Tibetan singing traditions. Ms Wobble, whose input in this project I estimate is almost as important as that of her better half, seems to be the Jimi Hendrix of the Chinese Harp. Good old Wobble devotee Clive Bell plays flute on several tracks and Ku Hsiung Li does an outstanding job with the bamboo flute on several others.
The CD starts with four continuous songs. The amazing vocal technique of the Mongolians, unknown to the West, is heard and Wobble's wife makes her instrumental entrance on a song called "Solitude". My favourite song on the album is "Happy Tibetan Girl". It has the perfect combination of amazing vocals, studio programming and a catchy bass line.
In my honest opinion this is Wobble's best work to date in a catalogue of 30 albums! (though I must confess I don't own all of them). This album has an originality and freshness to it that seems to be almost extinct in the music world.
