I did kind of enjoy the first single from the Zero 7 Album. I wasn't a Zero 7 fan to begin with, but it was alright. I agree about the rest of the album. It could just as easily not have existed for all I care.

yes, the first cd was quite good actually, it just seems that people rarely can make a good follow up, well, referring to trip hop

DJ Shadow's U.N.K.L.E. project.

actually not his project Steve, mostly James Lavelle's because Shadow doesn't have anything to do with the last recording, does he?

wow, i am unfamilier with the new release, but you're right. it's James Levelle's project now. how long did Shadow stick with the project?

is that Booth in your avatar? and I think Shadow was only a part of the Psyence Fiction album, the one's preceding and afterwards had nothing to do with him.

i see. yeah, that's Booth.

I have Massive Attack's 100th Window, and for the most part, its pretty boring imo. The only song on it that I really like is A Prayer for England.

I guess its just because I'm used to NIN, Razed in Black, KMFDM, The Newlydeads, and such. Hell, most of Aphex Twin's 26 Mixes For Cash was a little weak for me, and I've heard that that is their more hardcore tracks.

A friend recommended Aesop Rock's Bozooka Tooth, saying that they are Trip Hop. Are they any good? Are they even Trip Hop?

aesop rock is NOT trip hop. More like Hip hop and rap with an edge. (probably not the best explanation, but better than trip hop)
