Trip Hop

>>74021988
it is an ok album with a couple of memorable hits

it's not good party music, the album or the genre

it's music for depressed people with an opioid addiction

i will keep shilling Moth Equals

>>74021988
portishead be all end all

too bad the genre didn't age well

Genre that gets unnecessarily shit on around here see >>>74022047.

Sneaker Pimps - Becoming X

>>74021988
love it. tricky is an all time favourite artist of mine, way ahead of his time

that said, I don't view it as a true genre, more of a regional scene and time period. the sonic approach has just been absorbed into music in general instead of continuing as a genre unto itself. like shoegaze, any modern attempt at the genre comes off as a pastiche, but using elements of it elsewhere or blending with another genre opens up a world of possibilities. it's especially true of trip hop which itself was kinda defined by its eclecticism

as for massive attack, maxinquaye is a great album and I love group four especially. it's a shame liz fraser disappeared of the face of the earth, but it's fitting she was on that album because early cocteau twins was proto-trip hop. I think early massive attack is kinda overrated. very dry, not as atmospheric and too much like traditional hip hop. portishead are hard to dislike, but I prefer third to their original albums

sneaker pimps were nice too, another band that went all over the place musically

Really good background music. I love the genre but I get the beef with it. Glad it happened.

Good downtempo music like What do you think of Nightmares on Wax, Kid Koala, Moloko, Bonobo, Boozoo Bajou, Lemon Jelly, Air, De-Phazz, Koop, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Salmonella Dub, Aim, Moby, Tosca, Thievery Corporation, Groove Armada, Boards of Canada, Zero 7, stuff Like that?

Best trip hop

??? i think it's a genre that has aged better than most.

disclaimer: i wasnt grown up in the 90s enjoying the music on drugs

>early cocteau twins was proto-trip hop
now there's an interesting take. what's a specific track that illustrates this?

I like Portishead and some Massive Attack songs.
Melody A.M. is my favorite Trip Hop album, though it hardly sounds the same as most in the genre

>>74024376
most of garlands, but especially shallow then halo comes to mind. siouxsie was a clear influence on trip hop too

Anyone here familiar with Everything But The Girl? They're not solely a trip hop act, but their last two albums have some good tracks in the genre. Their vocalist is actually the one who sang on Protection by Massive Attack.
