I've always liked trip hop, but I'm just recently actively listening to it. There's a lot of great stuff going on: more harmonic freedom than rock music, more elaborate rhythms than hip hop, and it's all full of synthetic house/techno timbres.
I just wanted to know if anyone else is listening to it. If so, tell me about some good acts, records, or albums.

Zero7
Supreme Beings of Leisure
Tricky
Massive Attack
Sneaker Pimps...
etc, etc...
and their kindred spirits like AIR with baroque electronica elements and DJ Shadow with his turntablist stylings and Portishead with their cinematic qualities, to Bill Laswell with his dubby aesthetic...yes, I love the genre and it never gets old, regardless of how "in fashion" it isn't anymore.

| | Fueled by chocolate | | Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: Montreal, Canada | | | A bit of a vague genre, this one. Silent Poets from Japan did some great stuff on their first few albums, as did France's DJ Cam. DJ Krush had some nice stuff as well. Then there's all of the Mo' Wax and Ninja Tune releases. One of the best has to be Funki Porcini's "Hed Phone Sex". There was also an English group called Sandals which I would classify as "trip-hopish" ("Rite To Silence" was a very underrated album) who were quite different and incorporated more live instruments then was the norm. |

Josh | +1 on that. That is a very good album. Too bad they broke up.

"the Idiot Kings" is in my top 5 fave songs, ever, hands down.
