portishead 'dummy" is my favorite album and i am just amazed by beth gibbons.

In reply to this comment by FlowersInHisHair:
Ah, Rollins is just displaying his ignorance. For every terrible run-of-the-mill dance track or mindless slab of Eurodisco, there's something amazing by Orbital, Massive Attack, Chemical Brothers, Lemon Jelly, Portishead, Basement Jaxx, Leftfield...
you forgot zero 7,gotan project,dead can dance,amon tobin,sneaker pimps.
those are actual bands...they play instruments..trip hop is amazing.
again,as i stated..i like techno,but i do not agree that having the ability to use reson or acid pro should be a validation of supremacy over actual musicianship.
talented?creative? of course.
more relevant than actual musicians? never.
the bands you posted are just that...bands.
oh..and i am in LOVE with beth gibbons!!!!

nice!

"and Portishead/Beth Gibbons and PJ Harvey..
Do others have the same/a similar assocation?
Other artists?"

mmm, Hole?

"Tip o' the hat to Eklek for introducing Lisa and me."

fave portishead song, uhh beth gibbons and her orgasmic voice, perfect

Farhad...breathe...relax (the comment reads like your about to hyperventilate!) Now...calmly & clearly - read the following:

- Portishead's first album, Dummy - was ten years in development previous to it's release (in the mind of its major musical contributor: Adrian Utley)

- To say he's not part of Portishead, is to say you're not part of this online community:

"Portishead are Beth Gibbons, Adrian Utley and Geoff Barrow. This is the Official Home to Portishead" - from their Myspace (he even has his own section of the official Portishead Forum!)

You fail maths or something?

How is a 3 year interval between Dummy and Portishead indicative of any possible release almost 14 years later? I think it's over and done with especially after I saw the 1998 performance at Roseland NYC.

And am sorry but Portishead is Geoff Barrow and Beth Gibbons. As far as I know Adrian contributed on Dummy, but he isn't even recognized as a full member by the label.

A fascinating French one-off documentary (all in English with French subtitles) - interviewing Portishead (in their home town) and featuring seven live performances - but unfortunately, it's all randomly split-up:

#1: Intro & Interview on name (2:04)
#2: Glory Box live (1:37)
#3: Wandering Star live & interview (6:11)
#4: Interview on lyrics / music production (4:31)
#5: Sour Times live (4:47)
#6: Interview on Dummy release & self-titled second album (1:58)
#7: Mysterons live (5:38)
#8: Interview with Andy Smith on Bristol & the beginning (4:46)
#9: Half-Day Closing live (3:54)
#10: Interview with Beth Gibbons (1:21)
#11: Roads live (4:30)
#12: Interview on growing-up (4:35)
#13: Strangers live (6:12) [above]

Oh I love Portishead so much, I own the DVD of the NY performance. Beth Gibbons, oh thy sultry voice that kept me awake late at night as I listened to your records. I remember I showed this video to my ex, back in high school when we were sooo in love and all, when I shared it with her, this band that defined my adolescent years, she just thought it was bloody depressing, while I found it mesmerizing, hypnotic and other emotions that I couldn't and still can't can in a word.

It was the first sign that the airplane that was our relationship was crashing.

Ah, alas Portishead they are no more. I'd love if you got the video of "All Mine" up... which was freaky and interesting to watch at the same time
