I continue the #zot2016 review with an album that, despite being a compilation, will ultimately be considered by everyone as a magnificent work worthy of consideration.

Jah Wobble - In Dub (Cherry Red Records).

Cherry Red had already released a 6-CD box set in 2015, which provided an overview of the 40-year career of one of the most talented and influential (and prolific) musicians from 1980 to the present. With this second compilation ('In Dub'), featuring 34 songs, including 4 unreleased tracks and a previously unreleased remix, they are launching a series of Wobble’s recordings from the mid-nineties to today, both as a solo artist and with the various formations and projects he has created. The result is an album that may seem varied in content (sensitive to certain experimentations in world music and with references to Eastern sounds, evidently also due to the fact that in 2000 Wobble married the Chinese 'guzheng' and harp musician Zi Lan Liao), but in which the dub and the incredible groove of this fantastic bassist serve as a unifying thread, giving this album a cohesive sense, making it a work that remains universally valid to listen to when one wants to immerse themselves in a particular sonic dimension. Bomb.
