A couple of years ago Jah Wobble released with Metal Box-Rebuilt In Dub! an unexpected album. 42 years after the first release with PIL he took the songs and reworked them. The result was a reinterpretation of post punk classics. Most of the songs were composed around his phenomenal bass lines and supplemented with sawing guitars and a little piano.
He deliberately refrained from replacing John Lydon's voice, which, in combination with Wobble's monotone, made the original work so incomparable at the time. A highlight of the album is Swan Song, in which he has integrated the music of Tchaikovsky's famous ballet into his sound. Still disturbing but wonderful.
