Third (Limited Edition Box Set Version)

by: Portishead

Release Date April 29, 2008
Luego de la larga espera podemos disfrutar de Portishead nuevamente.
El disco se diferencia un poco de los dos anteriores (demasiado tiempo los separa) pero se logra ver una progresión en su trabaja.
La vos de Gibbons es mucho más madura se parece mucho al trabajo que hizo con Rustin Man, no tiene los gritos agudos que nos acostumbramos en Dummy y en Protishead, ni tampoco sus falsetes. Pero ahora presenta un vos voz más sólida.
Los arreglos de Barrow ya van al extremo en este disco, el uso excesivo de secuenciadotes y sintetizadotes e incluso las percusiones eléctricas saturan el álbum.

Como fan de Portishead por largos años, este disco sigue sorprendiéndome y esperando poder escucharlos en vivo en algún ... Read More:

Sour Times

by: Portishead

Release Date January 31, 1995
There are 3 remixes or Sour Times on this CD. 2 of them (tracks 2 and 6) are barely different from the original but aren't as good. Although they aren't _bad_ they just aren't very interesting. "Lot More" is the 3rd remix, and it is practically rap, its nothing like the Portishead we are used to. (I can't stand that track).

"Tribute..." Is really pretty good, its a 7 minute long jazz/blues piece (no singing) followed by a few second of silence followed by a 4 minute blues-y remix of another song from Dummy. This is easily the best track on the single.

"Theme..." looked very promising since its from a movie... except they never sing on this track either. Its allright, its better than ... Read More:

Give 'Em Enough...Dope, Volume Two

by: Larry Heard, DJ Food, Kruder and Dorfmeister, Hustless of Culture, Pressure Drop, T-Power Vs. M.K. Ultra, Akasha, Howie B., Mekon, Portishead

Release Date August 08, 1995
This album is chock-full of excellent early trip/hop tracks most influenced by jazz and r&b. This (and the Volume 1 edition) introduced me to trip-hop and eventually electronic music in the early 90's, and to this day I still listen to it when I want some mellow but not at all boring or newagey music to chill by. Kruder & Dorfmeister, Massive Attack, Portishead and Hooverphonic fans will probably find this record to their liking.

Dummy

by: Portishead

Release Date January 25, 2000
"Trip-hop"? "Downtempo"? Although it is a dark record, between Beth Gibbons' tortured voice, Geoff Barrows' beats, scratches and samples, and Adrian Utleys' jazzy guitar: this album is pure sex.

Don't believe me? Try it.

Urbal Beats, Vol. 2

by: Wildchild, Uberzone, The Freestylers, DJ Icey, Goldie, Hive, DJ Die vs. DJ Shadows, Portishead, Orbital, 808 State

Release Date May 12, 1998
No collection will ever be perfect, but this does a decent job. The first disc is what's supposed to be hot (in 98). The second is supposed to be some old school classics. Some well known artists are on here like "Prodigy", "Moby", and "Portishead". My favorite thing by far is some of who's sampled on different tracks. Samples from "Bad Brains", "Kate Bush", "The Verve", and the theme from "Twin Peaks". Overall a good comp. The 1st "Urbal Beats" is good too. Pretty much electronica's greatest hits.
