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

jah wobble and natacha atlas, what's that?

I like electro-swing too. Some really interesting songs you got there. Got any else? What do you mean by "too known-past"?
This is the only Parov Stelar downtempo song I've listened to so far.

Been digging this album a lot lately, some amazing trip-hop/electronic/rock/psychedelic/? stuff from my country.

Good shares guys, that's some really obscure stuff I probably never would of found, I like ethnic touches to the songs.

Anyway I discovered an ambient trip hop band named Arms And Sleepers and they released a new album named Life Is Everywhere earlier this year in January. Pan Am is easily my favorite song out of the album I just love how they use chimes in this.

Tei Shi's sharpening up.

Heck, I'd almost say she's getting her Martina on:

Oh snap, Sevdaliza has a new album? I'm know what I'm gonna do for the next hour

Tei Shi does kinda sound like Martina, Tricky should try to get her featured in some songs if Martina never comes back.

I've been thinking about buying the CD for the Earthling album Humandust. I learned that this album was suppose to release in 1997 but their record label denied them because "It was too dark". I can't find it on their bandcamp or itunes and you can't find 6 of the 11 songs on the internet. It's shame I can't support the band for this album but I feel a bit uneasy about buying a CD off of discography, I'd hate to possibly ruin a mint/good condition CD despite how cheap it is. But I really want to hear the other 6 songs since some of them are considered the best of the album by others and I could rip the songs off the CD and upload them on the internet for everyone else who has never heard them and can't get the CD.

This album does sound a lot more dark than their others especially Haunted Head, that woman moaning in the background just gives it another level of creepiness. Humandust comes close with the wolf howling.

I went to a Portishead show years ago when they released their Third album. One of the best live shows I've seen.

Something that was thrown in on that D-Bridge set that I posted earlier (a few bpm faster though in the mix).
