Well he WAS PIL's bassist... listen for his contributions on the 1st two albums.

No comparison there garrettb. Sinead has the voice of an angel. I can't stand McDonald's vocals. He ruined the Doobie's

Wait. Do I hear Sinead O'Connor on this? I guess it is her. Sounds great. 7—>8

Most talented London Underground driver working today. Crazy to think he could be driving you any time you get on-board
I enjoy how the vocals play off each other all the while this stellar groove sweeps me away. Great song.
Dieser Song war 1991 absolut auf der Höhe seiner Zeit. Grossartig.
love love the bass
How very sad that we'll never get to discover new collaborations featuring Sinead...I'm going to miss those discoveries...
There is Only ONE TUNE by him on the RP playlist. PLEASE ADD MORE! Thank You.
Is that Sinead in the background?
What a voice. RIP Sinead
EXCELLENT!! First time I ever heard of him! That is why we come here. Thanx RP!
Lyrics:
I'm not numbed that anymore
Not longer feel the hate and pain
No longer drenched in shame
I'm not numbed that anymore
Now I am the key to the door
The kingdom of heaven lies inside
Makes a circle with the turning tide
Now the circle is complete
And the heart and mind they need
The kingdom of heaven lies inside
I love visions of you (endlessly)
I love visions of you (endlessly)
It's a vision for me and for you
Hell can be a circle too
And the truth remains unspoken
A vision for me and for you
I love visions of you (endlessly)
I love visions of you (endlessly)
I love visions of you (endlessly)
I love visions of you (endlessly)
I love visions of you (endlessly)
I love visions of you (endlessly)
I'm not numbed that anymore
No longer feel the hate and pain
No longer drenched in shame
I'm not numbed that anymore
Now I am the key to the door
I love visions of you (endlessly)
I love visions of you (endlessly)
I love visions of you (endlessly)
I love visions of you
I love
Visions of you
I love visions of you (endlessly)
I love
Visions of you
I'm not numbed that anymore
Not longer feel the hate and pain
No longer drenched in shame
I'm not numbed that anymore
Now I am the key to the door
The kingdom of heaven lies inside
Makes a circle with the turning tide
Now the circle is complete
And the heart and mind they need
The kingdom of heaven lies inside
I love visions of you (endlessly)
I love visions of you (endlessly)
It's a vision for me and for you
Hell can be a circle too
And the truth remains unspoken
A vision for me and for you
I love visions of you (endlessly)
I love visions of you (endlessly)
I love visions of you (endlessly)
I love visions of you (endlessly)
I love visions of you (endlessly)
I love visions of you (endlessly)
I'm not numbed that anymore
No longer feel the hate and pain
No longer drenched in shame
I'm not numbed that anymore
Now I am the key to the door
I love visions of you (endlessly)
I love visions of you (endlessly)
I love visions of you (endlessly)
I love visions of you
I love
Visions of you
I love visions of you (endlessly)
I love
Visions of you
Super song. Thanks a lot RP.
Jah Wobble's bass tone is always recognizable to me. Within the first few notes I always seem to know it's him.
I always love hearing this! Such visceral, bad-assed bass-work, and with Sinead's incredible soaring vocals, to boot! YES! Styles like Robyn Hitchcock, Kula Shaker.
Thanks RP for one more tune you have turned me on to!

Is there anyone Sinead has not worked with? She can turn any track into something special.

Then there was WGTB ou of Georgetown U.
They played some RIGHTEOUS music!
Bassist for PIL ? Nice pedigree
Poor Sinead.. losing her son. A great performace from her here

I wonder if Kula Shakur had been listening to this before they wrote Govinda?

The Ace of Bass!
Jah Wobble were at a festival I went to a few years back, and naturally they performed this, it being their 'hit'. I'm not saying that the chorus went on for a bit, but when it started I managed to go for a toilet break, and then bought some liquid refreshment and munchables (bearing in mind the queues involved in each case), and located the other half in the crowd, and they STILL hadn't finished.

Without the Sinaid riff, Material / Bill Laswell did all this some time ago. That said, works like crazy with her voice. Love it.

I don't know what this is... I have never heard it before.
It sounds pretty good -- not great.
But I'm glad to make its acquaintance.
That's why RadioParadise is so amazing. I know I'll hear something out of left field if I listen for a little while.
Thanks, Bill.

Whoa, look at that photo of him on the WIki page, –slappin' da bass mon!
Not sure if the "Endlessly" is subliminally meant to sound like LSD.
I thought this was Robyn Hitchcock at first...
Wow

VERY NICE!
Bought this cassette in Istanbul in 1992 and wandered much with my Walkman.
Good soundtrack for a very trippy city.

Always dug Jah Wobble. It's a band led by PiL's former bassist. There's a hybrib feel to his grooves. A musician who has clearly traveled across Africa and the Middle East.
endlessly... very apt! it's so boring!
groovy
It's gotten even better since the last time I've heard it.... 8... the big fat kind!
yes you are correct, it is her — me too, an 8 for sure

Sinead adds the perfect compliment to this song.

Quite nice song, but vocals far too repetitive
So I plop down at my desk and pull up RP to hear the tail end of Talk talk nad the segue into this magical tune. Thanks, Bill. 8:15 and you got me smiling at my desk!
Killer bass line. Very cool. Sinead is even tolerable, too.

really grooving to him lately and his years with early PIL (first two records).
Jah Baby!
Another great British musician doing his own thing, great to hear him on this station.
I used to have this on cassette waaaayyy back when.....great to hear it on RP!

Yeah, when HFS went, the last tolerable terrestrial station in the DC area died. I was in the audio wilderness for a while until I discovered webcasting, and RP in particular.
Yeah miss WHFS, Still think Bill G is Bob in disguise, they sound very much alike.
I like this track, but it seems so clunky after Talk Talk...
Good song though a little long.
love the Wobbleyness

Agreed. Sorta forgot about this song and always thought it was Love & Rockets or Ash with Sinead O'Connor.
Definitely something I'd like to hear often.

Evidently Brewgoat, you and me are the WHFS fans here. "102.3 in Bethesda". I googled Cerphe and Weasel and of course WHFS .. what a difficult time the old girl has had over the years. I remember hearing Damian the day he returned to the air .. almost unintelligible ... there I was bawling like a baby. I returned from overseas sometime after the change to Hispanic music (or maybe it was all-news?) and the freq change to below 102 .... I don't think I listened to the radio for a week.
Now for the heartbreaker ... Once Upon A Time I had a set of ten Ten Inch reels of continuous on-air recording that we did in our lab in the Pentagon.
Covered a whole week at 7-1/2 ips would have been about 1972 or 73.
Lost in a move from Germany back to the US in 1985.
Oh well ....
You're not the only ones - I was a huge HFS fan. It was the only radio station in the tri-state area. After it went Latino I turned permanently to NPR. Thank god for RP.
great bassline.

flashback for sure.
Takes me back to my first 'internet radio' experience.
Blasting Adam Curry's "rave radio" across a convention floor in the early 90's.
Other song I recall is Utah Saints, "Something Good is Going to Happen". :)
Sinead: Great! And the little guitar solo! And the bassline ... Wonderful track!

And I second, or third, that emotion! It was such a great station; the DC area has been a desert for good radio since it went off the air years ago.

I heard Sinead and came here to this website to check out what the Song title was so I could buy it for the first time in like 6 months!
Time to donate... :)
