Synopsis

Album Description

Trip-hop is a laid back, relaxed style of electronic music that became popular largely due to the success of UK artists like Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, Hooverphonic, and others. Trip-hop is not techno music as it's certainly not aimed at the club dancefloor, but rather the lounge or even the bedroom. "Noir: Smooth Female Trip Hop" is an excellent collection of tracks from trip-hop bands fronted by female vocalists and should appeal to fans of the aforementioned bands as well as fans of female vocals in general. Excellent music to accompany a cocktail hour, dinner for two, a long bath, or any other occasion requiring tranquil and relaxing vibes.

CD Reviews

Okay

Rain | New Castle, DE United States | 09/02/2003

(3 out of 5 stars)

"If you are looking for a jazzy, smooth, mellow, not so trip hoppy album, then this is the album for you. Most of the songs on here sound the same, the voices aren't any thing too outstanding, and the music is nice, but not catchy. If you liked the first five songs on the album She: A Trip Hop Experience, then you will be disapointed with this album. There are no such gems on this one, no one song that really jumps out with that beautiful original greatness. This is okay for a nice ride in to car, relaxing, and just okay. Honestly myself, I wish I hadn't wasted my money though. But for others, it may be okay. But nothing when compared to the former, Massive Attack, or Hoovephonic. You won't miss anything good if you don't buy this album."

Not what I'd call trip-hop.

(3 out of 5 stars)

"The music featured on this album is not what I'd call trip-hop; it's much more similar to mid-90's gothic or even "adult contemporary" music. Think Sarah McLachlan-type stuff. I agree with an earlier reviewer that none of the songs on the album really stand out. "Noir" is a disappointingly mediocre and monotonous album.

Amazon suggested that I purchase "She: A Female Trip Hop Experience" along with this item, which I did. That album was much closer to what I expect from an album billed as "female trip-hop". I recommend purchasing that ablum instead, if you're interested in actual trip-hop instead of featureless easy listening."

NOT trip-hop, but nice

"This CD is NOT trip-hop, but, for the most part, it's not a bad mix of music either. Some of the female vocals are annoying and lyrics don't make sense, but others, especially the ones not sung in English, are lush and sexy. Overall, a nice downtempo CD."
