Some will be the usual suspects - Primal Scream vs. Adrian Sherwood, The Orb - some will be less obvious. Alisha's Attic and Bangles are not names that immediately spring to mind, yet Talvin Singh and Todd Terje respectively work their magic, transforming lightweight pop into heavyweight dub collossi.
The feedback-drenched, disturbing dub of Retribution Gospel Choir, formed by Low's Alan Sparhawk, is offset by the less dubby, more reggae sunsplash sounds of Au Revoir Simone.
The closing track by The Orb is a highlight of the excellent Live 93 album. The promo 12" version included here extends the album version by a further four minutes, to blissful effect.
