Trip-hop is part of downtempo, rooted in Hip-hop and very closely linked to it.
To me, a perfect example of modern Trip-hop would be something like "Divine Sounds" by Rae & Christian. It's incredibly close to Hip-hop, even without vocals.
Personally, I think Amon Tobin is a bit too experimental to put in the same category.

But... that music is dead. Slowly but surely fading away because modern production just keeps getting worse.
James Lavelle, an icon of the underground side of the genre, moved on to club-friendly electronica... nu skool breaks and a bit of tech-house.

Man... the days of Massive, Smith & Mighty, and that crew are gone... people aren't looking for that Trip-hop depression anymore, they just want to dance.
And that's what Meat Katie, Dylan Rhymes, Elite Force, Plump DJs, Drummatic Twins, and the rest are dealing with now...

well... I can still dance to Massive quite well... best of all😉
and Tobin... he’s got those atmospheric tracks...

cosmicjackal33 said:Hey, like Jimmy..

Look, we all know which track is basically the anthem for trip-hop—High Noon.
It’s got that slightly faster trip-hop groove.
But that was ages ago... way, way back...

Out of that old-school trip-hop and hip-hop guard, only Herbaliser stayed true to themselves.
The rest? They changed...

Oh yeah, High Noon from the Ninja Tune compilation...

it isn't "the mammoth is" but "the mammoths are."

the live version is just one mammoth😉

Uncle used to work in that trip-hop circle, though he leaned more toward the dance scene.

Trip-hop is basically just a blend of hip-hop, soul, and that 80s alternative psychedelia. Maybe some dub thrown in there, but not always.
That’s why 🙏 Massive and those blue stripes...
So, you've got Massive up to the mezzanine, that tricky first album, Morcheeba for when you want to chill, and Red Snapper for the heavier psychedelic stuff.

Everything else mentioned either doesn't really count as trip-hop or is just commercial fluff that mostly missed the mark. ☕

Jason Chavez32 said:you guys are acting like cavemen... 🙄

listen to Howie B, Nightmares on Wax, Amon Tobin, Baby Mammoth... though I'll say it again, the actual architects of trip hop were U.N.K.L.E., basically the Mo'Wax label.

And what kind of Morcheeba nonsense is that? Get outta here. If one more person calls Morcheeba trip hop, I might actually lose it. 🙂

I've listened to them all on CD and live, and they have zero connection to trip hop, except maybe Howie B.

Nightmares and Tobin are in a different league entirely, and Mammoth is just downbeat...
for true trip hop you need something a bit more... 😉
like U.N.K.L.E., but I don't even need to go there.

Morcheeba is just pure hippie trip hop. 👍

someone gave you kids the wrong info.

sneaker what? 🤣

It’s not strictly trip hop, just a bit of an evolution of the genre and those breakbeats... solid album, though. A newer sound from Coldplay, a little more mellow, a little brighter.

Red Snapper really hits different at night. They had that massive hit, image of you, which turned out to be a pretty solid remix...

Red Snapper. They’ve got killer vocals (an M.C. who wasn't really feeling the vibe 😁) and Josh's bass is just better

The Idiots were killer!!

Gotta admit, Elemental was pretty decent too...
Head's spinning from all this beer, I'm out...

New York City rules 🙂, I'm never leaving, I swear to Mother Teresa 😍

Hit me up on the politics thread for NYC 😁 that's where we really talk about this stuff.
So how was Noro? 😁 It's been 10 years of them trying to organize something and nothing ever happens... 🤣
You guys are cheap.

True enough. You head over to Central Park or Brooklyn and you can spread the word wherever you want! 🙂

Yeah, plus it’s more interesting for wandering around. Up and down... 😉

That massive body of water you guys are talking about isn't even bad.

😁 Mosquitoes are usually less of an issue at home since there isn't much standing water 😁
Basically the foothills around Mount Rainier... if you head into the woods or the brush, you'll run into a few. They've been especially bad this summer!

Look, just make sure you keep everything well-lubricated.
There are those specialty rust-preventative sprays... you should probably use them every once in a while. I rode my bike through the snow this winter without lubing it for ages, and after a bit, it sounded like I was dragging a heavy iron plow down the street. Thought I’d have to replace the chain entirely, but the spray saved me.

A little rain won't kill it, but you should wipe down the parts that are most prone to rusting—the ones that aren't heavily lubricated or painted.
Leaving it out in the rain for too long is bad news.

lonebison37 said:I remember it... some old letter or something 🙂
but anyway, analogharbor442, just try finding that MP3 of Josip Broz Tito's speeches.

So now you're all about being a Pioneer fan! 😁

Alex Scott22 said:Haha, so you're actually interested in slang 😁

No, I'm genuinely curious how they actually managed to save Titi...

Alex Scott22 said:Just shifting from one foot to the other.

Motivation + bourbon

If they hadn't made it in time, we would've ended up with the EU back in 1953.
Or the Soviet RH ministry 🤔

Hmm... either way, the Yugoslav bands from the 60s would've been way more interesting.

Full combat readiness? And how did they even operate then?

Alex Scott22 said:🤣

Haha... not that one...

Basically... they're talking about the division that ran 11 miles uphill and saved the second Titi in Drury back in 1944. 🙂

really? how's that possible?

David Sullivan4 said:I remember seeing a guy at a radical book fair selling vinyls with old revolutionary anthems... maybe 14 tracks total... stuff like "The Green Grass Grows" or "Through the Valleys"... grab one if you can find it somewhere.

I sing those myself. Usually while hiking.

I was thinking about the one who pulled that stunt with the pipeline pipes out in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest.
