You can loop the first part of ELP's live version of Rodeo and you get a beat similar to 'funky drummer' plus a cool synth glissando. It was one of the first loops I made when I first got a sampler back in the late 80s.

kay, as per my understanding...trip hop is instrumental based electronic music that retains a "natural" sound (i.e., keyboards that sound like pianos, organs, harpsicords, gutiars are a plus). Very ('humble, very) heavy on the drums (live and machines) and bass, long stretches without vocals that utilizes repetative riffage. Liberal use of sampling. Mood is usually more downbeat. 

For example, I'd consider this more trip hop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZsHNkAJBDU&feature=related

than the provided this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGYRvIOZfZ8

Of course, the infamous "Teardrop" is a personal fave...

Well that sounds about right, I'm not going to argue with the main point since you're the one who actually listens to to trip hop, and that other song was much more sedate than I was expecting, but the hip hop rhythms are still there, and that's not really a part of 15 Step or Karma Police. What annoyed me is that so many people in this thread are labelling anything with electronic sounds as trip hop, and no, Porcupine Tree and King Crimson are not trip hop.

No, they are not.

any one who's paid attention to music in the past 10 years, would count several bands in the prog trip hop camp: orbital, banco de gaia, the chemical brothers, stereolab, roni size and individuals such as towa tei and amon tobin have certainly stretched the boundries of chillout, ambient, and trip hop enough to stretch right into the progressive rock camp, roni size in particular, hits the stage with 4 turntablists, a drummer, a standup bassist, a rap guy, and a diva, and anyone who's heard their album "NEW FORMS" would concur  that this is one of the growing number of trip hop bands that defy classification and have clearly crossed over into prog, steve hillage's system 7 is a fine example of this, and amon tobin in particular, is one of the chief exponents of this type of music, I urge you all to expand your horizons and checkout these bands!!

'The Big Sleep' (How To Measure A Planet?)
 
'A Life All Mine' (Souvenirs) ~ With Kristoffer Rygg (Ulver)
 
My Dying Bride also touched on Trip Hop on 34.788%... Complete and covered Portishead's 'Roads' for a Peaceville compilation CD

Fantastic recommendations Dean  ClapClapClap The Gathering were the first that came to mind, along with Ulver, being mentioned before

Also, not sure if applicable but Tiamat also had some nice trip-hop moments in A Deeper Kind of Slumber...
