Interesting claim, but there were 12"s coming out in the triphop style in
92 and 93. I believe "Cantamilla" by Tranquility Bass was actually
released in 1991.

Eh. I'm annoyed by the tendency to relabel what was originally called
triphop (from 93-95) to big beat. Spare me. Don't come up with more names
for music. Just enjoy it. And don't play revisionist history.
