Since I do not know what "up-tempo" is please note that I based my choice here just on@ulogon , as much i like Massive Attack and One Love i would not venture saying trip hop being uptempo.
Your favourite slow track
Up tempo is higher BPM ( beats per minutes).
Trip Hop being slow bpm by nature ( most tracks are below 120 bpm).
Of course it'will depend of genre: eg in D&B the standard is 175/190 bpm, anything in 150 bpm range would be 'slow'. In ambient there is often no beats so... any tracks with very slow evolving sound could do ( 20mn tracks...).![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

Trip Hop: Massive Attack,Tricky, Portishead, Morcheeba, Dj Shadow, Londinium, Mo'Wax label,...
Appeared during 90's as a down tempo variant of hip hop mixed with dub, soul,etc,etc... originated (mainly) from UK, more accurately around Bristol (Massive Attack and Tricky are from Bristol, Portishead is the name of a small village nearby,...).
From USA Dj Shadow 2 first album ( Endtroducing, and The Private Press).
People like Air ( France), Hooverphonic (Belgium) produced tracks in the style.
MO'WAX had 'Headz1 and 2' as sampler of the style including different artists from around the globe.

Exactly the same here.I know nothing 'bout up tempo, have heard the term but haven't cared - I listen to music, not up/down/sideways/or-whatever tempo.
However it is not at all a "fault" of @krivium who is just explaining it.
If anything, it's the fault of whoever chose the theme!
