Certainly born there, and I think spent a fair amount of his early working life in London. Worked on projects all over in reality, but seems to be first associated with West Country/Bristol in most people’s minds, partly as a function I guess of GWR, the bridge and the ship. Great signing for us back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up with "trip-hop" and I have no ******* clue either. The way I always understood it was that it was the kind of music you'd hear in underground raves where everyone was "tripping".

It's a term created by the media to try and describe the jazz-hip hop-breakbeat-soul-electronica fusion that happened in Bristol with the Wild Bunch and later Massive Attack, Tricky, and Portishead.
