If you're entirely new to the genre of trip hop, their latest, 3rd, might be a bit more accessable to you, but I'd say start from the beginning and grab Dummy.

I'm actually a fan of trip hop, don't know much about it, but I enjoy it immensly... getting Dummy right away.

So from there, I continue chronologically?

Yessir... There's only 3 albums total plus a live album. The live album really helps bring a lot together once you've heard the first two, so maybe give that a shot as well. '3rd' was the best album of 08' in my opinion, so maybe that gives you something to look forward to as well. Hope you like it all!

I believe you when you say "addicted", over your 100th listen of the song today or not yet?

Can't lose with any of them, they're all fantastic.

Well there's no reason for this to remain dead, is there?
I've recently acquired Dummy, and it's damn good.
