Blue Lines
Often credited with inventing trip-hop, a slow, soulful blend of hip-hop, dub and soul that set a template for the decade. Smooth and innovative. A genuine pioneer.
-
2MezzanineMassive AttackClassic
Mezzanine
Dark, paranoid trip-hop that traded the warmth of their early work for dread and dub bass, anchored by 'Teardrop' and 'Angel'. Immersive and cinematic. A late-90s landmark.

3HeligolandMassive AttackClassic
Heligoland
A dark, guest-laden late peak of trip-hop atmosphere. Immersive and acclaimed. A strong record.
