God I loved this record! He's still active as a producer, although I couldn't tell you what his lates project is...
I heard that he re-mixed Radiohead's Nude and is currently in the lead for best remix (a fan contest on Radioheads site).
Could be. Dolby has stayed active in the music business and his interest as a producer seems to be greater than his interest in producing his own music.
