The trip hop is irrelevant – my favourite Portishead album is actually Third, which largely left trip hop behind. And Beth Gibbons solo album from last year.
Mostly, it’s a combination of interesting song structures, Beth Gibbons’ vocals and lyrics. As Portishead evolved (and later as she went solo), it became more artistic and less poppy. And I like the later stuff more.
Is there a specific element or specific songs that seem to stick better than others? Or are you just looking for general electronic trip hop artists?
Sneaker Pimps might fit the bill?

Still like the early stuff, granted. :)
