I really like Portishead's first two albums and now I'm looking for some other trip hop to get into. Where should I start to get into the genre, and also are there any other bands/artists similar to Portishead (sparse female vocals over bass/keyboard/drums and vintage samples) that I should look into

MASSIVE ATTACK OMGWTFBBQ LISTEN TO MASSIVE ATTACK YOU JACKASS
Albums:
Protection > Blue Lines > Mezzanine
Lots of people will tell you shit like "omg Mezzanine is the best album wtf shut up you jerkwad" but they don't know the score.
-
Why don't you get the third portishead album?
-
so far, so good on the suggestions
but trip-hop is more a media label than an actual movement
check out Goldie's first album "Timeless"

THAT'S JUNGLE, NUKKA

Actually I have it. I've listened to it a couple times and I'm still figuring it out; I didn't like it at all on the first listen. Perhaps because I listened to it at 3AM after staying out all night. Second listen I like it more, but I'm a bit bummed it's such a departure from their first two albums. I didn't want a rehash (like their second album to a certain degree) but Third kinda lacks the dark melodies and instrumental stuff I liked about Dummy and most of their second album.

Zero 7, PD! and try out Hooverphonic

yes, however from a production standpoint, it touches on many of the same thematic elements covered by massive attack and by portishead, though not so much portishead

Yeah, Hooverphonic have a real serious funk sound and varying sound throughout their album.
As far as Zero 7 goes, start from the first on up. Their sound is sort of evolving with each release.

Is Lamb considered trip-hop? Sounds like it to me. Check them out.

The best trip-hop i've ever heard, still listen to it regularly.

Sia and Tina Dico, both of them are amazing. "Home" (and the remixed version) are my absolutely favorite Zero 7 tracks (vocals are by Tina Dico). Also, Sia's voice is absolutely phenomenal when she goes over the top with it.

:bow RoboJ :bow2
doesn't most of his later stuff bore you though? i couldn't find anything remotely as good as Maxinquaye in his catalog. Unless you count the Massive Attack stuff he worked on.
-
I liked Nearly God a lot; it's not nearly as good as Maxinquayem, but there are a few gems in there. I haven't listened to anything he did after Pre-Millennium Tension, which I did find pretty dull.
-
listen to groo, he knows his shit.

They were playing that song (The Heart's A Lonely Hunter) in the Japanese restaurant I went to over the weekend, for some reason.

Badass, thanks Groo :bow
I'm gonna check out that stuff after class tomorrow.

I love you Groo, for classifying whether the band has Vocals or not (and gender). Mandalay = :bow
-
Holy shit there are awesome people in this thread.
Thievery :bow2
Gnarls Barlkly and Thievery are playing in Vegas by the pool @ Mandalay Bay when we're....not gonna be there. :(
-
Oh and another :bow for Groo's Mono recomendation (Formica Blues). The Single "Life in Mono" is so fantastic, its ingrained in my memory from a mixtape my uncle had made in the 90's using the same track.

Does Linkin Park count? :o ??? :maf :maf :maf
