	Trip hop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Trip hop (also known as the Bristol sound) is a term coined by United Kingdom dance magazine Mixmag, to describe a musical trend in the mid-1990s; trip hop is downtempo electronic music that grew out of England's hip hop and house scenes.
		Bristol Hip-Hop (Trip-Hop's predecessor) is characterized by the emphasis on slow and heavy drum beats, the sampling of old records, and the elimination of all rap elements that exist in American Hip-Hop.
		It is characterised by a slow, spaced-out hip-hop sound that a number of artists in the early and mid 1990s made synonymous with the city.

	Observer \| New bands sound the beat
		For Bristolians, the praise dished out to Massive's Blue Lines or Portishead's Dummy was the sound of the rest of the world catching up with a mix of dub, hip hop and general strangeness that had been part of the city's musical make-up for a decade.
		One catalyst for this activity was Ladyfest Bristol in 2003.
		'Bristol was important to the festival in its early days: a lot of people from here were involved in it at a time when it was hard to get the support of agents.

		I had high expectations at this year's Bristol Sound and Vision show of spotting some brand new DAB digital radio products, but apart from Videologic's sterling effort with a whole host of radios you could buy there and then, things seemed very quiet from other manufacturers.
		It sounds just as confident as its bigger brother and is remarkably cute, wowing the crowd with its bright blue display and novel blue LEDs.
		Sound and Vision 2002 was a good show, although this year Digital One dispensed with their stand to attend with Videologic.

		Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky and Roni Size have a collective reputation that is unsurpassed in recent decades by groups from any other UK city.
		Distinguished artists as the pianist Alfred Brendel book it for recordings because of its peerless 18th century acoustics and it is often used for Radio 3 concerts.
		Called ‘Remix’ and based at the Colston Hall, soon to be redeveloped as a world-class music venue, it involves a partnership including Kuumba, Basement Studios and Bristol Schools Music Service.

	Sound & Vision 2004 show report - part 1 [English]
		This year's Bristol show was a rather quiet affair, with not too many significant product launches.
		I found their sound generally still to abrasive, but the company is a-changing.
		The sound was dynamic, exciting, and even if somewhat fierce, entirely suited to the replay of an energetic live set.

	Metroactive Music \| The Bristol Sound
		Out of break-beat ambition, racial segregation and tenuous miscegenation, the Bristol sound has become one of the most influential of the decade.
		Bristol is a port town, and Johnson's book makes much of the fact that the city played a key role in the slave trade--the horrible transatlantic triangle of goods for bodies.
		In kindred spirit with the off-center post-punk of Bristol O.G. Mark Stewart (ex-leader of the Pop Group and Adrian Sherwood collaborator), the seemingly unfinished music parallels a jagged and anxious frame of mind.

	Poetry News: Bristol (Winter 2001/2
		Bath and Bristol may be geographically very close, but they represent very different aspects of modern city life.
		Bath is a heritage city of great history and elegance, with streets designed for carriages and the dressy parade of wealth, Bristol is an ancient bombed-out port, that has picked itself up and gone racing into the new century.
		Bristol is far from being only a centrally active city.

		Coming from the same sound system roots as Soul II Soul, dance producers are at the centre of a thriving West Country scene that fuses hip hop beats, reggae basslines, and classic pop melodies.
		Charlie, a member of Bristol's Three Stripe posse, puts his key in the front door and we head back to the living room studio where producers Rob Smith and Ray Mighty cook up inspired combinations of the old and the new.
		The sound of Bacharach and David, gifted tin pan composers of the Sixties, colliding with the raw power of scratchy breakbeats and bass heavy reggae rhythms is really the key to an age-old underground sound.

	Why We Love The Bristol Three --- Ink Blot Magazine
		This distinctive sound arose from Bristol, England in the early '80s with the formation of the Wild Bunch, which went on to spawn the three most compelling Bristol artists: Massive Attack, Tricky, and Portishead.
		Bristol became a non-stop party as the Wild Bunch were enthusiastically encouraged to consume the live music scene.
		It's hard to tell at this point if the Bristol sound will be around as long as Mick and Keif, but if it is, it will definitely be Massive Attack, Tricky, and Portishead risking breaking their hips for the faithful.

	Sound & Vision 2005 show report - [English]
		The aim of this exercise is to get to the true sound of the driver, without cabinet or crossover spoiling the broth, and at a high sensitivity.
		Varying the signals and phase to each speaker separately made it possible to generate a number of targeted sound beams that could be bounced off walls to create, at the listening position, the effect of a true surround system.
		The YSP-1 Digital Sound Projector, costing a mere UKP 800, is a single unit to be positioned below a plasma or LCD screen, comprising of a Dolby Digital/DTS decoder, amplifiers, two woofers and an array of 40 midranges, steered in the abovementioned fashion to recreate up to five discrete channels (sub not included).

		Basically it is a loudspeaker with 42 drive units (the sound making parts) each driven by their own amplifier.
		It works by focusing the sound in different directions and reflecting the sound off walls to give you a three dimensional effect.
		It's not the primary sound system I would choose for my main hi-fi listening but ideal for either a secondary system or for someone not quite as fussy as me but doesn't want a room full of speakers.

		Greetings from Bristol, England, a city only two hours from London by car, but a million miles away in terms of peace of mind.
		The history of Bristol is colourful but dark: as one of the main ports involved in the infamous "triangular trade", Bristol was a mercantile city with a long tradition making money in slaves, alcohol and tobacco.
		The Bristol Sound is slower and that much more enjoyable.

	looking askance from '63: The Bristol Sound...
		Everyone was talking about Portishead, Tricky, Massive Attack - everyone outside Bristol, that is. The talk was about them representing The Bristol Sound, but (as I remember it), that was bollocks.
		The band everyone here were going to see was The Moonflowers, and the soundtrack of the Summer of Bristol 93 was dominated by Miles davis - Amandla, We want Miles and particularly his last album Doo Wop.
		I'm sure jazz purists hated it - it is a commercial, accessible album with hip hop beats and raps that frankly were a bit Kenny Everett, but it all hung together really well and was threaded through with that trumpet...

	Bristol duo Way Out West on recording Don’t Look Now
		When the definitive history of what has come to be known as “the Bristol sound” is eventually written, the pantheon of Massive Attack, Portishead, Smith and Mighty and Roni Size will undoubtedly provide the grist for the main narrative.
		I mean, the Bristol sound has never really been associated with house music or dance music specifically like what we're into.
		Originally conceived as an instrumental track, “Fear” took further shape as the synths, sounds — and eventually Omi's lead vocal — were piled on.
