Stop making sense, Angel. I don't see these artists as the same, though. Massive Attack is what I call "trip pop". I just came up with that genre. It's when they vomit all over the beat with some pop/r&b vocals. DJ Krush learned from that on his first album, and then put out Strictly Turntablized with none of that on it, thankfully.

valerius doesn't like vocal tracks. therefore vocal tracks suck. therefore anything with vocal tracks ruins the beat. therefore massive attack sucks and dj krush is awesome cause dj krush knows all about how to not have a vocal track. harrowing collaborations between some of the most conflicted and emotional poets of our time and the most engulfing beats to accompany them is clearly ruined because of the vocalists. whoever wound up introducing singing and vocal elements to hypnotic instrumentation definitely ruined the genre. thanks valerius for showing me the light

Dj Shadow - Endtroducing, DJ Krush - Strictly Turbtablized, Amon Tobin - Permutation, DJ Spooky - Songs of a Dead Dreamer, and Blockhead - Music by Cavelight all own this Massive Attack and Portishead stuff to me. And I've just started to scratch the surface of this type of stuff. But whatever floats your boat.

not understanding the appeal of the vocal tracks on here (not liking is surprising enough) confuses me quite a bit. i mean, i guess, there are pop-like r&b vocals here occasionally but for the most part they're very uniquely arranged and bring out a completely new style. not to mention tricky and 3d are basically rapping whenever they're the ones singing
|

I understand the appeal. It's good music. But as far as "tripping" and "wigging out" with music, I find pure instrumental hip hop/trip hop/electronic is better. That way my mind is free to conjure what it wishes with the beat. Instrumental is more open.

WTF dude and I thought you had good taste.
And if you can call the vocals from Mezzanine poppish (apart from perhaps Liz Fraser's vocals MAYBE, and they're still high quality) then you've obviously never heard pop OR rnb.
