Seek Knowledge Before Vengeance- Midnite
Ainshant Maps- Midnite
Infinite Quality- Midnite & Lustre Kings
Yes, all Midnite. I think they are far and away the strongest contemporary roots outfit, and those three albums are absolute killers. As for albums released by artists who sang during the heyday, I really like Burning Spear's Jah Is Real.
If you have not heard Ainshant Maps, do yourself a favor and give this tune a listen (and turn your bass up):
