Best of Trip-Hop

The soul of trip-hop lies between the slow-brewing funk and whispered beat poetry of Massive Attack, and the devastating torch songs and dazed breakbeats of Portishead. It's a bass-heavy sound, downtempo and soulful with a psychedelic sense of imagination, whether in the scratch fantasy of DJ Shadow's “In Flux”, the sly funk of Moloko's “Fun For Me” or the murky tribalism of Tricky's “Overcome”.
