Description: Trip - hop described some of the 1990s best music and it was one of the decade's most revealing bad ideas. This book chronicles the music and its leading artists packed with recommended listening essential tracks great remixes and under - recognized albums. Your playlists will soon be overflowing. - Spectrum Culture The music itself was an intoxication of beats bass and voice. It emerged amid the social tensions of the late 1980s and as part of hip - hop's rise to global dominance. It carried the innovations of Jamaican soundsystem culture the sweet refuge of Lovers Rock the bliss of club jazz dancefloors and post - rave chill - out rooms. It went mainstream with Massive Attack Portishead Tricky DJ Shadow Kruder & Dorfmeister and Bj rk; and with record labels like Ninja Tune and Mo Wax. To the artists despair the music was tagged with a silly label and packaged as music for the boutique and the lounge; made respectable with awards and acclaim. But the music at its best still sounds experimental and dramatic; and its influence lingers through artists like FK a twigs Sevdaliza James Blake Billie Eilish and Lana Del Rey. This short book is a guide to trip - hop in its context of the weird 1990s: nostalgia and consumerism; pre - millenium angst and lo - fi technology; casual exoticism amid accelerating globalization and gentrification.
