    i've always had problems with this record and the miles record that bill
    did. while i think that it would probably work for the purpose of this
    thread (i.e., the originator's wish), i always felt like bill got paid to
    take out bob's vox, and put a lot of reverb on everything--it may be
    ambient, but that's not dub.

    the king tubby recommendation, on the other hand, is a great album. the
    select cuts series ("...from blood & fire") vols. 1 & 2 are both very nice,
    too. the dub version of "protection" by massive attack (aka "no
    protection") was one of my first introductions to mad professor, one of my
    favorite dub producers.
