I have no clue who any of them are so an opinion on genre would be pure guess.

 

[Spooner]

you don't know them? or you can't figure out genre?

 

[BatmanNate]

Trip hop or maybe IDM.

 

[Spooner]

I'm trying to figure out where I'd find this kind of music on Shoutcast.

 

[amnesiac]

Those seem to all be Trip-Hop and Downtempo. Technically they are separate things but generally clustered into the same group.

Do a search for "chillout" "trip-hop" or "downtempo."

Those are the three main things those are called.

 

[Spooner]

I have heard them placed under "trip hop" before.... a "new" genre so to speak, but this is not an option in Shoutcast

 

[Bulk Beef]

Misc.

 

[Ticks]

go to www.allmusic.com

it'll tell you what style they put it in

 

[Spooner]

ugh... they do have some "trip hop" stations, but at like 32-96 bitrates :|

Actually 96 wouldn't be as bad for trip hop since so much of it is low frequency which compresses pretty well.

No, it sounds like crap... especially since i want to rip it

 

[Electric Amish]

what you never heard of portishead? I'm sure you've heard the song Sour Times on the radio or Tv, it played alot in the mid 90's.

 

[waylman]

http://www.allmusic.com has tons of info on these bands and also classifies them into genre.

they are under the genre of "they suck".

 

[Chaotic42]

Never heard of them, never heard of trip-hop.

 

[kranky]

Air - hyperstomp
Si Se - blend of shoegazer pop and reboulet
Conjure One - don't know them
Zero 7 - bounce/downbuzz
Portishead - ambient with breakbeat
Massive Attack - itchy beat

 

[Bv3]

Well, Massive Attack pretty much invented trip-hop. Portishead would definitely be in that category too. I saw an interview with the guys from Air one time and the interviewer asked them what genre they would place themselves in. They said that they played "meticulously arranged elevator music."

 

[luv2chill]

I tend to refer to the genre as "downbeat electronica". Good stuff! Check out Thievery Corporation, Kruder and Dorfmeister, Cinematic Orchestra, and Royksopp while you're at it.
