		Wobble's reputation as a Stepney tearaway always seemed to contrast dramatically with his rapid and breathtaking musical command.

	Eye - Jah Wobble's strange fruit - 10.11.01
		Wobble continues to travel a number of musical paths, one of which he's been walking with Bill Laswell, the only creative bassist who can make Wobble's work rate look paltry.
		Wobble also continues to work with his "world-musicky, folkloric" song-based project, Invaders of the Heart, although he seems uninterested in revisiting the more poppy material they made in the early '90s with such guests as Sinead O'Connor and Gavin Friday.
		Wobble demands commitment not just from the audience, but from his musicians: "Although it might be fun -- and I enjoy it, to be quite honest -- the act of throwing a strawberry at someone while they're playing is done with a kind of respect as well.

	BBC - Experimental Review - Jah Wobble, I Could Have Been A Contender
		Wobble's loping, earthy bass pulse is at the centre of everything he does, whoever he does it with.
		With PiL, Wobble proved himself to be one of the few white musicians capable of assimilating the influence of reggae (witness the Clash's feeble efforts in comparison) and then doing something different with it.
		Wobble's been one of the few veterans of those wars to carry on pushing himself (and occasionally the patience of his audiences).

	Jah Wobble - I Could Have Been A Contender : album review
		Christened Jah Wobble by a drunken Sid Vicious, his first musical steps were the giant strides of joining the fractious, furious and defiantly revolutionary Public Image Limited, fronted by John Lydon, a phase that is represented here by the defiant Public Image and the frankly terrifying Poptones.
		Jah Wobble was integral in the line-up, pushing the bass away from the bitter nihilism of punk into sonic and melodic extremes that embraced everything including dub reggae, film soundtracks and Stockhausen.
		Jah Wobble has always been a renegade figure, from his violent past in the troubled PIL, through to his singular pursuits, exploring different cultures of music.

	TrouserPress.com :: Jah Wobble
		Jah Wobble (John Wardle) was a close friend and confidant of John Lydon when he was still Johnny Rotten and the Sex Pistols were on the fast road to hell in a handbasket.
		Wobble underwent some kind of transformation around the end of the '80s, when he ended a period of supporting himself in such unglamorous jobs as driving a London taxi and sweeping a train station by founding his first full- time band, the Invaders of the Heart, with guitarist Justin Adams.
		God, who appears to have bolstered Wobble's resolve to be our conduit between the timeless power of music and the here and now, makes frequent lyrical appearances throughout the first portion of the lengthy disc.

	Jah Wobble : Without Judgement - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Following his split from P.I.L. in the early '80s, bassist Jah Wobble was more likely to be found sweeping tubeway stations than performing on stages, and by the middle of the decade, his musical output had all but ground to a halt.
		All of the influences that would later define Jah Wobble's style could be found on Without Judgement, in their raw forms.
		Wobble's characteristically simple, catchy, and repetitive bass-hooks were just coming into maturity, and served as the main driving force throughout the album.

	Jah Wobble & Bill Laswell - Radioaxiom: A Dub Transmission
		Sometime Johnny Rotten collaborator and bonkers bassist Jah Wobble gets together with jazz and dub producer Bill Laswell for seven tracks of alienesque relaxation, somehow utilising three drummers and a Senegalese percussionist, two trumpeteers and two synth wizards in the process.
		In fact, Wobble left PIL in 1980 after differences with guitarist Keith Levine and Johnny Rotten, now named John Lydon, and founded a solo career, collaborating with a bewildering assortment of artists such as Jaki Liebezeit and U2's The Edge.
		Both Wobble (real name John Wardle) and Laswell take turns at playing bass and veer curiously close to Ozric Tentacles territory with the looped bass built on with effects blocks.

		Jah Wobble, as some of you may know, is the former Public Image Limited bass player, a band fronted by John Lydon of Sex Pistols fame.
		After P.I.L, Jah Wobble faded from the limelight and it is said in time became a London Tube Driver, until the day that he supposedly announced to the train that he was driving, ‘Hello, I’m Jah Wobble and I’m going to be a pop star.’ Or something shite like that.
		Thus he left his employment, and as Jah Wobble and the Invaders of the Heart were born in the early 90’s he went on to record and tour the festival scene with them.

