348: Holger Czukay, Jah Wobble, Jaki Liebezeit // Full Circle

Full Circle Holger Czukay, Jah Wobble, Jaki Liebezeit 1982, Virgin

One-off forces-joining of founding Can guys Jaki Liebezeit (drums) and Holger Czukay (too many instruments to get into here) with ur-dub bassist Jah Wobble of Public Image Ltd, Full Circle is the rare “supergroup” album that genuinely does sound pretty much exactly like you would imagine it would based on the C.V.s of the guys involved. This is a good thing: five bass-driven jams that move like a slinky walking down a flight of stairs in slow motion, and one freaky club track that seems like it could genuinely get a room going even on the normal side of town. Full Circle is a much easier listen than basically any PiL or Can record, which I suppose means it’s less “challenging,” but sometimes that’s okay—this is just another chapter in the story of three guys who understand rhythm about as well as anyone on the planet, and it’s a pleasure to have the opportunity to listen in.

The format is mostly Liebezeit and Wobble locking into a low-key groove and seamlessly developing it over five to ten minutes, while Czukay adds a variety of peculiar noises over top using organ, guitar, French horn, and a proto-sampling technique he called “rhythm painting.” Admittedly, a lot of the songs don’t give the sense that they’re going anywhere, exactly, but I like music that has a ton going on that also seems optimized to become the ambient texture of an experience. It’s the difference between walking through a squeegeed hallway and an alley covered in graffiti—I might not be reading every tag, but moving through all these rugged human details keeps my brain ready for the possibilities of the night.

Obscure Stand of The Day 31.

Stand name: Public Image Limited.

Namesake: The band fronted by former Sex Pistols vocalist John Lydon.

Created by: Miya Shotaro and Gichi Otsuka.

Year of creation: 2001.

User: Rigatoni.

History: PIL is the Stand of Rigatoni. A former assassin for Passione and Mista's former partner. He came out of retirement to fight and kill Mista after he betrayed Passione.

History of creation: Public Image Limited was created for the light novel GioGio's Bizarre Adventure 2: Golden Heart, Golden Ring. The Stand was drawn by Hirohiko Araki.

Ability: PIL allows Rigatoni to incrementally place all of his Stand power into his bullets, allowing the bullets to travel four times faster than average. While this makes his bullets more powerful, it also puts Rigatoni in danger, as each shot puts him at risk of death. PIL can absorb the Stand energy of the target Rigatoni hits to offset this drawback.

Trivia: The name Rigatoni may have been chosen because Rigatoni pasta resembles the barrel of a sniper rifle.

Public Image Limited's user, Rigatoni.
