Songs From The Heart

John Lydon's post-punk band Public Image Ltd. turns 40 years old these days. The Public Image Is Rotten (Songs From The Heart) is a 5 disc/2 DVD set is a compendium of a self-explanatory of their singles, B-sides, sessions, mixes , dance track and unreleased tracks. It comes also with a live concert from 1989. I didn't have this box yet but I take it for a reason to post some songs by a band that made the most weird sound in the late 70's. The songs from their first albums are still remarkable and worth listening again after all this year. Johnny's crazy voice, Jah Wobble's unbelievable bass lines and a cutting guitar makes this sound so unique.

Swan Lake

35! years ago Public Image Ltd. released their second recording, well known as the Metal Box. Sadly I didn't own the original packing with the 12-inches but it is still a classic recording in the post punk era. When the record was released it sounded like nothing compared to past, present and the future. Weired guitars by Keith Levine, a gigantic dub-inspired bass by Jah Wobble and the cryptic lyrics by John Lydon makes this record remarkable for everything before and after.
