I particularly love the DUB albums of Prince Far I:
Dub To Africa is a must

The Cry Tuff Serie is excellent, but I prefer the third one:

I get the feeling we've been here before...
Don't miss his original LP recording - Psalms Far I - it's a real classic vocal LP that brings out the best in Far I.
to answer your question:
Under Heavy Manners is very good. The other three don't come close to Manners or Psalms in my opinion.

Rob, you can try all this music at full length yourself at
www.princefari.com. I think it is mono and not a high bitrate but it will give you a good impression.

The 2 FRONTLINE releases :
BLACK MAN LAND ( 2 albums, Message From the King and Livity)
and DUBWISE ( Cry Tuff part 2 plus extra tracks ) are excellent.
so is VOICE OF THUNDER
but I love most of his albums even the ones that just sample him.
Did you know Primal Scream even sampled him ...
of course that was also mixed by Adrian Sherwood.
I think the only one I don't listen to much is Psalms!

My choices:
[cover=576,682][cover=1597,1850][cover=1560,1805]
and
[cover=2916,3340]
which covers his last 4 albums up from Free From Sin (to me, those last 4 albums are superb)
With his dubs, you simply can't go wrong...
