Reggae music fans help; re: Scary Reggae Music

I was at Circuit City the other day and they were playing some cool sounding slow paced reggae music. Not the bouncy sounding upbeat reggae music that I always hear, but almost ballad-like with a melancholy sound.

The clerk told me that is was a "burned" cd. Hmmm.

Does anybody have any ideas on who the reggae musician might be?

Might of been Scientist's, "Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires" (1981). A dub album mixed at King Tubby's. Released on the Geensleves label. Available on Greensleeves CD GRELCD 25.

Might have been "Untouchable" from the album by the same by Anthony B. You can listen to that song on amazon. If you like "scary" reggae, check out some of the records by the late Keith Hudson or the late Price Far I (the voiced stuff although the dubs are equally good).

Scary, slowed-down reggae is actually called dub, as someone noted. It's also electronically augmented with deeper bass. You want some dub? Try then Bill Laswell, Scarab, Rhythm and Sound(classic, even though they are German). A good place to start is legendary Macro Dub Infection 1 & 2 complilations. Do a search for dub music on Amazon.
