Already hailed by some quarters as very important, 'Passage To Hades', follows on from the success of Jah Wobble's recent albums 'Inspiration Of William Blake' and 'Molam Dub'. 30 Hertz are gaining a reputation as the home of some dazzling innovative and ambitious musical works. Wobble seems hell bent on chasing the sonic grail and 'Passage To Hades' sets this out whilst Evan Parker's position as among the U. K's foremost improvisational musicians is cemented further.

Featuring superb contributions from members of Wobble's Deep Space Project, the mesmeric, haunting pipework of Clive Bell and Jean Pierre Rasle along with the hypnotic rhythms of drummer Mark Sanders, this is work defies easy categorisation and implores repeated listening from fan and new listener alike.

Both Wobble and Parker are prolific in their respective fields. Jah Wobble was a founding member of PIL (Public Image Ltd), in the late 70's and has since gone through a variety of incarnations as solo artist and working with his Invaders Of The Heart and Deep Space projects. Evan Parker is perhaps best known for his work with Chris McGregor's Brotherhood Of Breath and remains one of the world's top and most innovative saxophonists.
