This very rare/obscure album, Rock Oil by Lascelles, is one of the most experimentalist I heard in trip-hop. It is very curious that it was released in 1996 - only 2 years after Portishead's Dummy and Massive Attack's Protection! You could describe it as "more historically important than pleasant to listen to" - however, unlike some 1998-1999 albums which manage to pull off a completely experimental trip-hop style, Lascelles just alternate between somewhat straightforward trip-hop and crazy melt moments.
