Tonos Riddim – Gemini Records

A lean, rootsy mid-80s cut with a dry, insistent swing, Tonos Riddim keeps the focus on the groove rather than any big studio fireworks, which suits the two-song setup nicely. Don Angelo’s “Bicycle Move” has the sharper edge of the pair, while Patrick Andy’s “Neat Mi Sweet” leans into a smoother, more melodic toast. Gemini Records had a habit of keeping its productions concise in this period, and this one feels cut from that same cloth: no excess, just a tidy rhythm and two singers who know how to ride it. In the Gemini catalogue, it sits as one of those smaller singles-era releases that tells you as much about the label’s taste as any bigger compilation.