	Jah Wobble's "Mu" Set For Release September 12th
		Jah Wobble, one of contemporary music's more unique bassists and producers, has found a new sensibility on "Mu," drawing on a plethora of inspirations, sounds and techniques that make up the genre-busting set.
		Wobble's distinctive "low end" bass sound helped to put PiL on the map and became the backbone of the band.
		Meanwhile, Jah Wobble will be performing a series of upcoming live dates, including the Fairport Cropredy Festival in Banbury, Oxfordshire on August 11th, and at the Tartan Heart Festival in Scotland on August 12th.

	Jah Wobble and Bill Laswell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Jah Wobble and Bill Laswell have got to be two of the more interesting fellows ever to pick up a bass guitar.
		This was to be only one of Wobble's collaborative ventures of the '90s, a decade which also saw him work with Brian Eno and fellow ex-PiL members, but it has perhaps been the most fruitful.
		While Wobble was palling around with Lydon and working with PiL in the late '70s and early '80s, Laswell was making a name for himself in New York's avant-garde underground.

	Jah Wobble & Evan Parker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The repetition of Wobble's music, born out of his absorption of dub, Can and Dark Magus (see Epiphanies, The Wire 203), accentuates a delirious intoxication with lyrical movement through air and time, an invisible calligraphy, in Parker's playing otherwise only implicit in solos and improvised groupings.
		The other element that Wobble highlights is Parker's profound sense of connection to a global continuum in reed playing, vocalisation and other remarkable instrumental technologies and techniques documented by anthropologists, sound recordists and travellers.
		From the launching pad of Wobble on bass and Mark Sanders on drums, the rest of the group takes off for regions mapped into a speculative world where land masses shift to join Lamaist Tibet and medieval Europe to the Mississippi Delta, the Cardomomes Mountains of Cambodia and the Rif Mountains of northern Morocco.

		Wobble met Lydon in 1973 at Kingsway College, along with John Grey and Sid Vicious (who gave him his 'Jah Wobble' nickname after a drunken slur, and would also lend him his first bass).
		After a battle with alcohol Wobble left the music scene to work for London Transport in 1987, but was soon back on board (pardon the pun), with a revitalised line-up of his 'Invaders of the Heart' band.
		Having gave up alcohol in the mid-eighties Wobble is now a reformed character, gone are the wild 'thug' days, he's now a dedicated family man with a documented interest in spirituality, and has recently received a PhD in Humanities.

	Jah Wobble: Solaris: Live in Concert: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Wobble has again collared four of his reliable old collaborators, keyboardist Harold Budd (from Wobble's Deep Space outfit), cornet-player Graham Haynes and basshead and producer Bill Laswell (both most recently visible on the Laswell/Wobble Radioaxiom album) and former Can skin-botherer Jaki Liebezeit, who appears sporadically throughout the Wobble discography.
		Regarded as the connoisseur's George Winston, Budd memorably collaborated with Brian Eno on Ambient 2: The Plateaux of Mirrors and with the Cocteau Twins for The Moon and the Melodies.
		Not even appropriating the guise of master of puppets, Wobble becomes the catalyst by which the other reactants burn fearsomely bright and scorch the listener with their unbridled audacity.

		He made little distinction between the conscious and the unconscious, a similar line that Jah Wobble follows as a musician.
		With the help of Chris Cookson's wild ethnic loops and his own obsessive, post-industrial bass lines, Jah Wobble proceeded to deconstruct the same songs over the next two days, commandeering the odd flurry of whistle notes or long sustains of bagpipe drones at exhilaratingly odd intervals.
		The result is sure to rattle some folksy cages, and more than a few Victorian song collectors might turn in their grave, but the atmospheres he has created provide a direct link with the songs' original bearers: a hint of the first trains here, a whiff of the sweatshop there.
