Portishead

[psykopain]

this band is my favorite triphop band they seem to know my mood.....i luv the singers voice.

if anyone knows.....r they still together? and if so, when will they put a new CD out?

 

[chemicalburn]

hmmm not big into them but I've heard a little. If you like them though, you should check out Telepopmusic (sp?). They collaborated on some stuff and aren't too bad either.

I really like Portishead. I've only heard 'Dummy' so far, but I hope to find the others some day.

I think they kick ass. I heven't heard anything else quite like them. I haven't really checked out the trip hop scene much.

 

[psykopain]

they stand out from what i've heard

Portishead is awesome.

Portishead, generally, stands far above all other trip hop bands.

However, the Massive Attack album "Mezzanine" is, BY FAR, the best trip record ever released. I've played this album for metalheads about a dozen times, and almost each time the listened then went & purchased the record!

The atmosphere is dark, claustrophobic & stifling! It's not as "jazzy", or as "lounge" as PHead, but it's just....darker.


Another great triphop records to look for is Tricky's "Maxinquaye". It's very sensual...almost hypnotic...and dark, of course.
However, all of his other records are unlistenable shite.

i'll have to check out mezzanine soundmaster

is mezzanine the CD with angel and the singer from portishead on one or some tracks? if it is, it is a great CD and i have a burnt copy.

You must!
It's actually somewhat similar to Ulver's "Perdition City", although not as varied.

The great song "Angel" IS on Mezzanine. However, the female singer is, I think, from Cocteau Twins (or something like that). But she's definitely NOT Beth Gibbons from Portishead.

cool... I love "Perdition City"... I'll have to see if I can pick up "Mezzanine" used somewhere

i know angel is not sung by Beth, i'm talking about i think #6 or so.......i heard she was on that track.

I couldn`t agree more...
