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]

This makes me sad that there hasn't been a word from them for years...

They're still working on their new album...apparently (despite all the faked vids people have posted about it!)

"portishead formed in 1991 and are writing their third studio album" - from Portishead's MySpace

That's the same thing they have been saying since 2000!

Er, yeah - they've been saying it longer (Portishead released in '97 after Dummy in '94)...that's why I said another decade (above).

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.

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!)

can't you guys conduct your penis competition elsewhere on the world wide web!?!?

Sorry LadyBug...but Farhad's comments are just too utterly wrong to not tear-apart!

Admittedly, other Sifters may not enjoy the constant banter & bickering as much as we both blatantly do! Maybe Lucky could develop a Benjee vs Farhad bullshit filter...
