Uncle Kid - What A Wonderful World
Here's shady Scottish musician Uncle Kid with a surprisingly dark cover version of the Louis Armstrong classic. Channelling Aidan Moffat (from Arab Strap) the spoken-word recital builds with increasing musicality, incorporating guitar, strings and percussion to great effect. It's the Fisher Price musical instruments that give it the creepy edge though.
I really enjoyed this '90s UK Jazzy Trip-hop mix from Nina Yamada

Delightfully rousing Trip-Hop and Acid-House
Parallel Action - Waiting on You (feat. B'licious)
Who's up for a Trip-Hop revival? Parallel Action's eponymous album has you covered. The opening track in particular is a beauty, with hints of Portishead courtesy of B’licious (the voice of the psychedelic-funk group The Heliocentrics).
