Pressure Sounds dips back into Augustus Pablo’s early-’70s orbit here, gathering versions from the old Darker Shade of Black rhythm and giving them a clean label-side presentation. Riddim-ID traces Pablo’s “Harder Sade Of Black” back to that Leonard Chin/Santic connection, which fits the way this set treats the material as part of a wider family rather than a one-off curiosity. The real pleasure is hearing Pablo’s own cuts alongside voices like Gregory Isaacs, Horace Andy, Big Joe and I Roy, so the mood stays rooted, melodic and heavy on atmosphere. It moves like a small showcase of the rhythm’s reach, with Pablo’s dubs and reed-driven instrumentals threaded between the vocal sides instead of parked at the end, which keeps the sequencing feeling deliberate and close to the studio source.
