Not to be a pain in the arse, but can Jackhammer or somebody who knows what they're talking about lay down a definitive list...?
I'm familiar with the obvious Bristol stuff but know nothing beyond that

This is one of the greatest trip-hop/electronica albums I've ever heard:

Morning Dove White by One Dove

Also, this is a pretty cool album:

Becoming X by Sneaker Pimps

Endtroducing really doesn't do it for me. I'm just not astounded by it.

it's mediocre, coffee-table hip hop, to me. I've never been anything but bored stiff by that album. He obviously has a talent for splicing up dusty old vinyl and **** but I never understood why people were so blown away by that one

I love it because it has some of the coolest sampling i've heard, he literally chops and pastes everything up, its amazing that all he used was a drum machine over it. The songs are incredible too, i'm always in the mood for Number Song and Mutual Slump, while Midnight In a Perfect World is just brilliant.

Coldcut - Sound Mirrors
Zero 7 - When It Falls (Is it Trip Hop)
Super Collider - Head On
Any Four Tet or Jamie Lidel

Enjoy!

I really like Thievery Corporation, I think some of their stuff could be called trip-hop, try the album "The Richest man in Babylon" or their "DJ Kicks" album

Check out Laika.It`s a female singer(Margaret Fiedler) with a producer(Guy Fixsen)doing jazzy electronica/trip hop.One critic called them 'techno torch'.They did`nt get the attenton they deserved.The albums Silver Apples Of The Moon and Sound Of The Satellites are good introductions.

DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
DJ Shadow - Live in tune and on time
