One of the more remarkable assemblies of talent in the On-U Sound catalog, including vocal turns from Bim Sherman, Congo Ashanti Roy, Mikey Dread, and Prince Far I, "Staggering Heights" is considered by some to be the UK early avant-dub scene's creative peak. It manages to sound somehow loose and spontaneous, and yet, absurdly ahead of its time.
