Jah Wobble has occupied important spots in Rock history. One is with the PiL (Public Image, Ltd) as bass player for the band of great worth. The other is with his own few bands that include Invaders Of The Heart, and the earlier but short-lived The Human Condition. Invaders of the Heart released a best-selling single with Delores O’Riordan (The Cranberries) called “The Sun Does Rise” (listen below). To this day, apart from the solo works, Invaders of the Heart still exists. Cherry Red UK has maintained an interest in the music of Jah Wobble, releasing remasters and collections.
On April 21, Cherry Red UK via their Jah Wobble-owned 30 Hertz label, will release a 4CD digipak set that investigates much of his career after 2000, which Jah Wobble has been quite busy musically during. Within the 4CDs will feature the output from several albums (all detailed completely below) that include musical interests and some Invaders Of The Heart offerings. The set will be called Dark Luminosity: The 21st Century Collection. There will be 66 tracks, all compiled by Jah Wobble himself. Additionally, the included booklet will feature photos, and notes from the artist.
