King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown - Augustus Pablo and King Tubby
Revolution Dub - Lee Perry and The Upsetters
Super Ape - The Upsetters
Black Foundation In Dub - Errol Thompson and King Tubby
King Tubby's Lost Treasures - King Tubby

Sun Araw. He has done some very interesting takes on dub infusing it with modern electronics, space rock and noise. His collab with M. Geddes Gengras & the Congos called 'Icon give thank' is a wonderful spin on the old school dub style.
For a more 'out-there' album of his (again a collab though this time with Eternal Tapestry) try out Night Gallery.

Almost forgot about Easy Star All-Stars dub version of Dark Side Of The Moon. Such a charming little album - and one that'll sneak it's way down your girlfriend's trousers too.

In a similar vein you'll find High Tone's Acid Dub Nucleik.

Oh and how about a little math rock with your dub? Here's Dub Trio's Another Sound Is Dying.

Easy Stars also do a great version of OK Computer called Radiodread. Speaking of math rock, some post-rock bands dabble in dub once in awhile like Tortoise, HiM, Fridge, Pivot, Do Make Say Think, .O. Rang and Battles.

Thanks for reminding me of O.Rang DarrylThumbs Up
I always gravitate towards the post rock bands that infuse a bit of Kraut or psych into the mix - like Cul de Sac and Kammerflimmer Kollektief fx. 
So naturally I've been meaning to check out O.Rang.

Bill Laswell (featured on PA in various constellations) has also made a few noteworthy dub releases.



Great music for space tobacco and sofas.
