\"http<\/a>Trip Hop is a slip\u00adpery genre, the name being applied to a bizarre vari\u00adety of musi\u00adcians, from Mas\u00adsive attack to Bj\u00f6rk. Start\u00ading as a reac\u00adtion against the Amer\u00adi\u00adcan dom\u00adi\u00adnance of Hip Hop, it has found voic\u00ades right in the heart of the Imperi\u00adum. Promi\u00adnent among them is Philadel\u00adphia based Daugh\u00adter Dar\u00adling, the col\u00adlab\u00ado\u00adra\u00adtive effort of dj\/producer broth\u00aders Travis and Steven Fogel\u00adman with vocal\u00adist Natal\u00adie Walk\u00ader. Walk\u00ader\u2019s vocals hark back to many indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adal\u00adis\u00adtic female singer-song\u00adwrit\u00aders, but the resem\u00adblance to both Sarah McLaugh\u00adlan and Bj\u00f6rk is pret\u00adty obvi\u00adous. I like her voice, and the way in artic\u00adu\u00adlates the lyrics, but I find some of the elec\u00adtron\u00adic nest its embed\u00added in occa\u00adsion\u00adal\u00adly annoy\u00ading. But most of the songs work well. The open\u00ading title track is fine, putting across a Leonard Cohen\u2011y world-weary lone\u00adli\u00adness to good effect. So is the clever re-work\u00ading of Kansas\u2019 \u201cDust In the Wind\u201d. \u201cBro\u00adken Bridge\u201d, with it\u2019s well-placed piano accom\u00adpa\u00adni\u00adment, and \u201cSad And Lone\u00adly\u201d, where horns and snares are used with equal taste, can\u2019t be fault\u00aded. \u201cLet Me Speak\u201d is prob\u00ada\u00adbly the strongest song. This album was wide\u00adly hyped when it came out, but I did\u00adn\u2019t hear it. Now I\u2019m play\u00ading catch-up. My taste does\u00adn\u2019t focus on this kind of music, but if it\u2019s well done, as this is, I\u2019ll listen.<\/span><\/p>\n
