Trip Hop was a term invented by mainstream critics to describe any
interesting funky break-beaty techno offshoot that they happen to like. Of
course the musicians themselves will resent that label, since it lumps them
into some random amorphous group that's defined by rock critics, for
Christ's sake.
For the sake of compartmentalization, I call it abstract hip-hop, which is
what MoWax seems to have started calling *their* stuff. And yes, NinjaTunes
puts out the best examples of that stuff, whatever you want to call it.
