Pros: Three good songs, lots of promise... Cons: Too repetitive, lacks purpose...
During the mid-1990’s a new crop of bands appeared on the music scene. These bands, often hailing from Britain, were a blend of hip-hop, pop, and electronica and came to be known widely by the term “trip-hop.” Leading the pack were acts...
Pros: trippy, subtle, soothing yet hypnotic music in the electronica catagory. Cons: none.
