Lots and lots of them, nuff music out of the island in that time which deserves to be repackaged and compiled don't ya think?

Indeed "Wanted" is a great album with killers tunes like those of The Psalms or Roy Dobson, but you have many unknown artists that did one or more cd's

To name a few unknown artists :

Check all the I Grade Productions for new school artists like Niroyah, Abja, Army, Ancient King,..
Dubwise Productions are excellent too with with old school artists like Winston Fergus, Leroy Gibbons,...
Otherwise try finding those:

Benjamin Zephaniah
Desi Roots
Icho Candy
Lacksley Castell
Ooklah The Moc (from Hawaï)
Reggae Regular
Sandeeno
Sons Of Jah
...

Made a mistake is Niyorah...

Check SOJA (soldiers of jah army). Very good roots music.
