Most sophisticated reggae track, musically

[vlad]

I would say probably stuff crafted for and by Ijanman in Island years....

What say?.....

Some Pablo Moses maybe , alot of music associated with Geoffrey Chung is pretty sophisticated but still seems to keep it heavy. I think he was involved in I Jah Man stuff as well.

[Congo Bunny]

Agree with both of those

I'd add third world 96 degrees in the shade

[abey]

zap pow - world
groundation - not so simple

[Peace Pipe]

Pioneers - Let your yeah be yeah

[MatejkoFarI]

I would say Culture - Two Sevens Clash

[kalcidis]

When I read the title I was also going to say Ijahman's first album. Another album I really think is sophisticated is Rico's Man From Wareika. Wonderful rich arrangements with profound jazz inspiration.

[unorthodoxconqueror]

how are we defining "sophisticated" ? complex timing and key changes? or just big arrangements?

i'm gonna say the drums on mighty diamonds "right time". doesnt get more sophisticated than that.

One of the more sophisticated arrangements Joe White - Everything Nice Part 2
