Noah House Of Dread was a vehicle for the alternate incarnation of ex-Creation Rebel master percussionist Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah a.k.a. Bonjo I, whose talents also provided the centrepiece of the about to be created African Head Charge. So the primary purpose of Noah House of Dread was as an outlet for Bonjo to "let off" and satisfy his yearnings as a vocalist and band leader. This contrasted with AHC's then virtual studio collective with an experimental angle - mainly percussion-based with early experiments in "captured" or sampled sound as explored by producer Adrian Sherwood.
The line-up of Noah House of Dread was: Drums - Eskimo, Bass - Ever, Guitar - Danjuma / "Crucial" Tony, Piano - Bubblers, Horns - Nicky Norris / Jah Globe / Deadly Headley / Flash / Rudy, Vocals - Bonjo I a.k.a. Noah, Percussion - Bonjo I a.k.a. Noah, Harmony - The Heart Choir.
