Trip-Hop
 

i wish to expand my horizons blah blah. trip-hop wise i know of massive attack and saul williams but i want to explore it further. so, any suggestions?

Well there was only a handful of real trip hop bands anyway. (Massive Attack ,Tricky , Morcheeba, Portishead) And they all kinda got lost in the late 90s

If you want something more up to date I`d maybe suggest some chill out/hip hop/electronica influenced stuff ... like DJ Shadow , Mr Scruff , David Holmes , Fourtet , Cinematic Orchestra , Nightmares On Wax , Blue States ,Boards Of Canada, UNKLE ... that sort of thing

Did I miss some crucial point in Saul Williams' Career? Last I knew he Was a spoken-word artist. Not a far stretch by any means, but still.

nice one. i didnt think of morcheeba, portishead or blue states as trip-hop.

Pick up an album from Bjork, Portishead, and Tricky, and you're in the clear.

yo, go pick up dummy by portishead. nuspirit helsinki does some tight trip hop sh*t too.

one of the best albums I own. Great f*cking recommendation.

i have their self-titled follow up to dummy- but not dummy itself.

dj shadow - stem long stem, midnight in a perfect world, high noon, blood on the motorway, duality, building steam with a grain of salt.... get all these songs

Dj Shadow is ILL !!!!!!!! I'm trying to find a song. I think its on Preemptive Strike Its really slow and peacful, has a nice melodic bass part and a guy singing something that sounds like "chances are" here and there.
