Shadow hasn't owned the rights to any new Ninja Tune releases from the last 2 1/2 years. Although they still own the rights to some of our records, we are no longer associated with them , despite what there inclusion of numerous tracks from our back catalog on their various comps might suggest. As for Trip-Hop...name invented by journalist, but if pressed I would reckon that the main people that laid the seeds of what came to be various forms of 'trip-hop' would be Grandmaster Flash, Double D & Steinski, Coldcut/DJ Food, Depth Charge, 9 Lazy 9, DJ Shadow, DJ Krush, Massive Attack, Bomb The Bass, MARRS, and any other cut & paste/heavy sample based producers from late 80's/early 90's. I also figure that, more so than others, ourselves and Mo Wax probably put out the most records that were considered 'trip-hop' back in the day. But alas we all move on into more variations of genre defined silly ness. Jeff
