Rated 6/10
Very naff production and a bit too "World Music" but enjoyed this more than I expected. One I may return to
Rated 2/10
Disco desconocido para mí y de los 90 nunca pinta bien. Un pastiche house, chillout con mezclas étnicas y pseudohispanas como en Bomba. Aburridísimo y cero interés para mí.
Rated 4/10
This is bizarre.
Rated 2/10
Never heard of this one before. I thought the 1st and 3rd tracks were alright, not mad about the rest though. Terrible singing, but some good bass and guitar playing. Another case where I'm not sure why this was included in the book!
Rated 4/10
HL: "Bomba", "Every Man Is An Island", "Visions of You"
Hard to rate, somewhere between 1 and 4 stars :p
Pro: très éclectique
Con: It's like Graceland without the memorable songs
Pro: Inspired instrumentals
Con: Wobble's singing voice
Con: I'm not feeling too hot tonight, so that might affect my enjoyment too

Leuk Esther vond het beter dan ik
Rated 3/10
This was a very experimental experience. More than I was expecting when the first song started to play.
Personally, I didn't like it too much, but it's very easy to note the virtuosos in the instrumental part and I got why this kind of thing deserves to be on this list. These guys are real musicians and no one can say the contrary.
I'll keep my rate in 2 stars just because it's not exactly my kind of thing.
Rated 4/10
Visions Of You does a good job of setting up the rhythmic style of Relight The Flame, but the vocals on Relight are a huge bummer. Bomba is cool. Ungodly Kingdom was a fun listen. Sweet Divinity has all the problems of Relight the Flame but none of the charm.
Rated 6/10
Not sure I will be able to make it through the album.. too repetitive to be enjoyable -
Rated 4/10
I know Jah Wobble more from PIL and his collaborations with Holger Czukay of Can. I like him as a support player/collaborator but maybe not so much as a solo artist. He's got a ton of releases and I wonder why this particular one was chosen. I feel like this list is pretty solid in its picks the further back it goes but right about here in the timeline going forward it gets a little more spotty. Can't say I really enjoyed it, like I don't want to listen to it again, but it wouldn't really bother me if someone had it on in the background. Okay, skipped through the tracks again and I like the first song alright as a single but the rest of the album doesn't have the same vibe. 2.5 rounded down I guess?
