Another thing, I know I'm breaking script here but Submotion Orchestra is mad hot. This is an oldie; Fragments, 1969, Alium, and Colour Theory are real good too. They're more jazz than dubstep so:
Submotion Orchestra stills falls under some of the related genres I listed and their music is great and certainly has the feel of some trip hop elements! I just listened to the Fragments album and I'm now in love with group. I'm thinking about posting some Trip Rock songs soon to try and break the comfort of only sharing pure trip hop since it almost kept you from sharing a great group like that.

Since you started this thread, I've been pretty much exclusively listening to this kind of music. lol There's just so much good stuff out there. 10 years ago I would have never listened to these styles so much (even in the 90s when trip-hop was becoming well known I didn't really listen to it a lot). It's amazing how much one's musical tastes can change over the years!
When I first listened to trip hop I thought it was boring ambient music with some hip hop style drum beats. I didn't even like Archive's Londinium album at first but after actually listening to it with some decent headphones and volume turned up, paying attention to all the sounds I realized how much of a trip hop song I didn't hear and how amazing it was. The same songs I thought were boring now sounded like the best thing ever. I was only listening to the loudest ambient sound and drum beats on poor quality headphones and speakers. I probably would of never became a trip hop fanatic if I didn't give it a second chance and got to listen to it on decent speakers. As a byproduct it also got me into hip hop since the only hip hop I thought of was mainstream rap hip hop which I despise.
