One of the most original 20th Century offerings.

Well they only made a couple of studio Albums though Beth Gibbons has done an excellent collaboration with Rustin' Man since, I think 2003.

Nevertheless, for those aware of the unique techiques used by Greg Barrows in producing the scratch material. You will not beat the Porishead sound. I am not going to go into the totally unique manner in which the scratch vinyl was painstakingly produced, but if you are a Poritshead Buff, you will have done your own research. They are in every respect and historically unique, using techniques that have never been used before or since and probably, ultimately never will be again.

Beth Gibbons is utterly spot on yet has a little tantilising rough diamond edge of someone who has colourfully experienced life. She has a more than one little break in her vocal that will break your heart and your dearest "Fantasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay".

Not a woman to be messsed with. Assertiveness in art.

Might I recommend the New Yok Live DVD. It has evertything and is so utterly professional, authenic, accurate and given the treatment that these two founder members would have wanted.

What can you say except that this is Portishead by Portishead. Without it your CD collection is not a CD collection.

It is not my first copy but I bought it becsue it is as sssential as having a pulse.

Kinseasr regards and good Karma always,
