wow, nice comprehensive list. Most of my faves are on here, but I'd like to mention Audio Active from Japan. They have many releases with varying amounts of reggae dub influence. Very interesting meeting of reggae, noise, ambient, techno, and rock. My favorite album of theirs at the moment is melt1 which i find to be fairly ambient. i also particularly like Return of the Red Eye and Spaced Dolls. I strongly recommend them if you're looking for something a little different.
There is also a more traditional reggae/dub side project called Dry and Heavy...my fave contemporary group of that style.
Butch Cassidy Soundsystem-Butches Brew is some nice stuff with funky soul influences going on-not psy, but quite nice.
A few people have mentioned the liquid sound design comps, but I'd like to mention that my fave and the one I believe has the most direct dub sounds in Unity Dub's Journey to Paradise.
Finally I must enthuse about some TX live bands that play heavy dub sounds.
Sub Oslo-super psychedelic long epic tracks heavy on the bass. Some downloads: http://www.suboslo.com/downloads.html
and Echo Base Soundsystem, an Austin band with roots in dub reggae, another fave of mine. Listen: http://www.seedknowledge.com/04.htm click listen, select echo base soundsystem...will take a sec to load, but I think it's worth the wait 
ok, can y'all help me with some more specific info about some of these groups? Let me say I prefer very strong reggae dub influence-not just kinda dubby baselines or echo effects here and there. Kukan Dub Lagan and some of the Laswell stuff really exemplifies this for me, as does the OTT material. However, I also like psy melodies and fx so it's not just reggae done electronically-the hi fidelity comps, different drummer stuff, etc doesn't appeal to me personally as much. (groove corp is da shit though!) Anyway, with that in mind, could someone give a little info on the Ooze album "Where the fields never end" the Laroz album, and the different Gabriel Le mar albums?
Much thanks!

Afterthought dub recs: Crooklyn Dub Consortium/Syndicate complilations, BSI records, Systemwide, Dr. Israel-not my fave sound, but others might dig. "Tomorrow" by dr. Israel is one of my all time fave tracks, I love starting a set with it. Hooray for post apocalyptic dub! |

So just to add to the ol' list, Bill Laswell recently released two albums that are remixes of selections from old school label Trojan's catalogue. Unlike Dreams of Freedom, his Bob Marley "ambient translations" these tracks are pretty much their original length and not particularly spacey. Basically the original old reggae songs with some added effects. I keep going back and forth on what I think, but it's worth checking out if you're into dub, and certainly a good introduction to the older stuff if you're not familiar.
Also, a nyc ska/reggae label stubborn records put out an album by the Dub Champions called "Rolling," a lovely mix of electronic and live instrumentation. Close enough to psy-dub to mix into a set, but different enough to shake things up a little. One of my faves at the moment.

Yeah, Dr. Israel also has a ragga-jungle album out from a few years back I think.
BTW, Hi Pete, it's Seth, Polaris friend.
Nice set at Be Prepared, btw. |

A great album & quite possibly one of the the greatest reggae albums ever made - Lee Scratch Perry studio trickery a plenty - but top tunes as well & the Congoes are on fine vocal form - its only because Lee Scratch Perry fell out with his record company that it never got the widespread release it deserved in the 70s - Blood & Fire re-issued it a few years ago on CD and i'd thoroughly recomend it to anyone who has more than a passing interest in reggae.

Hey Seth, thanks for the kind words...Dr. Israel has a few albums that do the ragga-jungle-dub thing, most of it is hit or miss for me, although the track "Tomorrow" is one of my all time faves. Post-apocalyptic stuff always gets me.
Heart of the Congos was my favorite reggae album for quite some time, I've actually come to like Congo Ashanti a little more. It was produced by one of em, so it sounds like the way the Congos intended themselves to sound, as opposed to being filtered through Lee Perry's insanity. Heart of the Congos still rules, though, and is certainly more unique.
Finally, I just got the Gator Dash & Toires album "Back to my Family" and Lunar Sounds' "Electric Plants." The Gator Dash has a lot of live instrumentation and vocals and more roots feel than most dub associated with the psy community, but nice effects are certainly to be found. Reminds me at times of more modern effects in a On-U Sound style. Lunar Sounds has some psy-dubby moments, but reminds me a lot more of more mainstream chillout with house, jazz, lounge elements. Both albums I find pretty good, but my personal preference is for the reggae vibe with lots of psytrancey sounds (OTT, Kukan, etc.)

I highly recommend - a new chapter in dub - by aswad.... .. also super ape by the upsetters...
also fathoms deep by extremadura
seems like the psy dub realm has been covered in this thread...
anyone really serious should check out the dub shack on downstairs halfway up berwick st in soho london - talk to the guy behind the decks and slowly you will uncover the 7" gems that are there...
another fine place is the dub vendor in Ladbroke Grove...
- also - forgot to give respect that is due to the Mad Professor - check the cd psychedelic dub...
and not forgetting zion train / tassili players

hallo breddas., i love jamaican dub deeeeply, indeed i`ve spent most of me money in the last years buying original 7"s, 10"s and 12"s not only from the dubevermasters (augustuspablo, tubby, perry, scientist,jammy...) but also from acts such as Zion Train, Rhythm & Sound, Mad Professor and loads of the underground/b-side jamaican stuff and nu stuff. I love to spin those vinyls at ocassional rootsy/non-"psy" parties we have down south.
(See, jamaica is an infinite source of tropical psychedelia, in all senses ))
But since I also like the "psy"-side-of-roots, i once become requested and amped to dj more "psychedelic"-nu-y3k stuff at chill outs. I`m very happy to see a topic like that, to see everybody sharing the same luv for the same music.
that`s irie nah?
I know some o dem have been mentioned, but I also believe some of dem not.. so here are my yop ones today:
originallly:
12" Lee PEerry and the Full experiences - DIsco Devil- Trojan 2004
LP- Zion Train vs Mad Professor vs Ruts DC - Rhythm Collision Remixes
10" Wailers BAnd/Rhythm & Sound - No Partial (niiiiice side the b one)
12" - ALLL THE RADIKAL ROOTS RE-EDITstuff! Those guys have been re-editing classical regggae songs into something new and very impressive. songs that start minimal and after couple minutes become dubs and then the original reggae versions...
Augustus Pablo- Java. timeless...
futurally:
Ott-anything from da man. been very lucky to see him dj at trancendence festival this year.
Kukan Dub Lagan- i definetly see something very special and unique in this guy styyle. life is nice
Alpha & Omega- the latest release "Trample the Dragon (2005)" is wonderful. the old stuff too (Spirit of the Ancients is cliched psy dub)
Brain Damage - Dub to dub, ashes to ashes. Top notch production, best french psychedelic dub in my humble opinion
Ott - again
Laroz All Stars- top (TOP!) israeli reggae dub. luv their collaaboration with jonah dan
B.R Stylers, Disciples, Dub Judah, Dry & Heavy, Basque Dub Foundation, Iration Steppas, Spacemonkey vs Goillaz
there is this old VA, callled "Skunked on Planet Dub", with some very nice songs from Alpha & Omega, Quirk, Doof, Hedonastik and more.
+more to come
blessings
