    Ok guys. Serious AF. The WHOLE Live in NYC album with an orchestra is fire beyond fire. One of the few live albums that are as close to perfect as one could get. I promise you won’t be disappointed. The live version of Roads would be a good start!! And this song is super fire on that album too.

      Mysterons (perfect blend of guitar, samples, scratching, and Beth's voice), Biscuit (darker vibe but great groove), Sour Times (another accessible single), Roads (essentially a ballad over a sick laidback hiphop beat) and Wandering Star (driving yet still subdued, easy to vibe to) are all strong recommendations from the 1st album. Humming (ridiculous groove after the string intro), All Mine (another big single, big band meets hip hop), and maybe Seven Months (more aggressive vocals but strong chorus with a sick beat and fun stop/start dynamics in the verses) would be good from the 2nd album. The 3rd album is not as easy to get into (though I love it) but Machine Gun is probably the best bet.

    I have a playlist on Spotify that I created myself that’s 12 hours of trip hop. All classics: Portishead, Massive Attack, Morcheeba, Björk, Zero 7, Tricky, DJ Shadow, Hooverphonic, Air, etc. Reactions are my favourite YT content. For me, there’s nothing like when a new song moves through me and I FEEL it for the first time ever. One of my absolute favourite genres and I love your reaction so much.

    When most people think of rap and hip-hop today, they think gangsta, but haven't heard De La Soul's album - 3 Feet High Rising. Now that's some story-telling. 🎶Three is a magic number🎵 I just realized that this album is 35 years old next April...

    This and your Massive Attack reaction are such a joy. This music is so timeless. Neither group cares for the trip hop name (something magazines came up with) since it’s just pure music in both cases. Keep digging into these bands, they’re both the best.
    Managed to see Portishead live three times, twice in the 90s when they toured their incredible second album and once more in 2014 at a music festival in Iceland.

    This song takes me back so hard. My dad died unexpectedly in early 1994 and I can still feel the deep, dark places this took me. I was so lost for a long time and somehow needed the music from this era to take me down before I could climb back up.

    This is one of those genius albums. Every song is amazing. My personal favourite probably Wandering Star, but you have to listen to them all! Portishead are also one of those bands who have massive cross over appeal, and I know at least in the UK a lot of punk and metal fans are into them. Even though the sound is super smooth and chill, it also has that raw energy you find in punk and metal. Thanks for another great reaction 🖤🖤

  • @ghefley

    Ultimate coding and writing fiction scene music. Love these groups. I've always felt that their art was in narrowing down the affect to a particular set or singular emotion -- and then composing that into a song that operates something like an objective correlative for that affect.

    Sick reaction! I've never really thought of this band as being strictly "trip hop." I'd strongly recommend Morcheeba for the music that is similar to what you just heard but with more hip hop influence. Their song Big Calm has the musical style with hip hop style barz. Their song Ten Men is a masterclass in vocal range IMHO. I think Morcheeba must be a part of any budding trip hop aficionado's library.
