Post Millineum Dub

Dubliftment- The Vibronics Dubliftment was the title track of a double album. vinyl only, UK release by the Vibronics, in 2004. Five years later it gets a lot of play on sound systems in London and New York, although I must be the only person in the great state of Missouri in the US of A who paid 30 bucks to have it shipped to them from London. Most people in Missouri think Dub is a pretty good name for a horse.

The first issue of Dubliftment sold out almost instantly but we are talking about a limited edition run of 5000-10,000 pressings mostly for deejays, remixers and collectors. If a UK boutique label like Zion Train can turn a profit doing limited edition pressings of 5000 albums, I don't understand why the major labels can't turn a profit with all of those quadruple platinum albums they sell, even with all the file trading and free downloading going on.
