I'm liking this more than I expected to - thought it would be Dubstep's equivalent of Goldie (i.e. the white man's intellectually acceptable coffee table approximation) but it's a tad more edgy than that. As far as the genre's concerned I only own Ministry of Sound's "This is Dubstep" compo thus far, as most dubstep is issued on vinyl only and I don't have a record player anymore (although I've been to several dubstep nights and enjoyed them). Whether or not it will stand the test of time, who knows...
I had similar reservations at first and was also similarly pleasently surprised.
Maybe dubstep may always be a singles-led genre? Well, at least until Katy B's forthcoming album takes it so far overground that Goldie is a dot below.
I don't buy vinyl that often anymore either, but I could cobble together a rip-roaring CD comp or two for you if you'd like to hear more dubstep. Let me know if the idea appeals, mate.
