Jah Wobble & Jon Klein - Automated Paradise (Transparent Vinyl)

This is Jah Wobble’s first post punk LP in recent years following travel and dub records. The brash guitar driven tracks reflect his continuing preoccupation with the declining state of the nation. Driven by his experience working each week at a music based community project in Merton, with Jon Klein, it is reminiscent of Mark Stewart. Angry in an empathetic, constructive way it resolved with the beautiful instrumental ‘Brockwell Lido’. Like much of his work these days, much of the lyrical content comes while traversing London’s transport system.

Jah Wobble, is an English bass guitarist and singer. He became known to a wider audience as the original bass player in Public Image Ltd (PiL) in the late 1970s and early 1980s; he left the band after two albums.
