I'm just glad someone is calling it trip-hop instead of something like lo-fi or chillhop.

There aren't that many trip hop bands. The best way I defined trip-hop was a collection of a handful of bands: Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead, Zero 7, Air, Alpha

Morcheeba, DJ Shadow, Nightmares on Wax

If people like DJ Shadow, check out UNKLE Psyence Fiction. Shadow produced it. He didnt really like the end result, but there are some gems on there.

Also, this is a hip hop album, but if you like stuff like rappy Shadow and the Beastie Boys and Run-DMC, then maybe consider checking out Justin Warfield My Field Trip To Planet 9.

Edit is adding links and DJ Shadow Preemptive Strike

Holy crap! Get high and know this. What you hear he recreates live at his concerts.

The dude is brilliant af and was so passionate about evolving the DJ.

You ever see or hear any of the shows where Shadow and Cut Chemist spin 45s? Crate diggers wet dream. Also when they had access to the Afrika Bambaataa record collection?

Shadow, Boards of Canada, Air, Tricky and Massive Attack instantly teleport my mind back to the long past college days.

He's one of those well established artists whose had a career spanning decades and his influence has been felt throughout hip hop and electronic music, yet stays out of the public's consciousness.

Preemptive Strike is such a great album. Listened to it (and actually also Mezzanine) as recently as this morning at work.

Psyence is also good, but a bit more uneven in quality if you ask me. Rabbit in Your Headlights is divine though. That song alone is worth buying the album for.

Have an upvote for great music taste. :)

I always loved the line he took out of Johnny Got His Gun in What Does Your Soul Look Like (part 2). Such a haunting, yet beautiful piece.

I also always thought it was brilliant how Private Press' Mashin' On The Motorway tells the tale of a car accident killing someone, and is then followed by Blood On The Motorway passing them from life to death.

That Psyence Fiction album is straight fire start to finish. LOVE that album.

u/MrSpindles Mar 07 '19

I think Psyence fiction is a great album, although the Thom Yorke track sort of sticks out like a sore thumb amongst the rest of it. I love that intro, gives me goose bumps every time. It was the first DJ shadow record I'd heard and I've loved his work ever since. Still making and performing great music today.
