DUMMY - SIMPLY VINYL HEAVY VINYL OUT OF PRINT EDITION - Track Listings - The collaboration of studio whiz Geoff Barrow and singer Beth Gibbons, Dummy was made at the same time as a short film noir called "To Kill a Dead Man," and the same approach--gloomy, tormented, and wildly melodramatic--permeates the album. "Sour Times" (the hit in which Gibbons cries, again and again, "Nobody loves me, it's true") and the more cryptic "Glory Box" are the linchpins of the album, defining its sound: dark flashes of old soul and film music, dehumanized electronic bleeps, Gibbons emoting like she's consumed by shame, and a bass-and-beat pulse derived from the slow bump and grind of the Bristol scene that spawned Barrow's old collaborators, Massive Attack 1. Mysterons 2. Sour Times 3. Strangers 4. It Could Be Sweet 5. Wandering Star  6. Numb 7. Roads 8. Pedestal 9. Biscuit

PORTISHEAD - PORTISHEAD - TWO LP SET - 180 GRAM SIMPLY VINYL LONG OUT OF PRINT ISSUE

Track Listings - The bad news is that there is no "Sour Times" to equal the first album's greatness. Lead single "Cowboys" doesn't do the trick, not with its '50s sci-fi dub vibe and the Yma Sumac stylings of Beth Gibbons. The upside is that this bold sophomore release is, even at this late date in trip-hop's evolution, still startling, thanks to the mix of Geoff Barrow's soundscapes and Gibbons's haunting wail.

Portishead's first album, Dummy, was released in 1994 and the first single was "Numb." The album was successful in both Europe and the United States (where it sold more than 150,000 copies even before the band toured there). Dummy spawned two hit singles, "Glory Box" and "Sour Times," and went on to win the prestigious Mercury Music Prize in 1995. After their initial success, Portishead withdrew from the spotlight for three years until their second album, Portishead, was released in 1997. The album's sound differed from Dummy, the main difference being that much of the music was composed and played by the band, not sampled from records, and had a grainy, harsher sound. Three singles, "Cowboys," "Over" and "All Mine" were released, the latter achieving a Top 10 placing in the UK. In 1997, the band performed a one-off show with strings by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra at Roseland Ballroom in New York. A live album primarily featuring these new orchestral arrangements of the group's songs was released in 1988. For the next few years, the band members concentrated on solo and other pursuits, until in February 2005, the band appeared live for the first time in seven years at the Tsunami Benefit Concert in Bristol. 1.   Silence 2.   Hunter 3.   Nylon Smile 4.   The Rip 5.   Plastic 6.   We Carry On 7.   Deep Water 8.   Machine Gun 9.   Small 10.   Magic Doors 11.

ROSELAND NYC LIVE 2 LP SET 2007 GO BEAT RECORDS RELEASE - First off, for a live album, the recording is outstanding. It's clear, balanced, and the acoustics are excellent.  Some people like this LP, some people didn't. I, personally thought it was one of the best albums I've ever heard. It doesn't really sound live at all, except when the audience cheers, (And when they messed up Roads by clapping all through it.) All of the songs sound as if something has been added to give them more depth. Beth's voice sounds even more beautiful than on the original recordings. If you're new to Portishead and you can't decide on what album to get, buy this one. It has songs from both Dummy and Portishead on it and they sound fabulous. This LP remains my favorite even though I've listened to it thousands of times.
