Father Ho Lung - Miss Vitae is amazing. Musical arrangements by Harold Butler - recorded at Aquarius....sounds like Light of Saba backing a gospel choir. Heavily recommended.

On alot of LP's subject matter does tends to vary.
Depending on the artist or the era it was recorded, you can see huge differences track to track.
There's plenty of conscious material present, works of JAH no doubt, but most albums seem to slip in a love song or social commentary track almost everytime.

For straight roots with plenty of bible precepts check any of 'Fred Locks' albums.

Also check Ras Michael & Prince Far I.

These artists are pretty consistent track to track and overall.

Yeah, Satta Massagana was a good call for an extremely religious rasta reggae album

Here's my call

[cover=4071,456] [cover=1310,1509]
