El-B is considered to be the 'godfather' of Dubstep, with his early 
'Ghost' projects cited as the origins of the genre.

That collection covers his 2 Step, Grime and some of the 'Ghost' 
production and yeah it is a retrospective look (probably ranging between 
10 years old at the most to about 2006/7.)

Interviews with Burial that I've read - when he's been asked about 
influences, El-B (and specifically his drums) is often mentioned with 
Burial deeming them the ideal drums so it's not surprising there are 
similarities.
