Have you ever listened to Thievery Corporation. Yeah - I know - They are found in the "Dance" category but they do some great stuff. They had an album called "The Richest Man in Babylon" and then they did a dub remix of some of the songs. Nice change of pace. Check out some samples here -
Trojan Dub Box Set Vol. 1 & 2 are good (3 discs each.) Also, before OiNK got down, MadOrb compiled a compilation called I'll Be Black and it has some sweet songs on it. I also got the best of King Tubby, Dreams of Freedom which are ambient Bob Marley remixes in dub, and I think that's about it.
I just remembered that I have the Eek-A-Mouse CD Wa-Do-Dem. Bidi bidi bong bong 4tw. I also have this album called Extra Long Life by Alkaline which is pretty good so far.
And yeah, Peter Tosh is great (I have Scrolls of the Prophet) but I'm not sure if it's dub. I would love to hear some dub remixes though. As big of a Marley fan I am, some of his versions are sick, especially "Downpresser Man."
Fishguy, Easy Star All-Stars also did some dubby Radiohead. Good, but not as good as the dub side of the moon. That was just some excellent work.
This thread had me listening to Lee Perry all day at work today.

i popped in that 4th lee perry cd when i was cleaning up the house
my bro bought me some salmonela dub when he went to nz.
it's nice.
i love the old reggae dub shenanigans but can't get away from the orb when i'm after some fat chunkiness.
also mr. scruff did some stuff with a bunch of guys from around and about that is wide, podgey, a little piggy, gluttonous, bloated, gloopy and outright PHAT (with even bigger capital letters).
After listening to more dub I feel like I know way more about the intricacies of it. King Tubby is still my favorite. His style is just so great. Super emotional and great riffs. King Tubby is good too if you're in that sort of super trippy weird-ass mood.
