You're on the right track looking up Fabric mixes, a lot of the popular good djs lately have released one and they cover a lot of genres so you'll probably find a variety of stuff you like. As for finding new artists, I would suggest looking up which labels some of your favorite artists release tracks on, and getting other releases. I'm not really a dubstep head so there's probably stuff more similar to what you talk about but a few artists releasing good stuff that aren't too wobbly are Martyn, Joy Orbison, Rustie, Mala and Nosaj Thing. Also try Modeselektor & Apparat's album 'Moderat'

Actress and 2562 are good too.

Anyone know of similar songs to Funkadelic - Maggot Brain

I really dig these kind of electric guitar solos

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh3bleXWaCk

Maggot Brain's special, sorry. The guitar player's Eddie Hazel and he has a pretty particular style, but his career was kind of hosed up because of drug/brain issues. The albums following Maggot Brain didn't have much input from him until 'Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On' which has Eddie getting some on just about every track. So check out that one and the Funkadelic S/T. Nothing that really approaches Maggot Brain, though.

I think there are other pieces in the same general neighborhood. If you want to say none of them approach the greatness of Maggot Brain, you could be right--but they still might be of interest. I'm going to mention Watermelon in Easter Hay and Black Napkins, both by Frank Zappa.

Someone else will post better recommendations but Morcheeba - Big Calm and Portishead - Dummy are pretty standard trip-hop, and Gorillaz - Gorillaz and the dub remix album of Gorillaz (Space Monkeys - Laika Come Home) sometimes have a similar sound to Massive Attack. Portishead's entire discography is pretty sick, really. According to Wikipedia Amon Tobin is trip-hop (who'd have thought?) so if you ever find yourself downloading some because he's mentioned, go for Bricolage and Supermodified for the most trip-hop sounding stuff, but it's generally fast. Maybe YouTube some of the tracks first to make sure it's what you want.

Can someone recommend anything that I'll enjoy if I liked Shuggie Otis - Inspiration Information. I know, I know, it's one album in a loving huge genre, but I'd just like someone to recommend two or three albums to get me going. Thanks!

Check out the first two Shiner albums, "Splay" and "Lula Divinia."

Later, Shiner got spacier and more melodic, with less of an emphasis on insane drumming and strange time signatures. Still awesome (same with the singer's current band The Life and Times), but not quite as technical and "math-y."

I can't remember if there are any other slower tunes on the album, but it's great nonetheless.

I'm looking for music similar to Lou Barlow's work on the Kids soundtrack.

Both ambient stuff like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1cU2hbnP30 -- the people in the comments there suggest Boards of Canada, I guess that's a good start. [Does anyone know what produces sounds like this? Maybe a synth flute reversed or something?]

And also the more rock stuff like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GJ9IhY6BpE -- sounds kind of like some early Sonic Youth to me, but a little cleaner and with more reverb.

That sound you're talking about in the first one is some kind of analog synth, I'm not sure which one. The genre you're looking for (and what Boards of Canada is paying homage to) is called 'library music', the kind of stuff they used to use in BBC programs, documentaries and educational stuff in the 70s, usually written by little-known commercial composers for the purpose of licensing so you're better looking it up by label than by artist. You might try Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre and Tangerine Dream, though they're not exactly what I'm talking about they're the closest 'big names' i can think of.
For the second, try Polvo, Swans, Tortoise and Slint.

I think Michael Andrew's soundtrack for Me and You and Everyone We Know fits this description. It's good. For awhile it was my most played on Last.fm because I got drunk one night, listened to it as I passed out, and left it on repeat for 12 hours.

I don't know if you're a fan of Mike Patton's work, but he has a band that goes by the name 'Peeping Tom' with a self-titled album. It's mostly all trip-hop, and he actually has a song that he does with Massive Attack on it.

It's quality work if you're into that sort of thing :).

There's also a bunch of depressing Impressions songs that aren't on youtube for some reason.

As to "where should I go with soul", the artists you've listed span a big chunk of time and styles. My usual suggestion to people is to connect groups/people you like via cross membership. Like Curtis Mayfield, check the Impressions. Like The Temptations, check Eddie Kendricks solo. The better thing to do is to follow labels, and the artists you picked are the big ones. Stevie Wonder (Tamla/Motown), Al Green (Hi/Motown), Isaac Hayes (Stax). Get familiar with the Stax & Motown singles, since they define the soul sound for most people and there's a ton of different label comps for both of 'em. Hi, Curtom, Back Beat, T-Neck, Chess were also big national labels worth checking out. Atco, too, since they had Donny Hathaway, King Curtis, Otis Redding, Roberta Flack (I think) but the label wasn't genre specific.

Best poo poo's regional/deep cuts, though.

Just to highlight a part of that point, check songwriting credits. For instance, Curtis Mayfield wrote a lot of great songs for artists that didn't get nearly as big. It's easier to check on a 45, but it's worth your while and helps you understand the music
