Essential Trip-Hop albums (hip-hop, psychedelic, rock, genre, Massive Attack)

The last two Talk Talk albums, Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock, are often cited as precursors to trip-hop, especially the latter.

Also try early No-man, eg the album Flowermouth.

As someone else said, I don't think trip-hop borrows much from hip-hop, which confused me in the beginning because with that name you would expect it to.

Some trip-hop artists might be influenced by Talk Talk, but I can assure you they are in no way precursors to the genre.

Trip-hop is heavily influenced by hip-hop, since it relies on similar electronic/sampled, usually darker, more minimalistic and slower beats.
