Judgement Time Riddim – Thompson Sound

Thompson Sound’s Judgement Time Riddim lands right in Linval Thompson’s wheelhouse: lean, दबbling roots pressure, a dark little cut that leaves space for the bass and the echo to do their work. Mystic Eyes’ “Judgement Time” carries the riddim with that stern, warning-shot tone, while Trinity’s “Pope Paul Dead” pushes the same backdrop into sharper, more pointed territory; the version tucked underneath keeps the whole thing humming like a proper 1980 dub plate. Thompson had founded Thompson Sound in Jamaica by this point, and you can hear that self-contained, no-frills approach in the way the groove never overreaches. Just three tracks, but the mood hangs heavy.
