Radioaxiom: A Dub Transmission is a collaborative album by Bill Laswell and Jah Wobble, released on September 18, 2001 by Axiom and Palm Pictures.[5][6]
Reception
Critical reaction to Radioaxiom was generally positive. Thom Jurek of Allmusic wrote that the album's subtitle, A Dub Transmition was somewhat misleading as the album was not particularly influenced by dub reggae but taken on its own terms as a "mishmash of world musics and groove jazz [...] it works very well." He awarded Radioaxiom 4 stars out of a possible 5.[1]
