Aswad's New Chapter of Dub— What else is similarly awesome?

What I like about it is the total fucking space-ship abandon that Mickey Dread lays all over the album. It's poppy in parts, but produced totally excessively, and in a way I haven't heard in other Mickey Dread joints (mostly WWIII).

I'll cop to not having a huge dub collection, but whereas a lot of Lee Perry can sound really goddamned samey to me, they also seem a lot more rooted in the notion of songs being remixed and a firmer grounding in reggae tradition. I like that OK, but I'd like to find more of this crazy dub that just slathers everything to an incomprehensible degree (at some points). I also like how it has a much brighter, less murky sound than a lot of dub.

I'd like to avoid the ultra-cheese that I hear a lot in the modern dancehall stuff, but some cheese is cool. Can you help me, ILX?
