Massive Attack: Mezzanine
1998
Massive Attack is the defining band for the triphop genre and although their classic record is their debut  'Blue Lines', we think that their best work until this day is 'Mezzanine'. Many things happened with the band during the preparation and recording of it, which is perhaps the reason for its very complex aesthetics. This album marked more live instruments and vocals, with less samples and synthesizers, but maintaining MA's deep soundscape. The sound itself is just perfect: this record is often used to test high-end audio equipment.

Portishead: Dummy
1994
Portishead's first release immediately propulsed them to a legendary status. No wonder: there are no words to describe 'Dummy'. Lead singer Beth Gibbons' ethearal and unmatched vocal capabilities are accompanied by instrumentation which could be called as "haunting". Although the soundscape is very dark, the songs are beautiful and enchanting. A masterpiece full of contrast and extremes.

Tricky: Maxinquaye
1994

Former Massive Attack member Tricky's first work 'Maxinquaye' is an intriging flow of grooves and singer Martina Topley Bird's shy vocals. It's well known, that MA's famous Karmacoma took its lyrics from this album's first track, 'Overcome' - but it's the only connection to it. Tricky also shares Isaac Hayes' groove sample with Portishead's hit single 'Glory Box'. Tricky is more audacious than other triphop bands, less pompous, but not less: Maxinquaye is one of the most important peaks in modern music.

Morcheeba: Who Can You Trust?
1996

Morcheeba countinuously re-oriented themselves towards pop and smoother lounge music - nevertheless 'Who Can You Trust?' is purely a triphop album. Although then lead-singer Skye Edwards is very low-key on this record, the songs sit perfectly and it is one of the very rare albums which is perfect from the beginning to the end and no songs are fillers.

More albums will be added continuously.
