Antheng Riddim – Thunder Bolt

Antheng produced by Steven Lee, Trevor Baillie, Pablo Stewart for Thunder Bolt in 1986

Antheng Riddim – Thunder Bolt brings together a 1986 Thunder Bolt production credited to Steven Lee, Trevor Baillie and Pablo Stewart, with a nine-track selection that pulls in Bunny Rugs, Delroy Wilson, Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs, Horace Andy, Ibo Cooper, Little John and Sugar Minott. The line-up leans heavily on big voices of the era, moving from Bunny Rugs’ Woman I Love You and Dennis Brown’s I’ll Get Along Without You to Gregory Isaacs’ Cool Lady and Sugar Minott’s Dancehall Theng. It also includes two Ibo Cooper cuts, Food And Money and Space Scientist, which add a slightly broader edge to the set. With eight artists across nine tracks, this one feels like a compact but varied late-’80s roots-to-dancehall package, driven by smooth vocal performances and that classic Thunder Bolt studio flavour.
