Laika - Sounds of the Satellites (1997, U.K.) Trip Hop


This is one of those albums that came completely out of nowhere for me, I didn't know what trip-hop was and still don't really, all I know is this album came into my possession somehow and that it's amazing. Some of the deepest thickest electronic chillout textures I've heard are on this record, turns out one of the members is a shoegaze producer that worked on Loveless so you can see where the layering ideals are coming from. In between the warm blanket of layers lie sexy female vocals and even sexier beats and now I'm totally sold on this entire genre.

I don't know why this band didn't break the mainstream, this is some serious next level shit.
