Did D&B largely go off the boil in about 95/96? YES
Is More Rockers "Dub Plate Selection Vol 1" absolutely amazing and a
purchase on sight CD? YES
More seriously, for a lot of us this mix really defined everything
that could be so good about D&B (speaking as a group of people from a
reggae background who loved D&B madly at the time)
As for Detroit/D&B crossover, look no further than Jazz Juice's
"Detroit" (Alex Reece and Wax Doctor I believe). Alex Reece also
remixed Kenny Larkin's "Loop 2" and often professed a great love of
Detroit Techno.
Still, the bashment style D&B has it IMO, with a sideways nod to the
V/Full Cycle massive.

Try Jacob Optical Stairway on R&S for a strong Detriot feel. I think one of
the tracks was co produced by Derrick May ??
Maybr More Rockers compile their 12" onto a CD with a more dubby drum and
bass vibe if you like that kinda thing.
The Mixmag Bukem set still kicks it big time imo.

After that probably T-Power's "The Self Evident Truth of an Intuitive
Mind"
I second that, one of my fave albums ever
I bought waveform but wasn't as good imho
Another excellent DnB album is omni trio - byte size life 4x12 (3rd
track - brothers in detroit)
Some other artists
Big Bud, artemis, .... Best thing is to look at the track listing on
the EARTH compilations and use artists there as a guide.
