About this album

Distant Thunder is a polished and ambitious late-1980s statement from Aswad, balancing roots reggae foundations with crossover-ready reggae-pop. Released in 1988, the album found the British group refining their sound into something broader and more accessible without losing the social consciousness and melodic ease that made them one of the era’s most important UK reggae acts. Built around strong hooks, smooth harmonies and a confident studio sheen, it includes the hit 'Don’t Turn Around', which helped carry Aswad’s name far beyond the reggae audience. The record stands as one of their most recognisable and commercially successful albums.
