Marcus Scott sent me his excellent dub album recommendations, which I am posting here with his permission.

George faith - to be a lover - (vocals but with perrys black art treatment v special)

Mainly covers but in a stripped down hypnotic style - a unique album

boris gardiner- ultra super dub vol 1 - funky quite early dub instrumentals - gardiner was a bass player and band leader of note, not just the guy who did that lovely dovey song

scientist space invaders - obvs choice but it's a killer with perfect use of bleeps and blops

herb collie dub skatelites - they reformed mid 70s and recorded in black ark and tubby's studio - there's some killer gear in here

tubby meets harry mudie dub conference 1 - mudie was a jazz guy and this is stripped down and jazzy and a high point of beautifully articulated dub

yabby you and tubby - beware dub - love yabby you - in another world he would have sung in a doom metal band, stern and heavy

tappa zukie in dub - zukie takes the best dubs and has fun mixing them with a lot of energy , mostly bunny lee tracks

glen brown / king tubby termination dub - again pretty funky stuff, tuff and powerful

aswad - new chapter in dub very musical dynamic - lots of great isolation of horns etc - a beautiful record

twinkle bros - dub massacre - cold stepping dub by mad professor and shaka together

black uhuru - the dub factor - compass point all stars and paul groucho smykle inna expensive studio.

firehouse dub vol 2 - sippa cup meets negus roots - think this is a recent comp of excellent 80s dub, i had a few 12 off it

tradition -- captain ganja and the space patrol - awful name - great radiophonics workshop inspired uk dub

cry tuff dub encounter vol 3 (also general strike danger in paradise - same ppl) the general strike guys, beresford and toop with the slits making a joyful sound with Adrian Sherwood

hugh mundell ital sip - the greatest dub track of all time - augustus pablo - everything about it is perfect

Thanks Ben, love all of these, especially happy about the inclusion of Starship Africa. Personally I do prefer the Rhythm & Sound catalogue over Basic Channel, probably because I've always been more into dub than I've been into actual techno. Still, Quadrant Dub and Phylyps Trak are undeniable classics of course. Will dive into the ones I hadn't heard yet. Great list.

thank you! I probably prefer Rhythm and Sound to listen to. But the Basic Channel sound is remarkable and probably more special (to me, anyway!)

Several of these are esteemed in my collection as well. You've got Sherwood represented, but I'd have to include some African Head Charge; *Songs of Praise* and *In Search of Shashamane Land* are my favorites. The first Little Axe record also found me at just the right time.

Correction: That would be "In Pursuit of..." in the 1993 AHC title. And it looks like the Little Axe record I heard first was actually the second (1994) release, *The Wolf That House Built.* Referring to Howlin' Wolf and Son House, because it features some dubs built on blues riffs and samples. Wicked good.

No Protection is one of those perfect late-night ones, with U.F.Orb, that regardless of how expected they are, I'm more than happy to wrap myself (and anyone else) in.

Oh my god I ADORE UF Orb!!! I didn't put it in here because 10 is a small number but you could definitely make a case for it.

Great list, concluding from last week. I have to give another shout out to Neil 'Mad Professor' Fraser because his remixes for The KLF, and then ROIR tapes of On-U-Sound artists were definitely my gateway into dub around 1990/91. I think it was either Mad Professor's or the Moody Boys remix which sampled 'A Rougher Version' by King Tubby and blew my mind. Lots of lost mornings listening to albums by Joe Gibbs, Jah Shaka, etc. in Clash Records in Leeds. Also a plug for our friend ireless who was struggling to make dub techno around 1990-94 - see 'Electron Dub' and the new 'Foretrax 1' EP.

you are so right. Mad Professor is such a great person. I interviewed him once, if you're interested. https://soundcloud.com/line-noise-podcast/line-noise-episode-126-mad-professor
