Can anyone recommend me some trip-hop?
amok:
Oh yeah Trifonic is a must, Thievery Corp probably less relevant genre-wise but still absolutely outstanding.
Had a poke around the top artists that last.fm keeps recommending me based on trip-hop and the Zhong Chi 'Easy World' album is outstanding too, might upload it.
Inlander:
See if you can find a copy of Tricky's follow-up to Maxinquaye, which was called Nearly God. It was a bunch of collaborations with various singers and was released not under Tricky's name but under the name Nearly God, as in, "this is the self-title album by Nearly God". The single was the outstanding "Poems", featuring Terry Hall from the Specials: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyhngPAzTYw.
Also worth seeking out (if it's still in print) is No Protection, which is the Mad Professor's remix of Massive Attack's second album Protection.
The extra letter:
Holy crap, Tricky is awesome.
Inlander:
He was awesome.
Fact is even Maxinquaye, which is far and away his best album, peters out at the end and kind of drags for the last fifteen minutes or so. But the first half to three-quarters of the album is incredible.
BeoPuppy:
I liked Pre-Millenium Tension even better than Maxinquaye. But hey, that's me. Just don't write the fellow off too soon.
