Pretty dope trip-hop album. One of the essentials of the genre.

One of the best trip hop albums I've heard. I actually think trip hop is a brilliant genre as it's one of the few where a prominent female voice makes it remarkably enjoyable rather than make it irksome to listen to.

EDIT: for those who want trip hop recommendations, I do have a chart solely for that genre.

That trip hop label will always puzzle me. Anyway, this is one of the very few albums labeled this way to stand the test of time. Great record, dense and sexy. When you listen to this, you get the feeling that every second of it is an important statement. Fantastic.

And yes that PE cover is one of the best covers ever.

Solidly entrenched in my overall. Forever.

Echo any and all love that "Black Steel." Hypnotic shit.

If there is a better trip-hop album out there, please let me know. 'Cause I haven't heard it.
