Edgy Trip Hop Recommendations

Gotan Project. Trip hop with a tango vibe, or vice versa. Some interesting music at times.

I second Kruder and Dorfmeister. You can also check out OM records out of SF. They have a lot of classic downtempo stuff going back many years, all of which is available on vinyl if that is your thing. You can also go to netmusique.com and check out their downtempo channel, you will get a lot of great artist recommendations from there.

Lots more out there but there are a lot of great suggestions in this thread,

Add Lemon Jelly to Emisers list

Goldfrapp.
Morcheeba.
Kid Loco.

Another thumbs up for Lemon Jelly boys, their 'Lost Horizons' album is a must have in a cd collection.
