Portishead-Portishead The UK trip hop second album is one of the most creative albums you are going to find. The beats are dark ,dungeonesque, and at times hypnotizing . If you are not an open minded person don't bother, this is for the free spirits. It is a band. I love live music f.y.i. The lead singer is Beth Gibbons and composistion is done by Programmer Geoff Barrow. it is reminiscent of Dummy, the bands first album, about 20% darker. Turntable scratches, low bass, and soft siren soft entice you into this neurotic expirence. It is similar to listening to a movie.
9/10 . It was released in 1997 and it is still one of the most futuristic retro sounding cd's I've ever heard. as much of an oxymoron as that sounds that is what makes them so good.
Favorite tracks only you(one of my all time fav's),Mouring air, Half Day Closing and Humming. I would play some of these tracks in a lounge type of setting or more intimate encounters, never at a party.
I never heard of them before yesterday they were really good. it was different but it was good though. I couldn't understand what she was saying but it sounded cool.
