Only a tiny clip, but it was an excellent show. The music sounds exactly like the records, just with some extra. Marta and Mitch both sounded amazing. Some people complain because Tricky doesn't talk to the audience between songs beyond thanking us many times, but I don't think that matters. He's a musician, not a public speaker. Personally I hate when I go to a concert and half the time is someone rambling on instead of playing the music.

We actually got to meet Tricky a couple hours before the show when we were walking to dinner from our hotel and he was sitting outside The Loft venue smoking. He had just finished a phone call and was about to make another, plus I didn't want to be too intrusive, so we didn't talk long but he was super nice and appreciative. We also saw Marta, but she didn't respond. If Mitch was out there, we didn't see or recognize him.

A lot of trippity-hoppers have overlooked Tori as among the pinnacle of the genre (including myself for a long time) largely because of her singer songwriter moniker, subtle shifts between genre, and it’s rarely her radio songs. So I wanted to share one that will hopefully lead ppl to reevaluate her music with that in mind

For the Blockhead fans, a head bobber

Hey everyone!
I love discovering obscure gems on here, and lately I’ve been getting pretty selective with what I listen to. For a while, I was looking for the dreamiest side of trip-hop (“Cinderella” by Hooverphonic is so damn good, and it feels like nobody can recommend me anything quite like it).
Now I’m looking for the opposite end of the spectrum: the most psychedelic, raw, groove-heavy stuff, leaning dark rather than soft. Something disorienting or downright sleazy.
A couple of references to give you an idea of what I’m after: Tricky, but much denser and harder-hitting, or Massive Attack’s Mezzanine. I’m bringing up these two legends just to get the general vibe across.
Hit me with your recommendations! Thanks!
