got tired of 80s alternative and am now switching my attention to dubstep; anyone have not just suggestions, but "essential dubstep albums?" (I'm looking for you to come through, Naples)
All I've got is Burial- Untrue and some singles from Digital Mystiks and Pinch, so pretty much anything goes...

[Juan Schwartz]

Skream - Skream
Pinch - Underwater Dancehall
Boxcutter - Oneiric
Mary Anne Hobbs - Warrior Dubz
Vex'd - Degenerate
Shackleton - 3 EPs
Kode9 + The Spaceape - Memories of the Future

[Bork]

The days of learning are not over. Never heard of anything called dubstep in my life.

[RFNAPLES]

If you like Burial try:

Clubroot-Clubroot
Digital Mystikz-Return II Space
Kode9-DJ-Kicks
Mark One-One Way
Skream-Outside The Box
Vex'd-Cloud Seed

I sorta loathe dubstep for the most part, but Crooks and Loversby Mount Kimbie is pretty great.

Check out the 'CMYK' EP by James Blake, 'Gonna Work Out Fine' EP by Untold, and artists like Fantastic Mr Fox, Mount Kimbie, Bangatang, Whistla, Mala, Horsepower Productions (their first album), early Benga, Skream (who knows nothing of quality control, but much of quality), Hyetal, Short Stuff, Ikonika (she has an album out on the Hyperdub label I believe), Guido's album 'Anidea', Terror Danjah's 'Gremlinz' album (actually a compilation of instrumentals). The best starting point though is the 2-disc '5 Years of Hyperdub' compilation.

I am extremely excited about the release of the Night Slugs label's first compilation, 'Night Slugs Allstars vol. 1', including Girl Unit's 'Wut'. Buy it!
