There is nothing trip-hop about this, at least if you're using Massive Attack and Portishead as your basis.

Agreed Choccy. There's been more than one occasion where if asked I would have said Mezz was me best album of all time.



Morcheeba - Big Calm.

The watered down, sales execs trip hop album of choice but tis a good un.

Feeling a 3.5 atm. It'll probably grow on me with repeated listens, but I honestly don't feel like jamming stuff like this all that often.

I wouldn't know much about the influence, but I'm assuming it led to more artists using samples, but correct me if i'm wrong.

I wouldn't say it;s quintessential either. I mean, I'm a huge fan of trip hop, but I really fail to see how this is anything other than an instrumental hip hop album, as brostep pointed out.

@Zak, check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51HveaBvHHQ

It's got trip hop vibes all over it, with some heavy r&b influences too. In fact, everyone should check it out

In terms of tracing it back it's probably Blue Lines, again >

What about The Streets - Blinded By The Lights. ?

That's what I always thought what trip hop was until I actually researched it

blinded by the lights isn't trip-hop at all, it's just a chilled out house groove with rapping



incredible song though

Without knowing anything about this "trip hop" before I explored further, it seemed to fit that description, but yeah, thanks for clearing that up

this is a grower if there ever was one [3]



and how is this not trip hop, it's ethereal and atmospheric and pretty much takes you to another dimension
