I know David Lynch and Chrysta have teamed up from time to time - I typically haven't been that into it in the past but I do like this one. It's got a nice subtle flanging throughout and I think they worked the minimalism well.

I have no idea who they are but that song sounds really bizarre but somehow good that it doesn't put me off from it.

David Lynch is a well-known movie and TV show director - Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet, Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive, Eraserhead, etc..

Huh I've heard of Twin Peaks but never watched it. I started looking for more songs from them and this sounds pretty good. Chrysta has a nice voice.

I found another trip hop and drum & bass group named Etro Anime. I'm in love with this band now I think See The Sound is now easily in my top 10 trip hop albums and albums overall. It is a shame they've only had two albums over the years, I checked their social media and they said they're working on a third album but since they last said that was nearly 7 years ago. I'm buying both of their albums on bandcamp in desperate hope they actually release it. It's also disappointing to see the singer of the first album leave and she hasn't seem to have done much afterwards.

The song Danger is fantastic, it was apparently used in the US version of the game Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga as the opening screen song.


Adonis is another great song that stands out a lot on the album. The singer really shows off voice.


Purest One is another highlight


Summer Rain is apparently the most popular out of the album aside from Danger

I haven't listened to DJ Shadow in a while so I decided to look for a song I haven't heard from him. This one sounds pretty chill


I like what Unkle has done with The Road: Part 1 so far. They're very experimental with the electronic oriented songs and it has paid off very well also they have some good choices in featured artist. Even their rock songs kinda give off some trip hop vibes to me although just very faint ones.

an' something from i dont no labels lands

That Pink Floyd song does give off some trip hop vibes to me. I wonder if there is any psychedelic rock from those times that could be considered an ancestor of trip hop.

Anyway I've been listening to Gorillaz debut album a lot lately.

Sound Check (Gravity) sounds badass especially at the 0:39 mark when the tone shifts dramatically and at 3:00 as well, this is one of the few trip hop songs so far that gets me pumped instead of relaxed. I want to jog to this at night.


I really like the style for New Genius I haven't heard anything like, I can't tell if its a harmonica or violin being distorted but it gives off that ethereal feel, same for Man Research. The lyrics are pretty deep too.


I can hardly make out what Damon is saying but it just sounds so ethereal


G-sides album has some pretty good songs, I'm thinking of buying the CD later this year. Left Hand Suzuki method is a good song, the style sounds not too far off from being on Cibo Matto's first album. I can't help but laugh at bong rip in the beginning now that I know what the name of the song really means. It is a shame that besides this song, Faust and 19-2000 they're the only ones Miho Hatori is on while she was with the Gorillaz. I think she was on Tomorrow Comes Today as well since I can hear a faint female voice repeating "Tomorrow, tomorrow comes today" with Damon in the second half of the song. But even then it just shows how underutilized she was when she was with the Gorillaz.


Faust needs to be a longer song, I feel it cuts to short when the singing finally starts. It definitely could fit in with the first Cibo Matto album.

I found another band that mixes trip hop with drum & bass and other electronic music genres.

There's alot of rich experimentation going on in these genres. Hiatus Kaiyote, Kadhja Bonet and Jessy Lanza really interest me at the moment. I ought to mention Holly Herndon and Laurel Halo also!

Dunno if you think neosoul and Dilla-fied UK hip hop is close enough tangent to be under this umbrella? Let me know if I'm stretching the margins here a bit much. Either way gorgeous rhodes.

SnailHail, I am quite fond of Kosheen's debut album 'Resist'. Catch and Hide U were pretty big hits when I was in secondary school, so there's a lot of good memories there.

Are you excited about the upcoming Tokimonsta album 'Lune Rouge'? She started releasing some of the tracks in advance on her Youtube and Soundcloud accounts. I also recently heard that she was struggling with moyamoya disease, which can affect the brain due to certain blood vessels constricting. Last year she underwent surgery for it, which had the side effect of her temporarily losing the ability to comprehend both language and, perhaps more importantly, music. She managed to recover, but it must have been a truly terrifying experience. It's incurable and she must continue to undergo treatment and examinations.

Here's a track from the upcoming album, featuring Malaysian singer Yuna:

I haven't followed Tokimonsta in a while this news is very shocking for me I hope the disease doesn't get too bad and she does not have to get another brain surgery soon. I like that song though, Yuna sounds good. I'll go check out the rest of her songs in the upcoming album. I wonder if her losing her musical and language abilities going to allowed her to rediscover and discover new things.



You're fine neo soul and Dilla style music is okay as long as it sounds like it is somewhere on the trip hop spectrum and that song definitely does. Speaking of J Dilla I remember when I discovered Crustation a couple of people were saying that they discovered Crustation through a song J Dilla remixed which was the song "Purple". I don't like it as much as the original but it is still good and I like how much more clearly I can hear Bronagh Slevin's voice which makes it more calm and mellow of the overall song. Mac Miller also sampled the song but I'm not feeling it.






I love Hiatus Kaiyote! I've mainly been listening to neosoul because of some of the trip hop vibes some songs have but Hiatus Kaiyote were able to pull me in without that. Have you ever listened to any Thundercat songs? Kadhja and Jessy sound great, I'll listen to more of them when I get the chance and I'm loving the Kadhja's song "Honey Comb".

It has been a year now since this thread was made, over the year has this thread helped anyone discover or rekindle their love for trip hop and the many songs and artist among the genre.

For me I'm glad, this thread motivated me to find new artist and songs which lead to discoveries I never thought of like the combination of drum n bass and trip hop or the many artist with their own unique styles and sounds. Not to mention other genres with similar sounds. My overall music library has significantly expanded and now I have more songs to listen to to keep me from being burnt out on the ones I already know. I've been almost listening exclusively to this genre now that other genres are starting to sound "meh" or completely fresh to me.

I haven't listned to much of Emancipator but I'm digging "13 Father King" and "Lionheart".

Discovered Amon Tobin and I checked out his first album Bricolage he is a pretty good Drum & Bass/Trip Hop artist. I'm surprised no one listed him before he seems prominent.
