Title: Heart and Soul and diaphragm-shaking sonic rumblings...
Review: Let me just say that this album is soaked in dub.....and is another Wobble gem! As would be expected, Mr. Wardle includes a number of "world" or "ethnic" elements on this project, but this does take a back seat this time to the heaviness, the dubby-ness, the diaphragm-shaking sonic rumblings. With the over-modulated, distorted Wobble rantings on some tracks, and the many-layered approach - where at least one layer is a bit lo-fi or distorted - the album makes me recall classic On-U Sound projects and players (like Mark Stewart, Dub Syndicate, and Missing Brazilians). This ain't no rootical Rasta dub, but it certainly makes for some heavy meditation. And "The Sweetest Feeling" duet with Clea Rose is worth the price of admission alone. If you don't have it yet, "Heart & Soul" is a "must" in your Jah Wobble collection.....
