4.0 out of 5 stars Ambient is in the eye of the beholder..., June 1, 2006

To all established Jah Wobble fans; ignore the first review. I doubt that reviewer actually knows what music in chill rooms at raves sounds like, for that does not describe any Jah Wobble music that I know! Overall, this is a great disc. Along a similar vein to other Jah Wobble CDs; some songs are better than others, but overall great as relaxing yet interesting and uplifting background music. The lyrics are of a spiritual nature as is also typical for Jah Wobble. Perhaps the pace is faster than what most people call "ambient" but I still wouldn't call it fast! If, like me, you normally listen to faster paced music of any type this will seem ambient to you! And his very pleasant British accent lyrics are always a PLUS, not a negative!

So, for established Jah Wobble fans, I would recommend this CD - nothing unexpected here, just good ol' dubby Jah Wobble.

For those new to his music, the first reviewer is right in that this is not like that really really really ambient Brian Eno type stuff. I might recommend this to, perhaps, fans of music such as Dagda, Delerium, Oceania... stuff like that. It's like a relaxing sort of worldbeat-dub kinda stuff. (And you should definitely enjoy hearing British accents, because it is certainly prominent here!)

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth the entrance price for Buddha of Compassion..., June 2, 2007

I find this disc just a wee bit patchy compared to previous outings. However the 10 minute opus - Buddha of Compassion - ranks in my top 10 best ever tracks. It really is a sublime piece of music and almost has a transformative effect on me. Its one of those tracks that you never want to end.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dub Splendor, April 19, 2006

As a long time fan of Jah Wobble I had to counter other reveiws here. This is great return to form and while not as up tempo as previous Invaders of the Heart releases, it has much of the same strengths and variety of influences. Viking Funeral is the song I need to hear daily! This disc is great example of the ever expanding sound of modern dub!
