Cheers droid.

Another strong contender would be madd anju's "wha dis fadda" on ants heap riddim ... can't find a recording on the net but was a young blood 7", also on greensleeves sampler 20. anyway you can get some idea of the introspectiveness of it from the lyrics:

Father forgive mi, mi nah complain
But sometime the sysem stressing to the brain
When things get tuff an times get harder
Sometime wi affi ask, a wha dis fadda ...

You'd think there'd be an Ants nest riddim mix on youtube wouldn't you?

Heres the Beenie cut anyway:

Just posting that cos I love the way they rip off the theme to the Southbank show.

there are no accidents
none of these are as introspective or or melancholy as the sizzla tune i posted.

This has to be one of the saddest and most eerie tunes in reggae history.
