Box Sets

back in stock. this is a stunning 3-disc cd set documenting the 26-year strong career of one of music's most unique bass guitarists and singer/songwriters. this definitive set documents wobble's two year stint with the pioneering experimental rock band, public image and includes three digitally remastered pil classics public image, poptones and death disco. during his 2-year stint with pil, wobble created an aura of menace and unpredictability that perfectly contrasted the claustrophobic drones of keith levine's circling tortured guitar lines and john lydon's screaming vocals at a more primal form of expression. a few years later he emerged with a group called the invaders of the heart and the huge hit performed with sinead o'connor "visions of you". in a career that now spans twenty-six years in the music business, wobble continues to mesmerise, surprise, and challenge his audience. his musical direction has always been completely independent, genuine and from the heart.
