Trip-Hop

[General Zaroff]

Well, I was recommended Portishead's S/T and I'm loving it.

Anyone else like stuff similar?

 

[no country for old wainds]

portishead's s/t is easily the best trip-hop album as far as i'm aware, but the obvious recommendations i can give you are the other two portishead albums and massive attack's 'mezzanine'

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I'd like something that sounds like Massive Attack but without the soul influence. Would Portishead fit this description?

 

[no country for old wainds]

definitely try the s/t, it certainly doesn't have as much of an rnb feel as massive attack. there is a bit of jazz/soul/whatever influence there but it's twisted into something so sinister it's barely recognisable

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Please don't group jazz and soul together, they are widely different genres and soul is probably the only genre I know of that I absolutely can't stand.

 

[no country for old wainds]

just get the portishead self-titled

 

[panzerfaust666]

you cant stand soul? Like what soul groups? I think its great personally, tbh.

 

[challenge_everything]

To the OP - try Tricky - Maxinquaye. Still not as good as Portishead though.

 

[no country for old wainds]

yeah tricky's prob the most major artist after the two already mentioned, i can't remember if i've heard any though

DJ Shadow has some good trip-hop stuff. The new Portishead is amazing as well from what I've heard, so get that too.

Third is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo darkkkkkkkkkk.

All of Portishead's stuff is awesome. Dummy is a classic. Their Live at Roseland NYC dvd is fucking amazing as well:

[Acidraptor natas]

Isn't Enigma trip-hop??? Or just New Age??? Some do label it trip-hop though...

 

[Seditious]

The works of Buck 65 2002-5 are great.
Sorta Tom Waits style Hip-Hop, which some trip-hop fans would like. (get This Right Here Is Buck 65, and if you like that, Secret House Against the World, and Talkin' Honky Blues).

PM me if you wanna hear a few clips.

Try Morcheeba. Pick up either Who Can You Trust? or Big Calm.
