Pure Trip Hop (Pure Series, Volume 1)
It's difficult to define trip-hop, and most trip hop artists deny they are part of any scene at all. Often described as "instrumental hip hop", emphasis is on the music itself but every DJ producer has their own way of keeping a track alive so there can never be a distinctive trip-hop sound.. It takes ideas from jazz, blues, hip-hop, dub, ambient, even classical music.
"...This two-disc set is sonically adventurous with a wide range of useful samples.......this is a comprehensive collection"FUTURE MUSIC UK
"A barrage of pretty clean and slick construction kits gets things started... this is one for those who like their trip-hop a little more upbeat"

"...The quality of the grooves is uniformly excellent - crunchy and compressed, quantized with a little swing, and dry enough to leave the plug-in or processing choices up to you. But it's the keyboard and bass sounds that really stand out: throbbing, vinylized Wurlitzer chords; arcing Mellotron sweeps; 30 gorgeous electric piano samples; and loads of tony, acid jazz-approved electric bass riffs and lines. That's not to say that the drums aren't happening. For a programming buff, it's pure ambrosia: MPC-2000 and SU700 users, look alive... Hip and very musical... In the final analysis, the samples themselves satisfy the most basic criterion of a good sample: they're inspiring..."
