amazing Trip Hop
I'm relatively new to Trip Hop, here my little story how i came to Trip Hop.
Being a music lover for more than 20 years I normally hear a lot of rock stuff, progressive, jazz, fusion. So I guess I'm not the regular Trip Hop listener. I don't like, or hate even most commercial stuff, rap, hip hop, don't care for dance either.
What happened to me was that i got this Zero 7 album (Simple Things) a few years ago by coincidence, liked it but didn't pay too much attention to it. Now recently I saw that new Zero 7 album "When it falls" and tried it, well i fell immediately in love with the tunes l"Home", "Somersault" and "When it falls". This is supercool stuff. Love that keyboard.
Ok, so I checked "Simple Things" again and found that I neglected this album because it has similar outstanding songs like "I have seen", "Destiny" and "Give it away"
At that time I didn't even know what Trip Hop is hehe.
In the last weeks I have been exploring this personally overlooked genre forth and back and found a lot of great music.
Here a few of my favourites, some recommendations would be appreciated.
Truly stellar are for me:
Zero 7 - Simple things & When it falls
Fila Brazillia - Power clown (Killer album, wondering why nobody is mentioning it here, too jazzy?)
Further good stuff for me: Air, Morcheeba, Massive Attack, Hooverphonic
