I love electro and that's primarily what I blog about, but my first true love is Trip-Hop. I recently noticed how many of my favorite albums actually came out in 1998. That year was my personal favorite year for trip-hop (in terms of album releases), with the previous year coming very close (with big favorites like Portishead's ST and Björk's Telegram and Vespertine). By 1998 Trip-Hop had a solid foundation and these artists were able to take it in their own, new direction; even artists who weren't considered trip-hop artists were influenced by it's enticing beats and melancholy nature (Tori Amos, The Cardigans). I also like the general style of production at that time. Here are a list of my favorite albums released in '98:
1) Portishead (Live NYC) - Portishead
2) Baxter (ST) - Baxter
3) Blue Wonder Power Milk - Hooverphonic
4) People Are Strange - Stina Nordenstam
5) Empathy - Mandalay
6) From the Choirgirl Hotel - Tori Amos
7) Breath From Another - Esthero
8) Gran Turismo -The Cardigans
9) Formica Blues - Mono
10) Parts of the Process - Morcheeba
11) Mezzanine - Massive Attack
