Well, I don't see Massive Attack listed; they definetely deserve a mention!

Favorite album is Mezzanine, but favorite songs are "Three" and "Spying Glass," which are from their second album, Protection.

Morcheeba's nice, but definetely groovier (and sunnier) than either Portishead or Sneaker Pimps.

Favorite album is Big Calm, and favorite song is "Let Me See," from the same album.

Uhm, I don't know if Esthero's Breath from Another can be classified as trip-hop, but it has that same vibe..

And Moloko!

Their first album falls into the trip-hop category.. Do You Like My Tight Sweater?


Info edit.

Did anyone say Tricky?

And trip hop fans generally enjoy DJ Cam from France.

You did. biggrin I have to admit, as much as I liked the genre when it first got a name, I could never - and still can't - get into him.

I mean, it's a few singles on the first album that are trip hop staples and we can't really get around this discussion without naming him, especially considering his roots with Massive Attack.

But yeah, I feel you. Can't say I didn't try.

It's DJ Cam's album's I really want to recommend here. Of course, the earlier the better as trip hop is a very timely genre.

Yeah! That song is a good one.

Do you have Formica Blues? I purchased it a few years ago, but returned it.. just couldn't get into it at the time.

"High Life" is one song I do remember and like. Kind of reminded of Saint Etienne.

See, I'm kinda the opposite. I enjoy some of the other artists named here. But the only one that really matters to me is Tricky.

Sofa Surfers


Trip Hop was just another bullshit tag the music media put on music which featured aspects of Dub/Jazz/Hip Hop. Although this tag was quite possiby the lamest crappy name for a genre which has been made up yet....and there's been a few.

Sofa Surfers are insanely good. Their 2nd album "Cargo" is pure genius (the remix album of it is quite good too). Their 3rd "Encounters" and their debut "Transit" are great too. Sadly the last album they released (self titled) is a terrible alternative rock album?? They should definately stick to what they're good at.....and that's a really dark rolling Dub/Jazz/Breaks fusion.

Other awesome artist's who were lumped into this lame name genre were Bristol Godfathers Smith & Mighty who produced the early Massive Attack and easily made better albums than Massive Attack if anyone cares to delve into their output.

Nightmares On Wax
All of the Ninja Tune crew
Howie B

And whoever else mixed Hip Hop with Dub, Jazz & Jungle.


By the way Tricky is a genius although I can see why some people can't get into him due to his records not being very mainstream sounding.

What is trip hop? Is it techno, trance, or whatever the hell house music eventually turned into, with a rap on top of it?

I didn't know maybe if it was a new trend in trance music like the one that lasted a little while in house music which was "hip house".

Tricky is God as far as I'm concerned. Listening to his music is like taking a tour through hell with the protection of a demon mushy

Don't be offended but no, fuck all that shit. I hate this cunt that plays that shite on his Ipod full blast at 6.30am on his Ipod, when i'm on the bus to work. I have the urge to smash his head against the bus window every morning. Damn that CCTV.

Motherfucker! mad

I really don't think trip hop is something that Vainandy would enjoy!

And trip hop is slow hip hop beats with singing, basically.
