As ever, great choices. What's the Wobble album like - worth a punt?

Thank you Dave. Yes, I reckon it is. It takes a bit of getting used to, especially the Chinese singing (I have a vague idea it might be Wobble's missus), but the dubby-ness and atmospherics go really well with the bass (as you would expect). If you find somewhere to listen to sample tracks (don't know if it's on iTunes or anything), try "Silence" (nice violin over synth-drone), "Happy Tibetan Girl" (traditional Chinese melodies dubbed up nicely) or "L1" (very groovy, like something out a Chinese Spaghetti Western, with Jimmy Cliff as the lead character :-0 ).

Just checked the CD - it's not a violin, it's a "horse head fiddle" apparently (I'm sure some of our learned colleagues will be able to help me). And it's played by Michael Ormiston.

One of the best gigs I went to was Wobble with his band Deep Space in Manchester. Great line up...Philip Jeck on decks, Clive Bell, Harry Beckett, Mark Sanders, and three vocalists not sure who they were. Mixture of extreme low end bass (hardly audible but made the trousers flap), arabic flutes, atmospheric classical records mixed in and amazing drumming. Top night. We helped him load the gear in the van after the gig. Nice 'geezer'.
Crispy Ambulance played a reformed gig a few years back with him on the bill too at the same venue.

Ah the Time Machines disc by Coil... I have mp3s of it but the disc proper is one of the
most elusive items on my wantlist. I'll get it sooner or later though.

Per the most recent issue of Record Collector it IS Wobble's wife and father-in-law providing at least some of the vocals on the record.
