Why does no one make trip-hop anymore? Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places but it seems dead, which is a shame because pic related (aside from fucking Black Steel) and Portishead are two of my favorite things ever.

The massive Attack EP from last year was nice but I dunno if it counts as trip-hop. People get really anal over what is and isn't trip-hop.

what is wrong with black steel?
all of the artists who are considered legendary in the genre never set out to make trip hop itself. it's what the media pigeonholed it as.
Proto trip hop like Soul II Soul and early Massive Attack is the best. Portishead and all the jazzy downtempo mood-muzak-for-potsmokers that followed in its wake feels pretty forgettable to me.
