I don't think that Portishead is the epitome of trip hop. I kind of consider them more down tempo, however if pressed to define the genre, I really couldn't. It's criteria is fairly vague, but Pedestrian is definitely right about
Mezzanine. It's a genre-defining album. That and
Maxinquaye by Tricky.
