Still have the album Mezzanine from the band Massive Attack lying somewhere around.

Wow! I feel considerably out of the loop, as I had been a big fan of Mezzanine, but I'd never heard anything else like it.

Once I feel safe listening to music again, I'll need to investigate this genre a bit further.

Here's some chill-out electronic songs soon someone brought up trip-hop (although these aren't trip-hop, but zero 7 has some on that genre though):

There's tons of material on Trip Hop. Enough to make a separate thread on this whole subject. It seems so fringe as it was pretty popular in the 90s + mostly in a few countries like Great Britain, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Yet there are still bands active that are/were widely popular but most people do not even consider that they are basically Trip Hop, like Hooverphonic, Garbage and Gorillaz.

Trip Hop is very difficult to categorise, as it is basically a cross-over of hip hop, funk, dance, alternative rock and synth pop. Zero 7's In the waiting line is a good example, as it is pretty down tempo as almost any other trip hop song. A nice song though, just like the one from Air. I'll certainly add them to my Spotify playlist.

Here are some of my favourites:

Moloko - Fun for me HD


Massive Attack - Paradise Circus


White Town - Your Woman (Official HD Video)


Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc.


Hooverphonic - Badaboum


Portishead - Glory Box

Favourite song from a great band back in the day...



@Orions Pain I'm sure you know this one

Rediscovered this banger from Gran Turismo 3, which had a lot of great Feeder songs.

Bones In The Ocean - The Longest Johns. Be careful, this one may make you shed tears. The best songs do.

Trip hop is awesome. One of the few best exports from Great Britain Still have the album Mezzanine from the band Massive Attack lying somewhere around.

BTW @Tanni, is Trip Hop still a thing in Bristol's night scene?

For some reason I've only just seen this comment, sorry @Christiaan!

I wouldn't really know about Trip Hop I'm afraid, I'm more of a pop music kinda gal. The nightclubs I used to go to played Rihanna and Kanye West .

But all the best music comes from the UK, of course .

No probs @Tanni.

It's good to hear that Bristol has a lot to offer. I only know Bristol for its port, two football clubs and Trip Hop scene, but does Bristol also have famous pop bands?

I would say that the best music from the UK comes from Cornwall I have just watched Fisherman's Friends and it's one hell of a tear jerker, very true to its name:

The Fisherman's Friends - Keep Hauling

Pink Floyd - "Comfortably Numb" - an epic masterpiece



There is no pain you are receding.
A distant ship smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I've got that feeling once again.
I can't explain you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.


...and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" - a song written and dedicated to Syd
Barrett who left Pink Floyd in '68 due to drug use and mental illness, which in the end drove him utterly insane...

I discovered this band in a videogame (Death Stranding). Not my "usual" style of music but I kinda love it anyway.

Bit different from what's being posted but I am a massive electronic music nut - Progressive House especially.

This guy is my favourite. Bit of a cheat post as its more of a set rather than one song.
