Inspired by Audio Warfare in this thread, I turned my attention to something a bit different. Now it's been a good 15 years since I regularly hung out with a guy who was a massive fan of reggae/dub, so my knowledge of the genre is a bit rusty.
This song is now finished:

I've left the rest of the OP for context below.
Original Post continues
That's where I'm hoping you can give me some pointers as to where to go next. What do you think of the rough idea so far? What needs improving? What sounds like bleurgh?
I'm assuming I still need some random heavily delayed sound effects that come in every now and then. Anything else I've forgotten?
The vocals are just various random phrases I recorded. But IIRC, I don't need much more than that, right?
Suggested reference tracks would be most appreciated too, as I don't know that many artists by name. Listened to a bit of King Tubby. One of those genres where I've heard a lot of music without knowing the track or artist.
