>> Hi. A newbie here. There are a few CDs I'm thinking of getting,
but
>> I

>> rapping as
>> a vocal style. So, a lot of potentially great albums are ruined for
me by
>> the
>> presence of rapping. Basically, what I'm looking for is good
instrumental
>> trip-hop, although I also like the sung vocals in bands like
Portishead
>> and
>> Morcheeba. Anyway, if those of you who are familiar with the
following
>> CDs
>> could let me know whether or not there's rapping on them, that would
be
>> great!
>> Off-list, if you like. Or on-list if you think this might be of
interest
>> to
>> others. In time, I guess I'll come to know better what *is* of
general

knowledge and
>> good, new music. Thanks! Here are the discs in question:
>>
>> Coldcut: Journeys by DJ: 70 Minutes
>> DJ Food: Recipe for Disaster
>> Reflection: Errornormous World
>> Snooze: Man in the Shadow
>> Andrea Parker: Kiss My Arp
>> Pilgrims of the Mind: What's Your Shrine?
>> Sabres of Paradise: Haunted Dance Hall
>>
>> Also, if any of these just plain suck, could ya let me know
that,

>> :-) Thanks.
