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.

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.

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
