I just started listening to Underworld and found this song


I learned that Archive took this song and sampled it in their own song Skyscraper. I can't tell which part they sampled specifically. What do you think of it?

I found this little gem recently, it was used in a movie called Memento in 2000. The artist is still making music and even released a remake/remaster of this song in 2014. The later half is really good. The singers have so much emotion in it.

I found this song from The Avalanches, even though they're listed as hip hop, neo-psychedelia, and electronic this song sounds pretty trip hop

Bonobo did a remix for the recent Gorillaz song Andromeda.

You may or may not be open minded to this one but I'll throw it out there. I've probably been listening to it at least two or three times a week for the last month or so at work and in the car.

It's a D-Bridge mix but it's more I think his take on the sort of half-tempo that Ivy Lab, Stray, etc. are doing which is in his particular mood domain (which I love) - some dnb as well but it's so stripped down and minimal that you can barely tell its at normal bpm. He's got a few Alia Fresco tunes on here, he's had those on the Heart Drive podcasts a lot as well (off her recent CNVX release) - the track he has right up front is her doing a revox of a Black Pocket track.

Someone on bandcamp I think made the comment of calling the feel of the rnb in it 'cough bottle love songs' - I had to laugh, it's not a bad description. Really love the synths on the track at 25 minutes, really cold gray-skies stuff. The Goldilox tune around 32 minutes is also pretty mint.

Everything in me knows I should like FKA but I've always felt like something was slack in their production and songwriting. The moods and silences in the beats are good but it's like they're trying to fill for something that's missing. It's like if she gets more hard life under her belt she'll get the fire she needs and the band might blossom but it's not there yet. I'm not looking for her to turn into WEEKND or something but add a little bit of that or even some of Megan James or Purity Ring's authority and it would click. She's beautiful and she's got a voice, the tunes and her vocal leadership I think just need more command.

Loxy, Resound, and Alia with D-Bridge:

I haven't gotten around to listening to Chineseman but that is a good song. Same for Gramatik. Any album recommendations on them?

I'm starting to come around to reggae/ragga trip hop. Got any suggestions?

I don't blame you. FKA is kinda "meh" for me too. How you described it is how I feel too. She does hate that she is labeled alternative RnB so maybe that will get her to try much harder to stand out in her next album.

The Levels sound interesting I'll look more into them.

Speaking of RnB have you ever listened to Elliott Power? He's the latest artist to have been signed to the the Mo'Wax record label and he dropped his first album last year. He was also featured in the Unkle single "Cowboys Or Indians".

I checked out some of his songs and it is pretty good especially the song "Murmur". I love how dark and creepy that song sounds. The music video goes along with it so well, now I feel like only listening to trip hop at night while in a moving vehicle. He is the best combination of Trip Hop and RnB currently in my opinion.




UNKLE did a remix of one of his songs. I haven't heard the original but this remix sounds good.

A guy who used to be on WP who I'm in contact with on Facebook shared some of his stuff. I remembered it not being bad, I'll have to look into it more.

I'm cherry-picking a bit now, ie. the rest of Wasted Days doesn't sound like this but still - heck of a classy tune:

Well here is a corner I wasn't aware of either. I just discovered the artist Leila, and it turns out her full name is Leila Arab and she is the sister of Roya Arab. Leila is a mostly IDM producer but her songs do have some trip hop vibes and her debut album was ranked number 6 on the 50 best trip hop albums of all time by Fact and 39 in Pitchfork's best 50 IDM albums of all time. Leila has collaborated with Bjork, Martina Topley-Bird, Terry Hall and of course her own sister Roya Arab.

Here are the songs from Leila that feature Roya. Those two are incredibly talented, it's shame they didn't form a band together, especially after Roya left Archive but at least Leila has been kinda consistent with releasing albums. It would of been cool if Leila did a collab with Archive or Rosko John.

Thanks! I'd heard of Leila but hadn't really followed up much on her.

i know nothing, i happen to wander into electro-swing and triphop occasionally, i like the sampling of the old stuff, while avoiding listening to the too known-past


cayetano i find sometimes great
