Trip-Hop Hooray!
I have been a big fan of Trip-Hop for many years now and I thought it was high time I searched online for any groups I have previously overlooked…
After donning my investigation slippers and trawling through You Tube, I came up with several bands worth a mention. How I actually hadn’t heard anything by some of these is a little bit embarrassing. I have a tendency to find a really good album by a certain group and then proceed to play it to death. This is all well and good, but you can miss out on a lot of other equally good music in the meantime. The last time this happened was with ‘Third’ by Portishead; and I fear it may now be occurring again… I have just got my mitts on ‘Heligoland’ by Massive Attack you see…
Hybrid are well worth checking out; especially if you enjoy trippy choons. ‘Wider Angle’ is a very good album with tracks that range from Ambient, through Trance and out into a Down Tempo blend of Trip-Hop.
Another interesting group is Boards of Canada. These guys are really weird. If everyone had a listen to ‘Music has the Right to Children’ then no-one would ever feel a need to take drugs. I’ve heard loads of stuff by similar bands, but this is one of the strangest albums I have come across… ever.
And if that is not enough for you to check out, then have a listen to Alphawezen. Their ‘Comme Vous Voulez’ is a marvelous piece of work. I’d put it right up there with the likes of Portishead, Air, Massive Attack or Morcheeba.
One more band who are well worth a nosey are, Glideascope. I don’t know if I like all the tracks on any of their albums, but they have recorded quite a few really good songs.
I just found this great company who agreed to give us a deal on the Packaging Solutions for the band. Check out the portfolio and let me know what you all think about their previous work.
