Well, for a start you *could* go back in time and get Dubnology  -
Journeys into Outer Bass ( it's the one preceding yours) released in
1995, Middle 4 CD.

Great lineup from Zion Train, System 7, Renegade SW, Banco de Gaia,
Loop Guru, Eat Static, TGU'ground, U'world, Meat Beat Manifesto etc.

Slightly harder and edging towards Industrial are the two Macro Dub
Infection double CD's (Vol 1 and Vol 2).  I'm looking at Vol 1 right
now, (also 1995) which has Spring Heel Jack, The Rootsman, Coil, Omni
Trio, Laika, Tortoise, 4 Hero, Mad Professor, Wagon Christ, Scorn etc.

Also check out Bill Laswell's dub version of Bob Marley (recent
release on Island Records 1997), also Bill Laswell's Dub Meltdown
(1997) - imo. this one's bOring, or go check out the On-U Sound /
Adrian Sherwood backcatalogue of African Head Charge and his recent
Echo Dek / dub of Primal Scream. Personally in that genre I still
adore Strange Brew's "Earth Out" (thanks Neil Moore !!) which is out
on vinyl only and a few years old, but it's totally gorgeous dub. 

And there's lots lots more... oh, and if you haven't heard this one
when it first happened, UB40's "signing off" still does it for me :-)
