If you'd like to hear some heavy, heavy monster sounds, do check out Immigration Dub the new CD from Dubblestandart. They're from Vienna, doing the heavy dub/electonica/rock thing. Clearly influenced by Sherwood and the On-U Sound crew, right down to a Son House blues cover. They do get mad obscurity points for knowing the history, tho. In the liner notes they reference McDonald, Wimbish and LeBlanc as the Sugarhill house band. Anyway, they transcend the easy answer to "what would you get if you crossed On-U with G-Stoned?" Standout tracks on the new one are the Ken Boothe cover (with Ken Boothe); the title track, with Lagos deejay 3gga; the Dub Syndicate cover, which manages to be both heavily dubby and seriously rock out (and its got some sick synth lines snaking thru it; the one I'll never be able to play on the radio (aka "We All Have to Get High"); and the Horace Andy cover, with Gudrun handling the high notes (it's "Money Money" which anyone who's ever heard Blue Lines will immediately recognize).
Hugely recommended.
