For classic dub, Lee "Scratch" Perry is the shit. He's got about 50 dub records going back to the 60's. Mad Prof's a protege of his. Check out Lee Perry/Mad Professor collaboration "Experryments at the grassroots of Dub" to bridge the gap. For more modern dub, the Macro dubs are really great, though not really all dub. Also check out the "Crooklyn Dub Consortium" compilations vol 1 & 2. Renegade Soundwave "in Dub" is okay, too. And of course the Orb. One of the best records I've ever heard is the Mad Professor vs. Massive Attack "No Protection" which, if you don't have it, is one of the greatest peices of musical re-engineering I've ever heard. (the first and last tracks are intense) Even if you don't like Massive Attack much (which I don't), this record is essential. The latest and greatest for me is WE's new record "As Is" (on Asphodel). Not pure dub, but a real heavy dub foundation with illbient/jungle/ambient slathered on top. -Chris Fahey
