Linval Thompson Essentials

Linval Thompson Essentials

A master of reggae whether behind the boards or on the mic, Linval Thompson crafted a dubby sound that combined his naturally breezy voice with skittering beats that seem to swirl like a tornado. On ‘80s classics like "Look How Me Sexy", Thompson rides atop a light, bassy swing, delivering the titular lyric more as a romantic invitation than a bullheaded boast. "Boss Man's Dub", meanwhile, shows him at his most adventurous, turning up the reverb for a cavernous riddim of echoing drums and guitar.
