Definitely one of the best things that will come out this year. In fact, I think it's been quite a while since something that good was released in this field.
Excerpt from the press release:
Since their debut album the band have released five more studio albums, including the Clash tribute album The Clashification of Dub, plus a live album and a remix compilation with selective dubs by Victor Rice from Sao Paulo/Brazil.
Their new album celebrates William S. Burroughs and pays tribute his centenary, marking a new pop-cultural highlight in their work. With the official support and assistance of the William S. Burroughs Foundation in the United States, the band has succeeded in creating a heavy ambient masterpiece in 15 chapters.
They roll through dub landscapes full of heavy reggae grooves and extraterrestrial electro sounds, carried by pumping bass lines whose hypnotic power clears the pathway to the centre and gently caresses the stomach. Floating above the dragging, instrumental reggae cut-ups that gently drift into psychedelic territory, the artfully diluted grooves, breaks and virtuoso hints, and the majestic slowness of the riddims, rises the voice of WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS, beat poet, wanderer between worlds, junky supreme and counter-culture icon. His distinctive voice meets craggy soundscapes, harsh guitar chords and an acerbic Hammond organ which play off against each other in the mixing desk. Drenched in echo, the sounds in this dub treatment contravene the rules of space and time.
They leave behind a wonderful feeling of confusion where listeners can relax and respectfully accompany the soul of their travelling companion William S. Burroughs on the path to eternity - a highly addictive sound experience.
Out March 14.

Well hopefully now you'll become a Dub Spencer fan as well 
You should explore their discography -- they have a lot of great stuff.
And I assure you, this one is a heady one as well
Samples sound highly promising.

This sounds great... loving the lush echo dub and Bourroughs' chatter. Read a few of his books but this is the first time I've heard his voice. Works in a weird way. Thanks for sharing

I'm telling you, these guys have been making the most attractive and colorful dub in recent years.
And I have a feeling that this is their best one yet.

20 for a CD is kinda taking the piss though. I hope it gets released on Bandcamp eventually too.

I agree, it's a bit expensive. It includes shipping though.
