Trip-Hop: The Good Records

<< < (5/9) > >>

PassiveTheory:
Weekend Players... Someone told me about them once. What record would you recommend?

3Z3VH:
As far as I know, they only made one, called "Pursuit of Happiness."

PECOAE:
I recently got Mezzanine, Blue Lines, and 100th Window off of the Mediafire thread, and listening to Mezzanine, it is AWESOME.

And of course, I love Psycence Fiction by U.N.K.L.E and DJ Shadow's solo shit like Endtroducing.

Phaedra:

I was thinking mainly of Bricolage, yes. Although I love his newer work and actually think it's superior, it isn't quite so heavy on the dark atmospherics, which is what trip-hop came to be primarily known for. Though, he does lack a seductive female vocalist...

I don't think trip-hop is quite dead, but its heyday is certainly over. For now. I, for one, vote for a renaissance. Mezzanine is pretty much one of the best albums evar.

PassiveTheory:
It's heyday MAY be over, BUT... 2008 has been one hell of a renaissance, if I do say so myself:

Portishead's Third (*****)
Thievery Corporation's Radio Retaliation (*****)
Morcheeba's Dive Deep (**)
Supreme Beings of Leisure's 11i (***1/2)
Tricky's Knowle West Boy (****)
Nightmares on Wax's thought so... ( [haven't listened to it yet] )
Martina Topley-Bird's The Blue God (***1/2)
Trifonic's Emergence (***1/2) <--- You can get this album for free off of their website (yes, I know I'm shilling them, but I interviewed these guys for my radio show, they're pretty awesome)

And then, if I were to stretch things...

Quiet Village's Silent Movie (****)
Why?'s Alopecia (****)
