I used to think that Trip Hop was defined by the "U.S. Homegrown - Total Trip Hop" series on Moonshine. You know bands like "The Crystal Method" amd "Fluke" but I was later corrected and told that Moonshine was wrong, and that this was called "Big Beats" (Which over the past 3 years he was proven correcrt. Big Beats has become a definite category of electronica) - and a damn good one at that! So when I was corrected, I was told that the definitive "Trip Hop" CD was ISDN by the Future Sound of London. So I bought it. Sounds like fragmented ambience to me, but what do I know. Here in NYC, it seems that "Trip Hop" is the catch phrase used by casual clubgoers that don't really listen to underground music and use it to sound hip. So what is it anyway, and do we care here at the idm list? ------------------------Izzo cares......
