This reminds me of somebody...
You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Also, for Trip-hop, Tricky, who worked with Massive Attack early on.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
It's hard to list Trip Hop bands cos it wasn't a scene, it was a description applied (originally) to the various post-Wild Bunch Bristol acts who combined dub and hip hop at the start of the '90s. If you've already got the Massive/Tricky/Portishead albums then I'd just hit the motherload - anything released on On-U Sound records in the '80s. Particularly On-U Sound System, Mark Stewart and the Maffia, Dub Syndicate...
If you just want stuff that's kind of like Massive Attack - and lord knows many people do - check out Kruder and Dorfmeister's The K&D Sessions, Nightmares On Wax, early Moloko, Talvin Singh and pretty much anything on Ninja Tunes or Big Chill recordings will have the right vibe.
The actual trip-hop sound was blown away when Jungle hit, so there weren't that many key recordings.

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark
Thank you all! Whee! More music!
That whole derivation of names for the genre sounds like the mishmash known as "darkwave" or "darkambient" and all its spawn.
Makes the head spin.

The best thing I ever got off Thomas Bartlett's shitty Salon blog: [link] Listen to "Treadwell No More," which is from Richard Thompson's soundtrack to an upcoming Herzog film. It has a pleasant similarity to Neil Young's Dead Man soundtrack.
The two jokey songs about Janet Jackson & Pat Metheny are also fun.

HEY, MSBELLE! Did you get my email? I've been slow to get out thank-you notes, but we really appreciate the baby swag.
Abe's doing fine in general, but he's a fussy little thing. After a few nights of lack of sleep, my wife was at her wit's end last night. Even though I was supposed to be at work at 7, I was up with him until 2:30 last night (and since this is the 4th day in the row like this, I didn't make it in until after 9). Our post-partum doula said she rarely sees a child as unwilling to nap as our kid. Lucky us. He's really cute when he calms down, though.

Nah, we're fine. He's just an expressive kid.
