What I listened to today: "Zero", Lamb
Whatever "Trip-Hop" was. Was a tension between pulling ideas out of lounge-y jazz-y genres from the 30s-60s to jam them into electronica, vs pulling ideas out of electronica and jamming them into lounge-y jazz. Which was the real thing? The answer seems to come in tracks like these where the musicians just say screw it and make a song with no electronics. This track's pure voice and violin and the vibes are enormous, it's wonderful

To me it is good when people who make electronic music make a song with all acoustic instruments because it's like you've got these people who are used to thinking very precisely about the way things sound and then they wind up thinking very precisely about the way their acoustic instruments sound
