Album Notes & Community Reviews

A deeply atmospheric, chronological retrospective tracing the Bristol collective's invention and total mastery of the trip-hop genre throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. From the lush, soul-infused samples of 'Blue Lines' to the claustrophobic, post-industrial dread of 'Mezzanine' and '100th Window', the compilation vividly maps their increasingly dark sonic trajectory. It features the newly recorded, cinematic single 'Live with Me'.
