Trip-Hop: The Good Records
Phaedra:
Thanks for reminding me, I need to actually listen to Third at some point...
ViolentDove:
Anyone ever listen to Switchblade Symphony?
They had some good stuff in the vein of downtempo music with sultry vocals.

I really like Between Darkness and Wonder as well.

Archive - Londinium is probably one of my all time favourite albums, and probably one of the least known. Seriously worth checking out.
Also, check out Black Era. Very much the best Creative Commons licensed music I've heard, and certainly a great trip-hop act. Free to download (legally, for as stated, it's licensed under creative commons) from Jamendo: http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/blackera so worth trying.
I strongly support the nominations of Goldfrapp's Felt Mountain and Tricky's Maxinquaye. Again, both are fantastic. Sneaker Pimps - Becoming X is fairly decent too.
Then there is Moloko's I Am Not A Doctor. Perhaps not as downtempo as most trip-hop, but still good, although it trails off towards the second half.
Zero7 is NOT really trip-hop. Granted, it's a broad term to start with, but at least for me it specifically refers to a mix of downtempo electronica with some breakbeat element to the rhythm, which zero7 doesn't really have. Besides, they're not really anything that special; a few decent songs but nothing more than that.
Finally Massive Attack, and Portishead's Dummy, but they go without saying, don't they?
PassiveTheory:
"This World" instantly negates any and all negative commentary on Zero 7. Nuff' said.
