Always a treat to hear Lisa’s voice, and this is maybe my favorite of hers, rendered with your usual classy, good-taste professionalism.

You a Portishead fan, by any chance? :)

Can’t say that I am. Is there a Portishead vibe going on here?

Well, I’m no expert but something about the glowing electonics and Lisa’s voice harkened back for me a bit…

Check out their 1994 release “Dummy” if you’re ever bored.

Hey guys, it seems to me that the voice here is from Shannon, not Lisa. Lisa has a beautiful voice, but I believe the reference track is a Lisa’s remix of Shannon’s voice - check other pellas from Lisa and Shannon. Great remix, by the way

If you just have time for one song, try “It could be sweet”

Just did some listening to Portishead and I agree: there are definitely parallels. I have to admit that this genre got by me completely. At the time I was diving deep into Americana (Sturgill Simpson, Drive-by Truckers,Steve Earle). I’m looking forward to listening to some “new-to-me” artists.

My personal favorite mid-90s trip hop record is Smoke City’s “Flying Away”.

I’m also pretty late to this party. In the actual mid-90s I was all about Phish, Medeski Martin & Wood, that sort of thing.

Oh yeah, real nice feel to this.
And I can see why mwic mentioned Portishead, though to me it’s more Morcheeba (same era).

I just checked out Morcheeba (Big Calm) and they had me with just the album art.

Love that album. Every track is as good or better than the last.
